The Upside of Falling: A Fun and Flirty Teen Romance

This book is such a feel good escape. Apart from all of the relatable events that took place in this book, it showed how facing things that we are afraid to can have a good outcome. Becca and Bretts friendship and relationship showed how we can find a feeling of hominess in a person. I recommend this book if you love watching rom-coms such as "To all the boy's I've loved before".

Such a good story. I really enjoyed the characters. I loved the multiple complex battles going on and following along as both characters developed and navigated through tough situations.My reason for dropping that 5th star is that there wasn’t more of a resolution for what happened with her parents divorce. I felt like there could’ve been more there. I’m left feeling a little empty and wondering.I also wouldn’t have minded an epilogue for a sneak peek into their story down the road. How did his parents wind up? How did the mom wind up? What about her rekindled friendship?Maybe a second book? I would absolutely read it.

This was actually one of the best books I have ever read. There was so many scenes in it that I related to. I 100% wish I read this when my parents got divorced 2 1\2 years ago. It is such a heartfelt and touching romance book that I couldn't put down. I literally spent all dah reading it. 5 stars for sure!! 💗💗

When I first saw this book I didn’t expect much from it. I figured it was going to be a cute, light read not an intense romance type book that I’m used to reading. But this book was still pretty entertaining and definitely had potential but you can tell that this is a Wattpad book just by the writing. You have to read it to really understand what I’m talking about but there was barely any character descriptions like at all, how the author went with their background stories was weird like every aspect of the book it was brought up unnecessarily but there was no resolutions or any character development or growth. Like for example Beca’s dad left her and her mom when she was young and throughout the book all she complained about was how her mom never talks about it and how she wants an explanation but it never happened like you would think it would…I mean the author brought it up so many times you’d think we’d get to a point where she sits down with her mom and talks about it but no. Also she found out that her dad started a new family and he literally lives down the street (which is pretty sad) and for the past couple of years she just walks to his house and watches him pull into the driveway from work and his new wife greet him…well some point in the book she just marches to his door and the wife invites her in (knowing she’s his daughter) they previously had an encounter sometime before that btw anyways she goes to his house and basically ends up just telling him she forgives him and stuff and she doesn’t want his apology or him in her life. Beca did that to “move on” I guess but she didn’t even get an explanation of why he did what he did even though he wanted to tell her. In my opinion she should have let him, I didn’t expect her to forgive him but it would have been nice and added something good to the book if she did. It just made all the complaining, questions, and back and forth dialogue about it in her head seem all for nothing. Now let’s move on to Brett this really bothered me lol…basically Brett’s family is supposed to be this rich perfect family but spoiler alert they’re not. In the book you can definitely tell something is off especially with the mother she’s always so emotional and down about something especially when it comes to the dads work. The dad is always going on these long work trips but turns out they weren’t all work trips Brett while with beca ends up catching his dad having an affair (he was just at dinner with another women) but you get it and after some useless investigations that him and beca did he finally just confronts him after seeing his dad with her again at this big party for his dads hotel. Turns out the mom already knew for a couple of months and Brett ends up kicking the dad out of the house. They go to some family therapy sessions and obviously the dad is saying he’s sorry but he’s only sorry he got caught, anyways later the mom says she wants the dad back and Brett let’s it and they go on like normal kinda. But this is exactly what I mean by no resolutions like so much of the conflict and drama that went on it the book was for nothing because they were never resolved. Now the two characters end up getting together in the end but that was really the only good part. I feel as if I wasted my time with this book and if I could go back i probably wouldn’t purchase it and I won’t be recommending just not worth it in my opinion. It definitely has potential like I said before if another author were to pick up this book and rewrite it but intensify the romance, the overall storyline, and characters this would be a great book but for now it’s a no for me.

It had so much love and respect for the name of romance 10-10 for me I would recommend this to anyone it is appropriate but still shows all the love you want

This book made me feel all the feels! It was funny, it was cheesy, it was sad, it was adorable, it was heartbreaking, it was beautiful.I do feel like it jumped around a bit and a good amount of things went unanswered. But overall, I thought this was super cute!

I was looking for something light and sweet, and this totally fit the bill!This was a cute story about Becca and Brett, a bookworm who doesn’t believe in love and a jock who has never had a girlfriend. They agree to a fake relationship so Becca can save face when being teased and Brett can get his dad off his back about not being in a relationship. Things, as would be expected, get a little blurred between reality and pretend as the two navigate their budding friendship. Family dramas put a dent in their real relationship and everything seems bleak for their new reality. But never fear, a happily ever after is just around the corner.I appreciated these characters quite a bit. I am not a fan of teenagers all being characterized as shallow and dramatic in these kinds of romance stories. I know quite a few teenagers who are level-headed and rather mature, just as I felt these characters were. They didn’t let stupid mistakes and irrational choices lead them into senseless drama. They looked at their issues in a very mature way that led them into making some really grown up decisions. I liked watching them grow as they acknowledged their mistakes and went about correcting them.I hope that the author continues to write new stories. I am looking forward to seeing what she has up her sleeve next!
