After losing his leg in a terrible car accident, Jonas Avery can’t wait to start over and go to college. Brennan Davis would like nothing more than to stay home and go to school, so she can keep her anxiety in check. When the two accidentally meet the summer before they move away, they’ll push each other to come to terms with what’s holding them back, even as they’re pulled closer to taking the biggest leap of all—falling in love. The Opposite of Falling Apart has more than 2.1 million reads on Wattpad.
My Thoughts:
I picked up this book, and tried to read it multiple times. I loved the premise and the idea behind the story, but struggled with the execution of the plot. Unfortunately, this story just wasn't for me, so it was a DNF. Why I struggled:
*The pacing was extremely slow
*The characters were inside their heads too much, and I felt like there wasn't enough actually happening to move the story along at a better pace
*There were too many details about mundane things, which contributed to to the slow pace of the plot.
I don't like to DNF books, but my mind kept drifting, and I struggled to focus on this story, because I was bored.
DNF-No Rating
