Review of Before We Fell by Stacey Lynn
Lauren is indeed, a special teacher, a special person. I love how much she bonds with Riley, and how she's the first person who brings Riley out of her shell. Really, she is the best part of Before We Fell. Well, she and Riley. Noah, on the other hand, I could not stand, and is the reason for the 3.5 stars. He was, honestly, a complete asshole. The way he treated Lauren in the beginning, and after they fell apart, was horrible, and Lauren (and Riley) deserved so much better. If Lauren had been paired with a better man, someone worthy of her love, then this would have been a 5-star read because it's beautifully emotional (I cried more than a few tears) and the writing is superb. But, the way Noah behaves, and the pain he put Lauren and Riley through, all because he was such an ass, just made it so I couldn't give it more than 3.5 stars. I'll round up to 4 for the official rating, but Noah's such a terrible character that this probably deserves 3 stars or less. I just could not get past what a jerk he is, and then Lauren takes him back with the bare minimum of apology on his part. If I'd been her, he'd be kissing my ass, giving me a million orgasms, and then I'd walk away from his ass, because he really didn't deserve her to take him back after he ghosted her.
