Falling like Leaves

Bramble Falls

De: Misty Wilson

Narrado por: Rebekkah Ross

Gilmore Girls meets Jenny Han in this autumnal teen rom-com about a city girl stuck in a quaint small town who must confront her future and her old flame while the town prepares for an annual fall festival.

Ellis has a plan: spend her senior fall prepping her application for Columbia, get into their journalism program, and set the foundation for a respectable career. So when her parents announce that not only are they separating, but Ellis has to move with her mom from New York City to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, to live with her aunt and cousin, it couldn’t come at a worse time.

From past summers spent in Connecticut, Ellis knows Bramble Falls is idyllic and charming. But it also seems to be full of distractions. There’s local barista Cooper Barnett, Ellis’s one-time best friend and first kiss who now wants nothing to do with Ellis. And then there’s the Falling Leaves Festival, a local autumnal celebration run by Ellis’s aunt where people from all over come to see Bramble Falls’s beautiful foliage. The house is stuffed with decorations, and every conversation seems to center around the festival.

Dragged to every oh-so-charming event from apple picking to pumpkin carving, Ellis can’t stop bumping into Cooper…or falling for the quaint town and its quirky residents. As her return to Manhattan gets repeatedly delayed, Ellis finds herself caught between two very different places—and the futures they represent.

The town is so cute

3.25⭐️

Let me start by saying that this was a cute fall story. I think that i expect it to love it even though it’s a YA novel since i read tons of YA. Ellis felt incredibly immature throughout the whole book, don’t get me wrong she had some nice moments too but the balance was definitely off. Cooper on the other hand was so bland, to be honest i was rooting for Jake because Jake actually put in the effort. The overall story of the town was lovely though and i really enjoyed that side of the story.
