It was a really good story. Most books I read in 36 hours or less with no breaks. This book seemed to require breaks. I would read 3-4 chapters and feel perfectly content to set it aside for the rest of the day. It wasn't that I didn't care about the story, I did. Just felt like it was a good place to stop and smell the roses and appreciate this book a lot more. The characters are likable and also believable. I never once thought "how cliche" when reading this. It's just a sweet love story with plenty of normal, realistic drama. I definately recommend taking the time to read. Jax has come home to his grandmothers after the death of his brother. They were one of the biggest rock bands in the world for the last decade. But the drugs and fast living took their toll and Jax's bother. When he trilled to kill himself , he was put in his grandmothers care after his stink in rehab. What Jax learns is that he never had control of his own life and his brother had spent the last 10 years telling him how to live. He is finally learning to live his own life. In the steps to sobriety Jax begins running and everyday runs past the most gorgeous women he has ever seen. When he finally gets up the nerve to wave, he crashes to the ground right at her feet. Lacey can't believe this runner has just fallen face first at her feet or the mess he has made of himself. She invites him in to her bakery so she can help patch him up. Jax wants nothing more than Lacey, it is that simple for him from this moment on. Lacey cannot believe this gorgeous man wants to get to know her. Their relationship starts slowly, Jax is unsure how to have a relationship and Lacey is very cautious after her chaotic life. This book has a whole cast of old rockers, dirty talking grannies, and some "oh no you didn't moments" I felt about three quarters of the way, the story floundered a bit , but it pulls out in the end. Not sure what a second book would be but actually not interested in reading her best friends story if that's it.
What do You think about Everybody Falls (2013)?
Three stars instead of two for the pretty heart-wrenching end part. (It ends happily, FYI)
