Publisher's summary

I wasn't always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way. Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.

Colton didn't teach me how to live. He didn't heal the pain. He didn't make it okay. He taught me how to hurt, how to not be okay, and, eventually, how to let go.

Nell Hawthorne is in love with her life-long best friend, Kyle Calloway. Their young love is invincible and life is full of promise; then one night Kyle dies suddenly in a tragic accident and Nell is forever changed. She meets Kyle's older brother, Colton, for the first time at the funeral. They both struggle to move on with life as best they can. Years later, they meet again in New York City, and Colton realizes that Nell has never really gotten over Kyle's death. She seems to be harboring a deeply rooted pain, a heavy weight of guilt, and regret. He knows he shouldn't get involved, but he can't help himself. Trust doesn't come easily for either of them, and they both have demons. Together, they learn the purpose of pain and the meaning of healing, and the importance of forgiveness.

Tear jerker!!!!

Any additional comments?

Very emotional book! Well written and enjoyed both narrators. Love the song at the end. Whose the artist?

Be ready for tears...

Oh man. This book was full of emotional turmoil. I’m not sure I can handle finishing the series, but I did love it. Also, a perk to the audiobook: you get to hear Colton’s song “falling into you”... only listen if you are prepared to cry your eyes out.

Good Listen

Would you listen to Falling into You again? Why?

No, I think once was enough. Good, but not good enough to listen to again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Falling into You?

Jasinda Wilder put so many memorable moments into this book. Her writing is so emotionally detailed.

What does Gabriel Vaughan and Piper Goodeve bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Pure emotion. Some of the other reviewers said that Gabriel Vaughan was not a good fit for this book, but I thought he was AWESOME! I loved when it was his turn! Piper Goodeve was also very good too!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but only because of all the good reviews. Maybe my expectations were way to high, and it only disappointed me in the end. Don't get me wrong, it was a good book. I read several reviews that said have tissues! I didn't cry at all. It was VERY sad, but I guess it didn't hit me like it did some of the others. If you want an emotional book, Hopeless by Colleen Hoover was really good. I can say if there were to be a second book to this, I don't think I would listen:(

Any additional comments?

All in all, I would say it's worth a credit!

Loved It!

I didn't want it to end! LOVED the song at the very end. Want More!

Depressing and Juvenile

The first part of this book, which seemed to go on endlessly, felt like a young adult novel. The rest seemed cliche and contrived. Not one of this author's better efforts.

Touching

I loved this book! I cried several times and was rooting for healing and wanted more even at the end

Heartbreaking

His was an emotional, heartbreaking story of a first love, loss, and new love found. A truly well written love story that was not easy and will gut you.

Omg

This was such a great story. I was either in love, in tears, or simply stunned. Can't wait to keep going in the series.

Tissues times 2!!!

I never cried listening a book before and I was listening at work and had to stop doing my work and find tissues. I felt every thing that Nell felt. She was my hero...TRUST ME its a must BUY and relisten.

Wanting more!!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Make it longer! Loved it and didn't want it to end. Great story full of tragedy and love overcoming the pain that follows. Characters were well written and realistic. A must read and re-read!

What other book might you compare Falling into You to and why?

I did notice some similarities between this book and the Edge of Never. Both amazing however, the characters were just so much alike, only having slightly different background stories.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Gabriel Vaughan and Piper Goodeve ?

Gabriel Vaughan sounded like a computer most of the time. He was horrible at doing different voices. I dreaded when it was his turn to narrate. Not the voice I would have picked for Colton. Dan Bittner would have made a better Colton. He has more of a sexy, confident voice, perfect for a this novel's leading man. Piper Goodeve was awesome. Loved her voice and thought she was a great Nell.

Could you see Falling into You being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes!!! Not sure for which actors though...new talent would be best I think.

Any additional comments?

I love how the book is divided into segments of Nell's and Colton's points of views; however, I wish the audio book had used both narrators throughout the entire novel. It would have made the segments with Colton's point of view better if Piper was still doing Nell's voice and vice versa.
