Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Fall" is set at a prestigious boarding school in Canada, where two roommates slowly get to know each other. The two roommates are Julius - a guy who has everything together, is loved by everyone, and has the most beautiful girl on campus (Fallon, aka Fall); and Noel (aka Wink b/c of his lazy eye) - an introverted, quiet guy who doesn't really have any friends and seemingly doesn't care about that, but internally, has a huge crush on Fall, and what seems like a man-crush on Julius. Their relationship as roommates, and later friends, develops throughout the story until Julius's girlfriend Fall goes missing. One of the main things I didn't like about this book is that the point-of-view kept switching between Noel, Julius and William (Julius's ambassador father's driver), and it was confusing at times to figure out who was speaking until mid-way through the chapter. Also, during most of Julius's chapters, the writing was as if someone was actually talking which was completely hard to follow. The first chapter of this book (which I later found out was a Julius chapter) entirely captures what I did NOT like about the book as a whole. Also, after finishing the book, I still have NO idea what the purpose of the William chapters were - they could have been removed from the book and not have made an ounce of difference. Overall, the story itself was decent, but I did not like how it was written...it just wasn't very reader-friendly. I probably would have rated the book a 2.5 if I were allowed to give half stars.
