Can't Help Falling in Love by Sophie Sullivan
4.0
If you're a fall girlie who loves Hallmark movie vibes like me, this book will be right up your alley. It's a wholesome, closed door romance featuring a fake engagement that leads to real dating. I don't always reach for a closed door romance, but even if this story is without the sizzle, it still has some steam.
I related heavily to Lexi as a character who seemingly had everything going for them, but ended up with a job and a life they didn't see coming. Those feelings of wanting to hide from people who knew you then because of where you are now are so real.
Will is the heir apparent to a successful Seattle company, and while he's well off, he is also very down to earth. He falls fast and hard for our plucky waitress. He's also battling against parental expectations while making his own way in the world.
My favorite subplot features Lexi's mom, Gwen as she's trying to process and move through her grief after losing her husband. The relationship between her and Lexi is so precious!
In the words of the author herself, “If #canthelpfalling were songs, it would be a mix of The Alchemy & This is Me Trying.” As a Swiftie myself, I see this as a ringing endorsement!
Thank you to NetGalley, Sophie Sullivan, and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC opportunity.
