This Is Falling

The Falling Series, Book 1

By: Ginger Scott

Narrated by: Melissa Moran

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and 16 days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put 1,000 miles between my future and my past. I'd made a choice - I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn't know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn't supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn't want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn't.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.

Love Overcomes Tragedy.

This was the first book I have read/listened to by Ginger Scott and I really liked the story of Nate and Rowe. I just wish there would have been a Epilogue at the end to tell us how they end up later on in college, but maybe that will be in the next book from Ginger Scott. I was glad that both Nate and Rowe were focused on each other and didn't let any outside people try to break-up their relationship. I really liked how they played jokes on each other too. Too bad they didn't hook up sooner in the story but I guess that's what makes a good book. They had a really good connection between each other.

I would highly recommend this book to others if you want to read about a great love story between two people starting out in college. I hope to see another book by Ginger Scott soon, one was not enough.

Boring and narrator is robotic

Ginger Scott is a random grab bag. Some of her work is amazing and the rest is blah. This one is blah.

The heroine faced a major tragic event in life and I have respect for any person who is healing like she is. I guess it’s just the flat boringness of the story itself.

The narrator takes some getting used to, if that’s even possible.

I’m not sure if I’ll be listening to any other books in this series.

First love is so sweet

Loved the love story . It takes me back in time to those intense emotions.

Really Good

This is a great story about a young girl (Rowe Stanton) who survives a school shooting that takes her best friend and her boyfriend. After two years of hiding from the world she heads to college where she meets baseball star Nate Preeter and begins to resurrect her life. For the first few hours of this audiobook I was totally expecting to be granting a five star rating to this one. Then there were a few scenes featuring Rowe McHypocrite and at that point there was a great deal of teeth grinding, then fast forwarding going on. She throws what we in the mountains call a hissy fit and Nate the whipped pup accepts it all. Which brings me to a point that I just have to make; why is it that all female romance writers make the male leads of these books into wimps or women?
I am more into women than men, but when I'm with a man, I want a man. The frame of reference this author uses seems to be that the guy is always at fault. Then in the last 10 to15% percent of the story Rowe has reason to be upset but then she becomes Whiny Girl for way too long. I can and do understand that PTSD deeply affects people but Rowe's actions don't seem consistent with the diagnosis. Given those weaknesses I still like this book enough to give it four big stars.

To my surprise I extremely enjoyed this series!

Any additional comments?

I am a big fan of murder/mystery books, but once in awhile I like to try something different. So glad I did and chose the Falling Series!! It was sweet, sad and funny all at the same time. My son would hear me laughing to myself in my room and thought I was crazy when I told him it was my book making me laugh. Also had some great, surprising little twists. My sister and her friend and my co-worker are all reading this series now. If you are trying to decide, I would say go for it. Don't think it will be disappointing.
