The upside of Falling ~ Alex Light ☆ Review
Heeya,
I’ve finally gotten to this book! After wanting to read it for quite a while now, I had placed it on my Spring TBR in hopes that i’d get to it soon — and I finally has!
5 / 5 stars
I instinctly loved this book from the very start, as I agreed with Becca’s way of thinking that fictionnal love found in books is much better (and safer) than the one felt for real. Somehow, I find that this book would pair great with my current favorite song; Better with you from Jesse McCartney.
I love how the friendship between Brett & Becca grew through this fake relationship setup; how she cares for him, and support him as he goes through a hard situation that had already happened to her.
This story is about friendship, and love– and I gotta say, it gave me some hope. Hope that sometimes things get back to you, because sometimes we part up with people based on mistakes.. and things we didn’t quite realized before. The song I picked made even more sense as I kept reading, when I wasn’t too sure how before, it made perfect sense and turned out to be accurate.
This book made me swoon & made me shed a few tears; both from “awe” than from sadness. I gotta say Becca’s bookworm trait was really well done- and there’s just something hilarious about a character cursing on romance in books and throwing them in the river 😂
