Review: Before I Fall by Jessica Scott @jessicascott09





Before I Fall (Falling #1)

Stay focused. Get a job. Save her father's life.

Beth Lamont knows far too much about the harsh realities of life her gilded classmates have only read about in class. She'll do whatever it takes to take care of her father, even if that means tutoring a guy like Noah - a guy who represents everything she hates about the war, soldiers and what the Army has done to her family.

Noah Warren doesn't know how to be a student. All he knows is war. But he's going to college now to fulfill a promise and he doesn't break his promises. Except he doesn't count on his tutor being drop dead gorgeous and distracting as hell. One look at Beth threatens to unravel the careful lies Noah has constructed around him.

A simple arrangement turns into something neither of them can deny. And a war that neither of them can forget could destroy them both.


Review by Wendy Book Obsessed 
* * ARC received on behalf of obsessed by books for an honest review * *
this book was very touching, it showed just a glimpse of what could be in a soldiers life when they are home for good, they have to learn how to live. Beth is the other surviving from war, she may not have been the the fight line, but she's fighting to keep the ones that suffer here alive and it's not easy to care for a farther that's a vet thst hurts everyday and checks out occasionally, but Beth is doing what she can.
Noah has been home for 6 mos. and learning to adjust to normal, which will never be but he chooses to make a better life for himself and if he finds love along the way a bonus. Beth and Noah meet when Beth agrees to tutor Noah in stats and they form a friendship that shortly turns romantic. Noah tries to be the rock Beth needs, but soon realizes that he still needs to work on the past. this two are explosive. Beth is a very strong person even in moments of weaknesses she pushes through to see the good. This was a great story of love, and healing. definitely a must read. 5 out of 5.
