Review: This is Falling (Falling, #1) by Ginger Scott

4 stars! ****

Title: This is Falling (Falling, #1)

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and sixteen days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put a thousand miles between my future and my past. I’d made a choice—I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn’t know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn’t supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn’t want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn’t.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.

This is a second book I read by Ginger Scott and once again I really enjoyed the book.

Rowe chose college thousand miles away from her home - not because she hates her family, but because there are things that haunt he there. She's ready to move on, she's ready to let go, she's ready to live. And she can't do that back home. She's insecure and has a good reason for it. She'd afraid and a good reason for that too.

Nate is a baseball star, he can *enter some sport terminology* like no one else. Surprisingly he's not a man-whore or a bad boy (guys in books who do some sport are usually at least one of those). He's not only one of the best players, he's also smart and charming.

Those two meet and something pulls them together. Nate helps Rowe break through her shell and finally breathe again. But there are still things in her past that just won't let her go. And she won't let them let her go. She's eaten up with guilt and Nate might just not be enough to heal her.

Caution! Caution! After you reach 80% go hide somewhere and don't read past this point in public. You're be in danger of being asaulted by strong feelings, sadness and invisible ninja cutting onions beneath your eyes.

Rowe's story is both sad and inspirational. She's got such a huge inner strength, but just doesn't really recognize it. Nate helps her with that, he heals most of her wounds and steals her heart in process.

But this isn't only sad story. There are funny parts too. Really fu*king funny. Like I LOLed in public transportation. Not cool. I'm lucky I wasn't arrested for behaving like lunatic. That's how funny it was.

It definitely got me interested in other parts of the series.

P.S. - I know nothing about sports. Especially baseball, softball, american fotball and rugby.
