The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez
2.0

The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez

I... did not like this book.

It’s short, sweet, and to the point, which was exactly what I needed from a quick audiobook to fill a two-hour window. However, there are just some things in here that toe so far past suspended disbelief and straight into full-blown ridiculous territory.

The cute little tree puns and the humor? Great. I liked the general vibe of the story.

But my deeply rooted internal cynicism just could not get past the multiple instances of "falling in love with for a while" and "anything you want" coming from a guy who met this girl literally THREE DAYS AGO and doesn’t even really know her.

Falling for someone? Sure.

Being interested in being a provider? A little soon for that, but fine.

But falling in LOVE? For a while?? Sir. Be so serious right now. 

Where exactly does “for a while” come into play here? Was that hour two or hour seventy-two? Help me out.

Anyway. Not bad. It filled the time. But I’m frustrated enough that this review is now bordering on being longer than the entire 88-page book. Soooo… yeah.
