Falling

Just what you get! Romantic with usual insecurities with an unexpected twist!

An amazing read. The characters are written well and the author does a stellar job in making you fall in love with them. It is an easy book to read and I would 10/10 recommend it.

Falling is a beautifully written poignant love story. Can two people really fall and stay in love, if they are from two completely different worlds? Emma left England to take a fast-paced, high-paying job in America. After five years though of living and working in NYC, Emma was ready to slow down. She decided to move to Westport Connecticut. Although the cottage Emma rented was drastically outdated and needed renovating, she wasn’t worried. Emma loved interior decorating and couldn’t wait to get started beautifying her new home. Emma and her landlord, Dominic, were from completely different worlds and at first she wasn’t attracted to him. Sure, he was handsome and charming, but blue-collar workers were not her type. And Emma definitely didn’t need the complication of him being her landlord. Emma was used to being wined and dined by wealthy men, not bartenders, and carpenters. But, Dominic’s integrity and kindness won Emma over. She also fell in love with Jesse, his son. Struggles arose though when Emma’s upper-crust British parents met Dominic. And then again when Emma met Dominic’s loud and abusive parents. But, when Jesse’s mom showed up on the scene after deserting Jesse as an infant, Emma’s insecurities rose to a whole new level. Emma hated choosing between her parents, and the man whom they felt was beneath her. Her father liked Dominic but didn’t feel as if he would ever measure up to the family’s standards, and Emma’s mother treated Dominic as the help. Emma had some hard decisions to make, but in the end, she discovered what was truly important to her. Life was filled with hurts and hardships, and Emma learned that acceptance and choosing happiness every day were the best possible avenues that she could take. This a superbly written, emotionally charged love story. I loved it.

....so I could warn the next unsuspecting reader that this is one lousy book. It has no redeeming qualities and if you read on expecting one, it ain't gonna happen, dear reader.....trust me on this one thing and if you don't believe me, it's your life you're wasting.

I am a great fan of Jane Green’s work. And I am grateful to her for many happy, interesting and touching hours of reading … But Falling was a great disappointment, It’s difficult to write about why without giving too much away, but essentially, the author spent an inordinate amount of time wrestling with issues of class and common interests (a bit overdone) with her ‘romantic leads’, only to veer wildly off tangent at an odd point in the book. The reader is left unsettled, to say the least, and with little time left, any resolution feels incomplete and unsatisying. Ms. Green’s ineffable charm makes up for a lot, but I had the sense that perhaps this time she’d run out of ideas, or enough material to really round this book out. Still, its always a delight to see a new Jane Green book out there!

I love all of Jane Green books and enjoyed her newest novel. Her characters seem real and one tends to really like them. I was disappointed about the ending. Good beach read

Jane Green has done it again. This has been the best book that she has written.

I really enjoy Jane Green's work, I just couldn't get into this book. Usually I can't put her books down, this was not one of those books for me.

just wow. you wont be dissapointed
