My Review
This was the first novel I’ve read by Amber Garza and won’t be the last. Falling To
Pieces is a sweet story of how one little white lie can change the way people
think about you or someone you care about.
It was a harmless lie at first, only one meant to protect, not to harm,
but for Asher and Ivy, the consequences of what transpired could ruin their
relationship before it even has a chance to begin.
I liked Ivy
and Asher. They were just your average every day young adults trying to find
their way in the world. I say young adult, but to me anyone under 30 is young
adult. They were college age and they weren’t perfect, they weren’t special and
they had their share of problems just like most young people have. They were
just two young people who happened to live in the town right next to the one I
live in, so I really enjoyed reading about some of the places and settings. Places
and settings that I sometimes take for granted. It was nice of Amber to remind
me what wonderful little towns there are around here.
The relationship
between Asher and his mother wasn’t the greatest, but I suppose that was
because of the lie. Asher had been away at college and was home for the summer,
visiting his mom and brother, and that was part of the story that kept it real,
the fact that she loved him and wanted what she thought was best for her son, and
of course, he didn’t see it that way.
Amber knows
how to keep the suspense flowing because we really don’t know what the lie is
or why until very close to the end, which kept me turning the page because all
the while, the story leading up to it is great. Falling To Pieces is a sweet
contemporary love story with a touch of unfortunate realism that makes it very
heartfelt.
