My Review
It's difficult to always strive for for perfection and then accept that sometimes perfection isn't what we'd originally thought it was. Sometimes perfection is what we didn't see. What we didn't know, perfection is the fallback.
’THE FALLBACK’
Is a full length ‘romance’ novel by author ‘Mariah Dietz’
Twenty nine year old Brooke Jensen is one of the most sought after wedding planners in Chicago, everything is planned down to every minute detail, from the venue, to the flowers, to the menu, ensuring that everything is perfect for the bride to be. arriving home from work early the last thing she didn't plan on seeing was her long time partner entertaining someone else in the bed they brought together, on the expensive sheet set they got for their anniversary, in that very moment being a couple was dwindled down to her becoming newly single.
Not one to dwell on shit she can't fix she moves in with her best friend, her husband and their two kids. It's not the perfect set up, but it is what it is and she makes the most of it.
In the mean time she gets the idea to start up a blog called 'Tales of Being Single' about trying new things and taking risks.
Now we see her making her way as not a couple of six years but as a single successful female who is well over her head when it comes to the dating scene.
She's not ready to put herself up on the singles market just yet, but when cupid lets that arrow go and it pierces Levi all bets are off. It's as though they have known each other their whole lives, everything just slotted into place, until an obstacle comes rearing its head and she can't see a way around it, Levi takes it up a notch, he knows what he wants and he wants Brooke.
This was such an easy book to get lost in, the banter between the two besties made for such a light hearted read, so beautifully written, I'm glad that the cheating from her partner didn't over ride this book, we had no connection to him whatsoever it was solely based on her finding herself and I loved that, I loved seeing her progress, her strength, her blog. I'm so glad I got an opportunity to read this.
* Even though cheating occurred in the very first pages of this book you don't have a chance to connect with his (Brooke's ex's) character so this book is semi safe *
