Falling (Fall and Rise Duet Book 1), written by Wendy Smith

Welcome to the dizzying, rollercoaster world of Falling, the first installment in the Fall and Rise Duet by the intriguing Wendy Smith. Hold onto your coffee, because we're diving straight into a tale where love is as precarious as a tightrope walker on a windy day.

Our story revolves around Mia, a young woman who finds herself in a bit of a pickle-between crushing on a guy named Jake and dealing with her only slightly dysfunctional family. It's not a rom-com unless there's at least one family dinner that goes horribly wrong, am I right? Cue the unnecessary drama!

Mia and Jake's relationship is the classic case of "it's complicated." They share undeniable chemistry (think fireworks and hearts popping like balloons!), but Mia is wrestling some serious emotional baggage that would make a pack mule sweat. Pro tip: If you're going to fall for someone, it's best not to do it when you're already on shaky emotional ground!

The plot thickens (like a good gravy) when both characters have to confront their past traumas-the dark secrets that make for excellent dinner conversation, but not so great for actual dinners. And speaking of secrets, just wait until Mia's hidden truths come tumbling out like a bag of marbles down a staircase. Let's just say, the climax of their personal growth is a bit like a soap opera, complete with gasp-worthy moments.

As the story unfolds, there are swoon-worthy moments of connection and more misunderstandings than you can shake a stick at. You might want to get comfortable (maybe grab a snack), because these two definitely take their sweet time figuring it all out!

Now, as we inch toward what is sometimes known as the 'end' (spoiler alert: it's not an ending, but rather a "to be continued"), prepare yourself for a cliffhanger that will leave you questioning everything-like whether you should pick up the next installment or just binge-watch your favorite series instead!

In summary, Falling is about navigating love, family issues, and enough emotional turmoil to fill a therapist's office. If you're looking for a mix of heart-tugging moments and ample drama, this book is your ultimate guilty pleasure. Enjoy the ride, and remember: sometimes, to rise, you gotta fall...literally and metaphorically. Happy reading!
