Falling Into You by Jasinda Wilder; A Review

Falling Into You
by Jasinda Wilder
Published: March 16th

SYNOPSIS:

I wasn't always in love with
Colton Calloway; I was in love
with his younger brother, Kyle,
first. Kyle was my first one true
love, my first in every way.
Then, one stormy August night,
he died, and the person I was
died with him.
Colton didn't teach me how to
live. He didn't heal the pain. He
didn't make it okay. He taught
me how to hurt, how to not be
okay, and, eventually, how to let
go.


MY THOUGHTS

This is the very first Wilder book that I read. I regret nothing!

If you're in love, this book is for you.
If you're happy, shut it. This will make turn you into an ugly mess!

A story of falling in love...
Heartbreak...
Letting go...
And falling in love again.

Reminder:
You have to prepare lots of tissues and water on your bedside table.

To be honest, I thought this was another "against all odds" new adult novel. The literary genre,nowadays, has been dominated by fairytale love stories and rock n roll swoon worthy guys. I never thought this would affect me so much, like hell!

When I started reading the book, I didn't even read the synopsis. I just picked this as recommended by a friend in Goodreads. I was hesitant but after reading the first few pages, I couldn't get away. I didn't want to put this down! Duh, how could I? There's a damn hot guy here named Kyle! He's just... Perfect! Hell yeah! Really perfect!

The beginning was a so-so to me. But as I turned pages, the development of the story was really catching. The characters were well-defined. The situation- building made want to stop what I was doing and continue devouring the book.

The storyteller, Nell, was a strong character to me. She knew what she wanted and not afraid to go for it. Nice girl! Though, I felt that there's a lot of similarities between her and the other girl characters in the field of NA literature. But that doesn't mean I'll stop loving the book!

Okay, I don't even want to talk about the story anymore. I've been dreading this one. I kept stalling because this novel is a shit! Yeah dude! The story was too good that it brought out torrents of emotions from yours truly. Honestly, I am the kind of reader who doesn't let anything get under my skin. I was on trauma after reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Before I die by Jenny Downham. FIY by Jasinda wrecked me. I am soooo numb. Or, I wanted to be.

What am I talking about? Oh,man. Just read the book and you'll see!

This book made me fall in love. This book made me a mess.

I kept on weeping when the story came to that turning point. As much as I wanted to finish the story, I couldn't because my vision was blurry with tears. I sobbed. I hiccupped. I cried. Worse? I wasn't even halfway through it! I couldn't stand the idea of losing someone who mean the world to me. It was a torture for me to get back into reading. Every now and then,I grabbed my hanky and wiped the stupid tears. I thought I was going to break!

As I went through, I got attached to Nell. Felt her pain. Felt the sorrow. Heard her silent grieving. It was so beautiful that I could see the scenes in my head.

Then, came Colton. I liked him. But not as much as I loved Kyle.

Jasinda succeeded in defining her characters. The differences and similarities were clearly defined, in whom we all could relate to. The structure of the sentences was good. The reading experience was too dramatic that I had a clear picture of how it would become in the big screen. It was like watching a movie. Seriously.

And...


Lots of hotness overload! *fanning myself

Until the last pages of the story, surprises kept on slapping me in the face. Revelations. Drama. Love. All in.



Jasinda combined all the elements in writing and voila! A masterpiece she has created! Without a doubt, I will keep on reading her works. I am Wilder's fan now! Wounded is on my TBR list, just so you know. :)

Am I recommending this?

YES! Absolutely. Just remember to take a hanky with you and iced cold water. Maybe a cold shower after? :)

With this, I'm giving Falling into You 5 out of 5 shining stars!

*i moved on, okay? -sobs

Maybe, not.
