My heart. This book was such a beautifully heartbreaking story of two broken characters that find strength within one another. Two broken characters that find their 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳.

Austin Carillo from the wrong side of the tracks, and Lexington Hart the girl with the fake smile and laughs. These two characters couldn't have been more different, yet it was their differences that drew them together. And what a beautiful story it made to read.

“𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘗𝘪𝘹𝘪𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘮.”

This is one emotional and heartwrenching story, that quite literally broke my heart. However it was the beautifully written words of Tillie Cole, who told these two amazing characters stories that put it back together. To read the battles of Lexi, and Austin were so hard. But it was reading this raw and real story that made their triumph empowering, sweet and so damn worth every tear dropped.

“𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘶𝘱. 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.”

Sweet Fall by Tillie Cole is not your typical NA sports romance. This story sheds light on very real situations for - sadly - so many people. It has opened my eyes to more than an amazingly written romance and phenomenal author. It has truly opened my eyes to real life situations, struggles and disorders. I beyond highly reccomend this novel and series to all. It has become one of my absolute favourite NA SR and would happily re read in the near future.
