This Is Falling

The Falling Series, Book 1

De: Ginger Scott

Narrado por: Melissa Moran

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and 16 days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put 1,000 miles between my future and my past. I'd made a choice - I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn't know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn't supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn't want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn't.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.

loved it!

This story makes you fall in love with The characters. I was weeping by the end of the book. And not to mention the reader portrayed all the characters perfect!

Perfect Depiction of College Life & Young Love

This is Falling by Ginger Scott is a new-adult, coming-of-age novel. It is about new beginnings and letting go of the past.

I loved this book for its tragedy, its clumsy, unsure beginnings and its hope. Having two young adults who have recently moved to college, I appreciated the uncertainty the characters expressed as they stretch their wings having just flown their own nests. The development of new friendships in the dorm mirrored my children's experiences. Ms. Scott has captured the essence of that age group and the first experiences of college life.

Both lead characters, Rowe and Nate, have difficulties in their past that they must overcome. Rowe's past is fraught with tragedy and guilt, while Nate is dealing with a more typical young adult dating experience. Nate is the perfect young man, and his courtly patience in wooing Rowe is charming. Their sweet dance toward a relationship is refreshing. Ms. Scott's depiction of the roller coaster of their new relationship brings the reader into the fireworks and butterflies and the adrenaline rushes as well as into the floods of tears shed due to misunderstandings.

The plot is perfectly paced and thoroughly engaging. Both the primary and secondary characters are fully developed. There are no unnecessary characters who don't add to the storyline, and their are no throw-away, unneeded details.

I highly recommend this endearing new adult romance to all age groups, and I'm looking forward to Ginger Scott's follow up in the Falling series, You and Everything After.

Really loved this book

This is how I would want someone to feel for my daughter or for my son to feel for a girl.

Love Overcomes Tragedy.

This was the first book I have read/listened to by Ginger Scott and I really liked the story of Nate and Rowe. I just wish there would have been a Epilogue at the end to tell us how they end up later on in college, but maybe that will be in the next book from Ginger Scott. I was glad that both Nate and Rowe were focused on each other and didn't let any outside people try to break-up their relationship. I really liked how they played jokes on each other too. Too bad they didn't hook up sooner in the story but I guess that's what makes a good book. They had a really good connection between each other.

I would highly recommend this book to others if you want to read about a great love story between two people starting out in college. I hope to see another book by Ginger Scott soon, one was not enough.

Boring and narrator is robotic

Ginger Scott is a random grab bag. Some of her work is amazing and the rest is blah. This one is blah.

The heroine faced a major tragic event in life and I have respect for any person who is healing like she is. I guess it’s just the flat boringness of the story itself.

The narrator takes some getting used to, if that’s even possible.

I’m not sure if I’ll be listening to any other books in this series.
