The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez
5.0
emotional funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

There was no question, no doubt. This is a 5⭐ read, hands down. I never thought I could be so invested in a story so quickly. I never thought I could feel so much from a book that wasn't even 100 pages long. I never thought I could feel so empty after such a short read. But here we are... πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜’😭

By page 20, I was already so deeply rooted in the characters and their story.πŸ’— While this was fast paced, it definitely wasn't rushed. The pacing was so good that I barely noticed it was a short book until we got to the end and I'm like, "NO, WAIT, I WANT MORE!" 

I am IN LOVE with Seth. His humour was impeccable and right up my alley. I am DEVASTATED that he's not real 😭 I also love Charlotte. She was so relatable and endearing, and I want to protect her.πŸ’— I howled together with Charlotte at "Pecker and Pecker" πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚ Gabe and Izzy were awesome and so cute together, I want them to be my BFFs. The old ladies from the retirement home were freaking GOLD. I loved them so so much, bless their hearts! ❀️

The resolution to the issue was resolved in a pretty satisfying way, though I wished it was a bit longer and more descriptive so I could revel in gratification that the creep was gone.😈πŸ’ͺ🏻

This book actually managed to touch on some pretty deep topics. Did it dig all the way in? Of course not, this is a novella. But it touched on enough that it made me pause. It made me think. It made me feel.πŸ₯Ή I've never laughed so much in a romance novella before. While I did wish there was more, upon reflecting, I think this was just the right amount for this story.

This is actually my very first Abby Jimenez book and what a beautiful introduction to her work. I am so excited to read her other books because if this is the quality of her writing, I'm in for an amazing ride πŸ’—β€οΈπŸ©·

To the woman who carried an emotional support bear spray and to the man who promised a fish it would never live in a cup again and quoted tree facts like nobody's business - cheers πŸ₯‚
