Let Me Fall by Lily Foster is the fifth book in the
Let Me series. Each book stands alone and Let Me Fall is the story of
Carolyn and Jeremy, secret admirers of each other since grade school and are
reunited in their junior year of high school. Carolyn is the smart, nerdy girl
who helps the struggling Jeremy pass his classes so he can play football. As
the two draw closer, the drama and rumor mill runs wild around the school.
Until one day, tragedy strikes, and Carolyn and Jeremy are torn apart and set
on different plans they ever planned. Three years after high school, Carolyn
and Jeremy start seeing each other around town and the old feelings are still
there. Will they be able to move forward? Will the events of high school come
back to haunt them? Can the past be
forgiven?
Let Me Fall is a young adult book and it is
definitely geared toward that audience. The high school drama, the sexual
exploits and the cattiness between the female characters feels like a teen
drama show. It was a hard read. The action was slowly building with a lot of hints
and rising excitement, only to be let down as the suspense is dragged on
further. The sex scenes and the language were hard to get through; however, I
feel it is probably accurate to the real interaction of teenagers. It was not
my personal experience, but I do know it was the story of others. I loved
Jeremy’s character. I sympathized with his struggles and his self-doubt as he
viewed himself lower than his classmates. Carolyn was hit and miss for me. I
cheered as she recovers from her ordeals than she does and says something that
is so immature like geez, have you learned anything? Overall, I enjoyed the
book. However, it is not a series I will be continuing. I do recommend Let
Me Fall for teen and young adult audiences.
