Falling
Falling | Jane Green
Eight years ago, Emma Montague left behind the strict confines of her upper-crust English life - and rather dull boyfriend - and moved to New York City, where she immediately found success in the world of finance. But her soulless, cut-throat, all-consuming job has only led to another life she didn't want. Answering an online ad, Emma finds a tiny beach cottage to rent in the small town of Westport, Connecticut. It needs work - lots of work. But it's the perfect project to satisfy Emma's passion for interior design and gardening, if her new landlord, Dominic, is agreeable to the small changes she yearns to make. To Emma, Dominic is also something of a fixer-upper. A local handyman with a six-year-old son, he's a world away from the men she should be interested in, but he's comfortable in his own skin, confident, quiet and kind. Slowly, over a shared garden, time spent with his son and late-night conversations, Emma finds herself falling for Dominic. From friends to lovers happens as naturally as the changing seasons. But laying down roots doesn't come easily when two lives as different as theirs merge into one. And Emma will realize that the seeds of happiness must be nurtured and cherished to grow into something strong enough to shelter all their hopes and dreams . . .

I got these for books for free off a sustainable Facebook page last week. I plan on doing up this little chair sometime this week for my niece and nephew to sit on when they visit.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve last picked up one of Green‘s books and I have to say that I enjoyed this one even more than I expected! It‘s a bit slow to start, but by the end I felt quite emotionally invested in all of the characters!! Looking forward to seeing more from Green in the future!!

Book 6 of August was this absolutely beautiful book. I really don't want to say too much about it as I'd hate to spoil anything but totally didn't expect the ending it has. Can't wait to read more by this author.

*Spoilers* #bittersweetsymphony @Cinfhen After I read Joe Hill's The Fireman, I was in a funk and wanted to read a light "and they lived happily ever after." Jokes on me, because the MC, an ex NYC rat racer, leaves to find happiness in the countryside, falls in love with her soulmate, ONLY to have him die from a hematoma after falling off a roof 20 pgs from the end. But she gets custody of his kid........ bittersweet. Lol

Cinfhen Oh god! Sounds like you got suckered punch 😉I can't read Jane Green or any of those other books anymore- they intentionally mess with your heart 8y
Reggie @cinfhen Yeah, I thought I was safe because of the cover. But you know what they say, right? Lol 8y
Cinfhen Yup, judging books and all 😂don't fall for a pretty cover! 8y

#didntlikeitstillfinishedit because it was a book club pick and it was a very fast read, but it irked me in so so many ways. I've heard her other books are better. Another #didntlikeitstillfinishedit was "ender's game," again short enough to give it a shot but nope, not for me. #marchintoreading

Not for me. 30-something former investment banker with emotional maturity of a 20 year old moves to Connecticut suburbs to pursue interior design dreams. She falls in love with someone of a different class and then has to deal with an unexpected turn. Disliked the protagonist and the writing style. Bleh.

Seriously, this was written in 2016? "George seems gay, not that there's anything wrong with that, and Henry [short for henrietta] seems to be a man. Which is maybe why George wants to marry her." 72% through.

The ugh continues...Emma can't possibly comprehend why 6 year old Jesse, who has been raised solely by his dad from birth is upset after walking in on Emma naked in his father's bed. Gosh, so confusing. Grrr...

I hope this gets better. So far the main character is a spoiled brat, with zero empathy, and the writing style pains me. But it is a book club pick and so I will power through (probably). This is my first Jane Green, so I should give it more than a chapter.

Leelee.reads This book seems terrible! 😆 8y
Centique I'm turned off by "pretty little noses" straight away ?? 8y
Blaire @Leelee.reads @Centique it is not getting better. One minute she has unpacked nothing, not even clothes, the next she is able to make fresh squeezed lemonade for the single landlord's son, as she has miraculously unpacked and has on hand 🍋, sugar, and a pitcher. 8y
Blaire And I like chick lit so this is not a genre snob thing. 8y

It was fine. Not a lot of depth in this one. I finished it because it was an easy read and I have a reading challenge to complete. But there was a whole lotta nothing goin' on. I love Jane Green but this was, umm, just ok.

This is mostly predictable & disappointing. Woman leaves fast paced life in city to find the life she wants in a smaller, slower paced town. Falls in love with a man her family considers unsuitable. There are problems & misunderstandings until everything is good & then it isn't.I was so disappointed by the predictability of the story I almost abandoned it. There is a twist at the end of the book that makes it different but not enough.

AnnieReads I was on the fence about reading this one. Think I'm going to pass. 8y

"Falling" is a lovely, engaging book that is excellent for a rainy afternoon or a day at the pool/beach. Jane Green does an excellent job painting the interior life of her characters.

Even though the protagonist annoyed me with how immaturely and dramatically she approached falling in love, I'd recommend this book. Quick, easy, mindless read. Like an average rom-com. I was surprised by the ending which helped.

Enjoyed this book by Jane Green. Loved the characters. It's refreshing to read about a woman that has had a successful life but realizes she doesn't have to be a ladder climber to be fulfilled.

Not to pile on to my already-not-so-favorable review, but this one deserves an #honestbooktitle for sure. I think I'd rename it something like... "Falling: A Girl Meets Boy Tale on Speed with a Healthy Dose of 'WTF' Along the Way" ? #24in48 #butimclosinginon8 #readathon

Favorite line so far: 'She was perfectly happy building a new life by herself. In fact, the last thing she needed was a man to complicate things. Although, with a couple of drinks under her belt, there was nothing wrong with the tiniest bit of flirting. Was there?'

I wanted to like this one from Jane Green. I've read a couple of her other novels, and they were cute and fluffy. This was not---more like a romance novel that hit the fast forward. The main character jumped from single and embarking on a new life to in a serious relationship in the first 100 pages. Plus, without saying too much, there were some moments in the final twenty pages that had me going "WHAT?!" out loud. This is a skip in my opinion.

Lissa00 I took this with me to the beach last week and had the exact same thoughts. I've not read her others though so I can't compare. 8y
WanderingBookaneer I used to like her when she was writing about England. 8y
ReadingOver50 Such a shame when an author you like doesn't live up to previous books. 8y
asiriusreader @Lissa00 @JaimitaPR @ReadingOver50 so true to all of you...was definitely disappointed. Oh well...onto the next read!! 😊 8y

I liked the characters but the book was more of a romance than I was expecting. Surprise ending and fallout was a little rushed.

I'm sad to report I didn't love this book as a whole. There were some great parts but it ended on such a sudden turn that it felt forced, like Green needed it to end so she chose the easiest way she could. The love story was too rushed and the emotion was wishy-washy.

Overall, this book was average to me. What saved it from being an 'eh' book was the ending. I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did, so I appreciated that. It's good for s quick read. 🔥🔥🔥
