Fall by Kristen Callihan
I really don’t think my review will do this book any justice so I’ll keep it brief. Fall is Jax/John’s story who is the lead singer of Kill John and if you’ve read the previous books, you’ll recall that he battles with depression and has also attempted suicide. He meets Stella at the grocery store and they fight for the last mint ice-cream only for Stella to get the better of him by stealing both a kiss and the ice-cream. They each have the other at the back of their minds until they come face to face and discover they’re now neighbors.
This was a really beautiful and both heartbreaking and heartwarming story. I fell in love with both Stella and John and while I read much of their story with a smile, there was an equal amount of tears also at the ready. As a reader, I tend to avoid hype but still build up my own personal excitement over an upcoming release and it’s so sad when the book doesn’t live up to what you hope for and expect. I’m not sure how Callihan does it, but the VIP series is such a huge hit for me, with each book exceeding the expectations set by its predecessor. Knowing that the author has put so much of herself and her own experiences in the book give it a different spin and the final product of Fall was perfection. The characters and their story were so raw and honest that my heart broke and healed right along theirs. It was a perfect execution and I take my hat off to the author.
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.
