I always turn to YA contemporaries when I'm going through a book slump and it's a genre that has rarely disappointed me. The Edge of Falling was a book I immediately requested on reading the first few lines of the summary. Books with teenagers learning to overcome grief appeal to me for some reason, but The Edge of Falling turned out to be such a disappointment.At the start of the book, Caggie is struggling with the grief of having lost her sister. She's no longer the same person that she was an...
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: The Edge of Falling is a heartwarming story about loss, guilt, and redemption. The beginning is really slow, but the ending more than makes up for it.Opening Sentence: Most great works of literature have a hero at their core, but this story is an exception.The Review:It is the beginning of Mcalister Caulfield’s, or better known as Caggie, senior year of high school and things aren’t going how she planned. Nothing has been quite the same since he...
wowHeart breaking. Real. I can’t stop crying. This book and these characters touched my heart and soul. Loved it. Dont miss
Caggie lives every day haunted by her failure to save her little sister from drowning. Even though no one ever says it, Caggie knows that her parents blame her just as much as she blames herself. Everyone at school thinks she's a hero after saving a classmate from plummeting to her death at the beginning of summer, but only Caggie - and the girl she saved - knows what really happened on the rooftop ledge. Caggie has formed a wall of secrets and lies to keep everyone at arm's length, including he...
2.5 stars for me - this was a less-than-stellar read but we made it through 😆
The book had me sucked in from the beginning. Loved the story. I kinda wish there was more into their relationship. Felt like the book was kinda rushed. Overall a good easy read.
The Edge of FallingBeing an average high school girl having to deal with studies, homework, and romance is pretty tough. Being a high school girl trying to cope with the guilt of losing her sister, or being in your mind falsely accused of rescuing someone. That is almost unbelievable. Do you want to read about the epic struggles of a girl coping with guilt and grief, and how she survives? If you do The Edge of Falling by Rebecca Serle, a coexistence, romance book is the book you want. It is the
Not great. The premise, and general framework of the story is an interesting one, but the story is marred by strange references (characters named Jeff Bridges who "looks like the actor", but another named Abigail Adams with no acknowledgment of the namesake),and vague references (Catcher in the Rye throw-backs that only Salinger lovers will know). And the major twists of the plot are revealed by Chapter two, but we are supposed to slog thru the rest of the book to be told the same thing. Descrip...
I was actually surprised how much I liked this book. It was a fast read too, and it was really good!!!
Well, this was certainly less rage-inducing than When You Were Mine, but it's just...blah. There's so much potential here for a real exploration of grief and mourning and guilt, and instead we focus primarily on a love triangle. Snore. I'm not sure I even want to spend the time it would take to write a full review.Sigh. Here we go. When the novel opens, McCallister "Caggie" Caulfield is dealing with the aftermath of a couple of traumatic situations: at a classmate's end of the year party, she sa...
2.5 I wanted to read The Edge of Falling because I love a good contemporary and this has all of the ingredients Guilt over being on watch when her sister drowned, the saving of a suicide that's not all it seems, and a mysterious boy with a past that sounds dark. So, I was glad to grab it when it was available for review on Edelweiss. I got right into the story, liking Caggie's voice and learning about the important things in her life. But can we talk about the nickname? Points for originality, b...
