Summary:
Nothing good happens when people keep secrets.
Paige Bryant’s dreams of becoming a professional ballerina died along with her mother. Downing in grief and plagued by guilt, Paige is blindsided by a provision in her mother’s will that sends her to live with the father she never knew. Forced to start over in a new town and at a new school where she’s now the principal’s daughter, Paige is convinced that her life can’t possible get any more complicated—until fate throws her into the path of the only boy her guardian tells her is off-limits.
Despite two years on the straight and narrow, Cade Matthews can’t escape time as a juvenal delinquent. With his dad behind bars, Cade’s feelings of anger and betrayal are as relentless as the rumors he’s trying to outrun. The only person not listening to the gossip is the new girl with her own set of troubles, including a father that will never give Cade a fair shake.
As Paige tries to adjust to her new life and an uncertain future, a set of unopened journals reveals a dark family secret. When tensions rise to a boiling point, can Paige and Cade make peace with the past before it destroys them?
My Review:
Kelli Warner writes with a voice that instantly pulled me into the story. Paige and Cade are both such relatable characters, with a mountain of problems we all have to face at some point in our lives. The Moment We Fell is an engaging story with well-executed plot twists and details that surprise the reader.
For me, the chemistry between Cade and Paige was a little rushed, like the author wanted them to fall in love as quickly as possible. So it took me a while to really believe in their bond. But once I did, I wanted to see them stay together, despite everything that happens.
The ending was explosive and wild, and really drew me in. All of the secrets, all the lies that were passed between Paige and her father made for a gripping end as everything comes out into the open.
Overall, I really enjoyed The Moment We Fell, especially how relatable and real the characters were.
I rate it: 4 stars
Kelli Warner writes humorous and relatable young adult and contemporary romance novels, the kind of stories that get your insides so wound up in an ooey gooey mess that you forget the un-fun stuff in life. She’s passionate for a good cup of coffee (even a bad one on a desperate day), enjoying time with friends and family, and spending lazy Saturday mornings watching the Food Network. Kelli and her husband live in Oregon with their two teenaged children and an outstanding border collie named Lucy.
