I wasn't always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way.
Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.
Colton didn't teach me how to live. He didn't heal the pain. He didn't make it okay. He taught me how to hurt, how to not be okay, and, eventually, how to let go.
***
Nell Hawthorne is in love with her life-long best friend, Kyle Calloway. Their young love is invincible and life is full of promise; then one night Kyle dies suddenly in a tragic accident and Nell is forever changed. She meets Kyle's older brother Colton for the first time at the funeral. They both struggle to move on with life as best they can. Years later, they meet again in New York City, and Colton realizes that Nell has never really gotten over Kyle's death. She seems to be harboring a deeply rooted pain, a heavy weight of guilt and regret. He knows he shouldn't get involved, but he can't help himself. Trust doesn't come easily for either of them, and they both have demons. Together, they learn the purpose of pain and the meaning of healing, and the importance of forgiveness.

Excerpt from Falling Into You
It was just a single sob at first, a quick, hysterical inhalation. Then a second. And then I couldn’t stop it. Tears, a flood of them. I felt the sand grow cold and muddy under my face, felt my body shuddering uncontrollably. He didn’t tell me it was okay. He didn’t try to pull me against him or onto his lap. He kept his hand on my shoulder and sat silent next to me.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop. I’d let go, and now the river would flow un-dammed.
No. No. I shook my head, clenched my teeth, lifted up and let myself fall down hard, sending a spear of pain spiderwebbing out from my arm. The pain was a drug, and I accepted it greedily. It was a dam, stemming the tide of tears….

I really wanted to like this book. I bought all 3 books expecting this was going to be a great series. I finally made the time and dove in to Falling Into You. I must say I was sadly disappointed. The love story between Kyle and Nell was beautiful and what happened to Kyle is tragic. The issue is not that Nell ended up falling in love with Kyle's older brother. I've read another story where the h and H fall in love, but the H is terminal and dies. The h ends up with the older brother. It was well done and ended up in an HEA even though your heart went out to the brother and the h for their loss. I don't know what it was about this book, but I couldn't get into it. I never felt a connection between Colton and Nell. I get Nell fell apart after Kyle died, but what I don't get is she was supposedly so in love with him, they had been best friends before they could speak, and two days after Kyle's death at his funeral, Nell and Colton are having zingers with each other. A couple of years later they meet up in NY and they barely spend 1/2 an evening together when she's professing how much more she feels for Colton then Kyle (not in the sack). She also talked about Kyle during other precarious situations that you should just not bring up about your deceased boyfriend to his alive brother while in the midst of getting intimate. Other reviewers have said it, but there's also lots of cliches that made it too much.Colton has a disability (not physical) and it's described as if it was back in the dark ages and noone realized that it was a real problem and could be treated. His type of disability had been around for a long time and can be diagnosed quickly. Don't mean to rant, however, I'm just really disappointed that the story started out so great and as soon as Colton was introduced I lost interest. I'll try to read the next two in the series since I own them so we'll see how that goes.

Falling Into You The Falling Series Book 1 edition by Jasinda Wilder Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The first part of the book was amazing. I loved Nell and Kyle's innocent, sweet and endearing love and friendship. I knew from reading the synopsis that Kyle would not be a big part of the book. I could have handled her falling in love with Colt and him and her having this great love. My problem with the book was how the author kept comparing Kyle and Colt in all ways. I just could get past that. First off there is no comparison Nell and Kyle were 16 and only with each other had Kyle lived they would have gained more experience and had a stronger love. Colt is much older and obviously has more experience in the love dept. I also hated how she made it like what she has for Kyle was nothing after only knowing Colt for like what two weeks. Kyle was her best friend for 18 years and the author made it like that was nothing compared to her and Colt. I felt like you could have had Nell and Colt have this lasting love without taking away from what she had with her first love Kyle... All in all the story could have been great had the author not done the whole comparison thing.
I really loved this book. The emotion is raw and dragged me in but... **Spoiler Alert**
... the holes in the plot drew me to distraction! Nell and Kyle grew up together, learned to swim and ride bikes together, lived in each other's pockets from day one but Nell didn't know Colton at all when he apparently left home at 17? Nell would have been about 11?! Really?? Who proof read this? Whomever it was should never work in this industry again because this is one of several issues that ruined an otherwise very good story. Argh! I'm so disappointed that these things weren't corrected/amended.... sloppy writing. Sloppy editing. Made this feel like it was churned out for the masses.. maybe Jasinda should focus on her song writing if that is more important to her than her books?
Really could have been better.
3.5 Stars
Falling Into You is a very emotional read. I spent the first part of the book learning about Kyle and Nell. I saw them when their friendship turned into something more and in a split second Kyle was gone. It was heartbreaking and hard for Nell to get through. Colton tried to help in the aftermath, supporting Nell and helped her to unwind, before he left to head back to New York. Two years later they cross paths again and Colton can still see the sadness in Nell. She hadn’t dealt with her loss properly and he wants to help her. They become close and they both face demons from their pasts together.
Nell was a sweet girl, but I could see that she was struggling in life. She found ways to cope, but not all of them were healthy for her. When Colton came into her life he helped her face her issues instead of burying them.
Colton had regrets from his past too. It wasn’t an easy path for him to get to where he was. His history slowly unravelled and I could see that there was more to him than the rebellious teenager that he was. He grew up after a rough start on his own and found his way.
I loved seeing Nell and Colton together. They both used music as an outlet and for Colton it helped him express his feelings. They both grew together and faced some hard times that shattered my heart, but made them stronger together.
I enjoyed every moment of reading Falling Into You. Some hard issues were faced and the characters learned new ways to deal with it together. Listening to the book was splendid too. Both Gabriel Vaughan and Piper Goodeve gave great voice to both Colton and Nell, and I think they made me more emotionally attached to the story. Jasinda Wilder wove the story perfectly… allowing me to connect to the characters and hoping desperately that they would find happiness together. I will definitely read more in this series, because this book is going to stay with me for a long time!
