To want what you’re not supposed to have…
She is only nineteen.
She is his new stepfather’s daughter.
She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last
three years taking care of her sick mother.
But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only
thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his
mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he
has never been told no.
Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her
mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling
beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle
change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy
stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to
Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting
under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never
be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never
uncover but even knowing all of that…
Blaire just may have fallen too far.
(synopsis taken from Goodreads)
Oh holy hawtness. I think I may have FALLEN TOO FAR. In love
with this book that is. Abbi Glines gives us something that is bound to shake
you, heck I just finished it and I’m still in awe (and possibly crying). The
level and depth of emotion is this book is nearly palpable, it’s so real.
Glines takes New Adult and her writing to a whole new level. As a reader who
has read and loved every single one of her novels, this is my new favorite.
Blaire is a nineteen year old girl who hasn’t had a
cake-walk. In all honesty, as a nineteen year old myself, I admire the heck
outta her. She takes strength to a new level. She’s so innocent, something pure
yet she knows about the not so great things in life. How sometimes, things are
taken from us for no reason. Rush, oh Rush. I have a new book boyfriend, whom I
shall cherish forever. At first I’ll be honest, I thought he was a royal prick.
Really, who can just be so cold to someone for no reason? But. When things
start to change I quickly found myself falling in love with him, the cool way
he handles thing, and who wouldn’t be drawn to the secrets behind those
mysterious silver eyes?
“Inside I knew he was meant to be the guy that taught me
about life.”
I’m also a big fan of Grant. I found myself wanting to
tackle-hug him in the beginning. Knight in shining armor much? Okay, so good
guys are refreshing! I also loved Jimmy, and Bethy, though at some points I
wanted to slap some sense into her. As for Woods well, that remains to be seen.
The characters are enchanting, they feel like friends even after the last page
has been turned.
This book has it all. It explains in essence, what first
love or puppy love is really like. One moment it’s there and then it’s not. We
all have someone who maybe we crushed on hard-core in middle school, or that
seemingly perfect homecoming date. I love how Glines described that perfectly
with Blaire and Cain, it’s so realistic and true.
I loved every moment of this book. I smiled, got angry,
cried, bawled, and loved with Blaire and the others. It’s a story that readers
(17+ preferably) can really connect to. It brings another new winning title to
the New Adult genre many of us are championing. I was hanging on to every line
like it was chocolate (and it totally was, perhaps a bit better ;) ). There are
many surprises in FALLEN TOO FAR that I didn’t expect, those twists and turns
that every reader loves when they can’t predict them. In the end, I’m left
breathless and knowing this:
“I had fallen too far.”
