So when Ruby suggests they have a summer fling that includes all the cliches and big gestures we see in the movies. When Ruby comes along, it’s hard to resist the attraction and feelings she has for this girl. The last thing she’s thinking of is a new relationship. On top of that her relationship ended and that meant she lost her best friend as well, her father is getting remarried and deciding what she wants to do with her life is almost too much for her to handle. Her mother has early-onset dementia and she’s recently come to the conclusion that she doesn’t have what it takes to take care of her. Our main character Saoirse has a lot going on. Ciara Smyth really balanced this well and her writing had me hooked.

This book is the perfect combination of a lighthearted summer love story and a book that hits you in all the feels. She fit the story well and kept me listening. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator.

The Falling in Love Montage takes place in Ireland and I loved reading a book outside of the countries a lot of YA take place in. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters actually fall in love… for real. Unbothered by Saoirse’s no-relationships rulebook, Ruby proposes a loophole: They don’t need true love to have one summer of fun, complete with every cliché, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream up-and a binding agreement to end their romance come fall. For a girl with one blue freckle, an irresistible sense of mischief, and a passion for rom-coms. She doesn’t see the point in igniting any romantic sparks if she’s bound to burn out.īut after a chance encounter at an end-of-term house party, Saoirse is about to break her own rules. A condition that Saoirse may one day turn out to have inherited. If they were real, her mother would still be able to remember her name and not in a care home with early onset dementia. Saoirse doesn’t believe in love at first sight or happy endings.

Keep on reading for my thoughts on The Falling in Love Montage! I’m really happy I picked this one up and want to talk about this book today. What can I say, I love the grand gestures and the happily ever afters! The Falling in Love Montage seemed like a book I just needed to read for that reason. Besides being a big fan of contemporary books, I love watching romantic comedies.
