Kirkus Reviews-An involving tale of love and redemption that will satisfy discerning fans of the new-adult genre.
What was your Senior Superlative?
Most likely to succeed,
Most likely to win an Olympic gold,
Most likely to snag a billionaire?
Me? If the administration at Westerly High would have allowed the student body free rein, full creative control, I would have been voted
Most likely to turn tricks for a living,
Most likely to screw you over,
or…
Most likely to—hopefully—die a slow and painful death.
In the weeks leading up to graduation, I was the single-most hated member of my senior class. I was the girl who had driven the school’s golden boy to his demise. I was the girl who’d done something sordid and shameful. Exposed in a cruel and very public way, I was the girl who got what she deserved.
I’m Carolyn. This is my story, and believe it or not, there’s a happy ending—even for someone like me.
Let Me Fall is the latest New Adult Romance in Lily Foster's Let Me series

Let Me Fall edition by Lily Foster Literature Fiction eBooks
Carolyn Harris, straight-A senior, early acceptance to Yale, wealthy, volleyball player, private tutor, daughter, sister, popular, good girl, perfect. Jeremy Rivers, football player, dyslexic, middle-class, bad-boy. Caroline has a boyfriend, Drew, the most popular boy in their class and even though he's planning their future she knows he's not 'the one'. She feels more for the boy that she tutors, the boy she's dreamed of since the 5th grade, Jeremy. But that's not the only secret Caroline's hiding. She's not perfect, she's not the golden girl everyone sees her as. Then suddenly her world came crashing down around her. Overnight she became the most hated girl in her high school and on every inch of social media, labeled a murdering slut. She embraced every hurtful hateful word until she broke. Distancing herself from her family, her few true friends, and Jeremy, Caroline loses all hope, loses herself. This wasn't how Caroline's life was supposed to be. It's a long road back to happy but Caroline might get there.This is the first book I have read from Lily Foster. I loved it. Let Me Fall is one of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. I do not feel as if I missed anything by not reading the earlier books. This is a dark coming of age story. It's a story of image, trust, and tragedy. We all label others for right or wrong. Too many care about how other's see them more than they should and protect their image at their own expense. Trust is hard. When we don't trust others we stay silent when we shouldn't. We isolate. Carolyn was guilty of both of these human faults and it led to her downfall and breakdown. She felt shame for an act against her, she cared too much for her reputation. She didn't trust the people who loved her to take care of her. These are the sins of youth. Jeremy didn't share Caroline's same burdens. His faults made him an easy target. His dyslexia made others think that he was stupid. Far from the truth. His frustration caused anger, violent outbursts. He became the delinquent in other's eyes. He was one of the lucky ones and caring people intervened for him. But he was human too. He kept secrets for others that hurt Caroline. He didn't have to betray one friend for another but he isolated Caroline with a lack of thoughtfulness to her feelings. He gave in to women for sex when he shouldn't have. I'm all for fun sex but never if you are using another or feeling used yourself. Jeremy was a better man when he was only a friend. When sex or attraction became involved he made some awful judgment calls. Still, Caroline and Jeremy had a connection that few ever find. The way they kept finding their way back to one another, the way neither could forget the other or move on, the bond that never disappeared. Special.
This book is so character driven. There's plenty of action, plenty of drama and angst but it all centers around the characters. Caroline and Jeremy, their high school friends, families. Each person is complex and multi-layered. It goes back to image, People are so much more than they appear. The pretty girl might be ugly on the inside, the perfect guy might be hiding crippling anxiety, the promiscuous girl may not be so at all or may be acting a certain way out of insecurity, the handsome boy might be dangerous. Never assume you know anything about another. Don't make hasty judgments. Growing up is hard, don't make it harder, and don't lose your chance to grow up altogether. This book nicely captures the pain of growing up and making the worst mistakes possible and then fighting through them to come out on the other side and have a chance at happiness. Well done drama!

Let Me Fall edition by Lily Foster Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Carolyn Harris’s and Jeremy River’s lives are about to change when they discover in high school that they have had a crush on each other since sixth grade. Their so-called friends who believe that an Ivy-League potential and a bad-boy dyslexic are no match make it a point to vocalize their displeasure at every opportunity. Carolyn understands dyslexia more than Jeremy knows because of her dyslexic brother. Her research on the subject makes her the perfect tutor for Jeremy, who is failing in school. It is during their study sessions that a romance begins to brew but is short-lived because of a blackmail scheme that not only turns lethal but also pressures Carolyn to terminate her relationship with Jeremy.
Foster’s latest novel—book five of six in the Let Me series—is quite a page-turner. A well-written plot that utilizes various driving literary tools to keep audiences on edge until the very end, Let Me Fall features alternating first-person narratives between Carolyn and Jeremy, Foster’s protagonists. The constant scene shifting provides viewers with an intimate look into the lives of her principal cast. Amid the scenes, Foster underpins her plot with nitty-gritty details, including an incessant (and most often depressing) flow of relational, romantic, and sexual tension. This “flow”—as irritating as it may seem at times—is the punch that provides verisimilitude among ALL her characters, particularly the nasty and downright annoying foils used to develop Carolyn’s and Jeremy’s personas. Let Me Fall closes on the type of cliffhanger that will have Foster fans waiting with bated breath for the final installment in this gripping series.
You'll need a box of tissues and a bottle of wine to read this book. While the story of Carolyn and Jeremy starts off a little slow, its intensity picks up by leaps and bounds as the book goes on. Part YA novel, part adults-only romance, Lily Foster has a way with words and a grasp on love. I found this book addictive once the story picked up, about a quarter of the way through. It kept me up until 4 am one night.
Ladies, if you're in need of an amazing love story, this is the book for you. It's the best thing I've read in a year, and I've read some great books this past year.
This was a really good, fast, and enjoyable read, I was eager to find out what happened to the characters next. I found the protagonists Carolyn and Jeremy were well-rounded, if Jeremy seemed a little too perfect at times. I was also curious to get some of the other characters’ perspectives a la Wonder. I gathered from that there are more books from this author that feature other characters from this novel. There were still a few things I didn’t like about this book. I think the author did not successfully indicate the location of the setting. It takes a long time for her to designate that the action is taking place in Connecticut, and I don’t think that the exact location within Connecticut is ever specifically indicated. I also disliked the way chronology is handled throughout the book; both the day-to-day sequence of events and the later time jump, which I felt skipped over important events that deserved mention. I was also a little irritated by how long it took Jeremy and Carolyn to realize that they were each interested in each other at various times. There were also some small distractions in the form of minor spelling and grammatical errors sprinkled throughout the text. I also question slightly how ideally everything worked for Jeremy and Carolyn, but I will say the author knows how to write some hot sex scenes.
