Reggie and Delilah's Year of Falling

De: Elise Bryant

Narrado por: Preston Butler III, Shayna Small

From the NAACP Image Award–nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, who fall in love through missed connections and chance meetings on holidays over the course of a year. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han, with crossover appeal for readers of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances.

Delilah always keeps her messy, gooey insides hidden behind a wall of shrugs and yeah, whatevers. She goes with the flow—which is how she ends up singing in her friends’ punk band as a favor, even though she’d prefer to hide at the merch table.

Reggie is a D&D Dungeon Master and self-declared Blerd. He spends his free time leading quests and writing essays critiquing the game under a pseudonym, keeping it all under wraps from his disapproving family.

These two, who have practically nothing in common, meet for the first time on New Year’s Eve. And then again on Valentine’s Day. And then again on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s almost like the universe is pushing them together for a reason.

Delilah wishes she were more like Reggie—open about what she likes and who she is, even if it’s not cool. Except . . . it’s all a front. Reggie is just role-playing someone confident. The kind of guy who could be with a girl like Delilah.

As their holiday meetings continue, the two begin to fall for each other. But what happens once they realize they’ve each fallen for a version of the other that doesn’t really exist?

Great story, wrong narrators.

I really enjoyed the story , but the female narrator’s voice was too mature for the character. The male narrator had a put on childish tone that was obnoxious.

Love her books!

I loved this book and all of her others!! I can’t wait to see what she writes next!!😊

I liked it a lot I think you will too

I think the love story between Reggie and Delilah was drawn out a bit too long when they clearly were into each other. They made a very good couple. That’s said I really like the characters.

I did find it interesting because most biracial females seem to always be more attractive to white males, but not in this case

I thought Reggie lying about something so insignificant, when the simple truth would have been an easy path to get the girl of his dreams


I think the part that I would have like the author to dive more into was Delilah’s fears about being a biracial female.

All in all, I think you’re gonna really like this book it is a good lovestory between two young people of color who are proud of it

Such a cute story!

I loved everything about this book, their love story was super cute. I really do think we can use a part two to this. Would love to hear more about Delilah and Reggie.

Awkwardness

I accompany my physical copy with the audiobooks because with such a busy life it’s sometimes necessary to listen. This I stumbled upon this book from the Dollar Tree! Read the back cover and I was hooked.
