Review Detail

Falling Like Leaves was an undeniably cute coming of age, young adult romance.

This book was 100% fall vibes. Misty Wilson does a fabulous job transporting the reader to Bramble Falls in the autumn. Regardless of the time of year you read it, you'll be immersed in the feel of crisp weather, pumpkins, and all the smells. The story is full of apple-picking, festival prep, and quirky residents that gave the story such a warm, atmospheric glow.

Falling Like Leaves is a true coming of age story about learning to forge your own path. Ellis has such an emotional journey. A good portion of the story, I found her selfish and disrespectful. I know she was written this way for a reason, and it does work out in the end. Her growth was very much needed for the plot to work perfectly.
I love, love, loved Cooper! He was so sweet. The push and pull between him and Ellis had me hooked. I had stomach dropping and heart racing moments right along with them.
I really liked the fact that Wilson didn't rush right into the romance between Cooper & Ellis. She instead gave the character the opportunity to let their relationship somewhat heal and deepen, making the moments when it happens feel genuine. Honestly, Falling Like Leaves has everything you'd want in a seasonal Second Change Romance.

​This is a perfect read for anyone craving a charming, well-paced romance that delivers on its promise of a truly sweet and satisfying journey. Falling Like Leaves is a delightful and emotional autumn read that I’d recommend to anyone who loves second-chance romance and small-town charm.
