Falling in Line by Kasey Stockton
4.0

**** This review is for the audiobook of Falling in Line****

If you like a sweet, small town, second chance romance books then Falling in Line by Kasey Stockton is the book for you. I really enjoyed this book. It gave me all of the feels. I loved Arcadia Creek and all of the lovely characters. This book felt so realistic and I wanted to move there and be a part of this loving community. Falling in Line is book two in the Arcadia Creek series. I didn’t read the first one, but this one can be read as a stand alone. I didn’t feel like I missed anything by not reading book one but I will be going back and reading the first book in the series.

Writing/plot:
This was a quick listen that held my attention. The story line was unique and executed well.

Characters:
June and Tucker were high school sweethearts and about to get married, when June decides to leave Arcadia Creek. She hasn’t been back or kept in touch with her friends or Tucker while being away. Now five years later she is back to help her dad after surgery. I really related to June and enjoyed listening to her inner dialogue. As the story unfolds you start to understand why she left Arcadia Creek.

Tucker is a great MMC and I liked the way he communicated with the other characters in the book including June and Maddie. He is sweet and charming and gives of it’s always been you vibes. He has tried to move on but his thoughts and heart always comes back to June.

This story is told in dual POV which I loved. I loved hearing the inner dialogue and hearing about the thoughts and feelings of each of the main characters.

The side characters are fantastic as well and I look forward to reading their stories in the future.

Narrators:
Cara Swingline and Evan Sibley do a great job bring these characters to life. I really enjoyed them as narrators. 5/5 for narration.

I am usually a spicy romance reader, but I didn’t even miss it in this clean second chance romance.

Thank you NetGalley and Dream Scape Media for an advanced listener copy. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
