Third book down. Fuck. I am addicted. Finished this last night. (I was contemplating if I should finish it today but I said 'fuck it I'll start a new book tomorrow instead'.)

So yeah, we have The Upside of Falling. Same as the previous book, I also randomly chose this under the Kindle Unlimited filter. Caught my eye because of the nice book cover -- shouts High School, Teen Love, and Romance. I am already an adult, I know, but don't judge me.. most of the time I think I am still in high school. Light Spoilers Ahead.

Well, the love story is somehow cliche but it has a deeper story inside -- tackled family issues like dealing with divorce which is a tough spot to touch for some. And also, dealing with fixing an already 'broken' family and understanding how it affects the children. Acceptance, heartbreaks -- you name it.

I love how the story was told. It's not the typical Wattpad story I read before. The author clearly went through a lot (I don't know it seemed to me) and is really smart. The protagonists' love story made me giddy but not that giddy. It made me realize I'm already an adult and some are already cringe for me as it is sometimes too cheesy but if you're a teenager now, you will absolutely love it!

When the conflict of the story came, I felt the familiar tinge in my heart -- the satisfying pain I loved feeling but it was too shortlived for me because they reconciled fast. The female protagonist is somehow relatable but she's not the typical girl you will find in an I-am-a-unique-girl series, movies, and books. She has a very different personality. Also, I love that I really liked the mean girl after her redemption period. As for the male protagonist, I liked him. Not the type of guy that I prefer (the feeling of you want the guy to be real and be your boyfriend). Maybe I will partner him up with a friend. Great personality -- too perfect.

Some parts are already dragging for me but just a few. You will still like it as much as I did. I don't have much to say because this is not a long book. Maybe took me less than 3 hours to finish? This is a crap review so I will end it now. Sorry! Teenager self is rating this: 8.5/10 Adult self is rating this: 7/10.

✨ “Sure, but there’s still so many downsides to falling in love. Reading however,” I said pointing toward my glorious bookshelf, “gives you all the fun without the pain. A great alternative” ✨ ✨ The upside of Falling by Alex Light ✨ 3.5/5 ⭐️ Okay quick thoughts: - loveeeeeee Becca - I personally relate to her a lot. The way she thinks of love, her concept of falling in love, her reasons of reading books AND almost EVERYTHING. - There were cute moments between Brett and Becca which I absolutely adored like GIMME MORE 😫 - And I loved the fact that there were no typical high school dramas. Nothing “b*tchy” The upside of Falling is originally a wattpad book, if you don’t know what it is about Fake dating + family dramas + romance novels + high school = THE UPSIDE OF FALLING - I would definitely recommend if you’re trying to get out of slumps - Such a cute and fun read - Great for beginners! Any other books that comes to your mind when I say Fake dating trope? EXCEPT for TATBILB and Fake it till you break it ? Ps. The later is in my tbr ✌🏽 Aight that’s it folks.

📚 The Upside of Falling by Alex Light Published on February 18th 2020 It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone. Brett Wells has it all. Being captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be her mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not dating and she can keep up the ruse. Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. When the line between real and pretend begins to blur, they are forced to answer the question: is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives? #ebooks #ebook #ebooksforsale #ebooksph #ebooksale #ebookstagram #ebooksofinstagram #Novels #Fiction #YoungAdult #Romance #Contemporary #AlexLight #StandAlone #theupsideoffalling https://www.instagram.com/p/CCruWyQpRLl/?igshid=r7j39j6bdqlm
