4.5 stars.
What a fantastic debut! Falling is a seriously fast-paced thriller that had me on the edge of my seat by page 2. There is so much packed into this novel and I had a fantastic time reading it. Newman's writing is accessible and atmospheric. The prose moves incredibly smoothly and each page packs a ton of information with a punch.
I do not recommend reading this book when you are planning a trip or while you are on a flight. The writing and set up is incredibly realistic (not terribly surprising since Newman is a flight attendant) and I can absolutely envision it creating a strong sense of paranoia and anxiety.
The characters in this book are incredibly vivid and well-developed. There are a few characters who have personality traits that don't quite fit, but overall things felt realistic and believable.
There are some great twists and turns and some incredibly intense moments that unfold with masterful precision. I had a great time with this read and really enjoyed it. I could have done without the epilogue, but I find that's often the case for me in thriller reads, so that's more of a personal preference.
Recommend? Absolutely.
