Me esperaba una comedia romántica sencilla, ideal para desconectar. Pero la verdad es que me ha aburrido bastante...
El inicio si que es divertido, e incluso luego el misterio de porqué desapareció etc y sus consecuencias estaban bien.
Pero hacia la mitad de la lectura empieza a haber un batiburrillo de temas que si espirituales y religiosos, luego paranormales, luego delictivos...y hay tantos temas y frentes abiertos h nuestra protagonista es tan santa y el amor tan poco creíble...que se me ha hecho muy aburrido y sin sentido.

Es un libro sencillito y ligero; una comedia romántica con toques místicos y de ciencia ficción que se lee rapidísimo. Me ha venido muy bien leerlo en pleno para bloqueo lector.

Odd. A good idea and although I didn't really like some of the rather clumsy writing and overly elaborate `scene setting` paragraphs, I was intrigued. But people just don't really talk to each other like that! They don't live like that. The most unbelievable thing was not that the heroine had disappeared into a space time vortex but that any of the characters lived/spoke/behaved/wore/functioned as the author wrote them to. Total nonsense. However I was intrigued by the 're occurring theme of quite big age differences within almost all of the relationships. A local author (way too many references to local towns and a shop?!) so worth supporting. Ridiculous 'love at first sight' nonsense and gratuitous tarot card red herrings. A token religion vs science vs humanist discussion .... The ending was ok but not especially satisfying. A good initial idea though.

Just awful. I only finished it because nothing is open and I can't buy a decent book. On the upside this novel has convinced me to purchase an e-reader so I am not caught without a decent book on a long weekend ever again!

Novela romántica, con personajes bastante creíbles; aunque no tanto las situaciones. Lo he leído creyendo que sería más de ciencia ficción o fantasía.

Michaela Anderson isn’t really a risk taker, but when her company organises a charity parachute jump, she can’t really refuse. When she gets up in the skies, she doesn’t want to jump but after everyone else seems to safely make it down, Michaela decides to take the plunge. But as she plummets back to Earth, a huge gust of wind takes Michaela by surprise. She lands with a bump and is a bit unsure why everything around her seems to have changed. The airfield has disappeared and there’s no sign of her colleagues anywhere, or Matt, her instructor. More oddly, when Michaela makes contact with Matt and her boyfriend, it seems she has been missing for over 6 years and everyone thought she was dead. Just what happened to Michaela when she made that jump, and where have the past 6 years been? Is it magical forces at work or something more sinister?
This is the third novel by author Melanie Rose, and I was so excited to read this one because of how much I have enjoyed her previous 2 books. Usually, magical type stories are not my thing, I prefer to read something rooted a little more in the real world, but there is something utterly charming about Rose’s books that I just cannot put down. The cover follows suit with her previous 2 novels, and once again I love it – the green is certainly different and stands out, and makes the book seem the something different that the book itself is. Melanie’s first book Could It Be Magic? focussed on the changed life of a woman struck by lightning, her second was Coming Home about a woman who loses her memory after being caught in a storm so this one about a missing 6 years seems to fit the form of Rose’s books quite well!
The book starts with a prologue that takes place at the time of the jump. We meet a few of Michaela’s colleagues and the jump instructor Matt in this scene, but the jump comes pretty quickly so not too much detail is given away. I actually liked this because it adds to the mystery element of what happened to Michaela, and we can suspect some of the characters because we just don’t know anything about them. Michaela is a very likeable character, although her denial of the new time period she’s emerged into is a tad annoying. It’s weird because I understood why you would be in denial about it, but at the same time I found it quite annoying! However, it didn’t bother me enough to skip parts or anything, it was more of a niggle than a huge problem!
The development of the story is very interesting and I loved how Rose dictates the pace of the story through her character. Michaela’s acceptance of her situation moves along quite nicely and allows for more plot development in terms of her building up relationships with the other characters in the book. The best relationship to read about was that of Michaela, her boyfriend from her life before Calum and his daughter Abbey. Obviously Michaela feels like she only saw the pair of them earlier that morning, yet Calum and Abbey have had 6 years to come to terms with Michaela’s disappearance, and the way this pans out makes for great reading. Rose gets into the emotion of these characters amazingly well, you can feel for each of them and how they are dealing with their difficult circumstances. Michaela and Abbey’s relationship in particular was very touching, and I loved seeing it develop as the book goes on.
I really couldn’t guess how it was all going to end for Michaela in the book and whether there would be a definite ending to it or if it would left up in the air a little bit. Even when I had read the end, I actually went back and re-read it just so I could make sure I had understood it clearly enough and it turned out I had. There is a science bit in the middle of the book which is quite hard going if you don’t pay attention and really concentrate on it! I found it was a little bit too heavy actually, a lot of the scientific jargon was just too much for me and I ended glossing over it and trying to get the general gist of it. This is really the only negative thing about the book though, and I still got the rest of the book okay by glossing over this bit. I appreciate the research that Rose must have put into this though, it must have been pretty heavy!
Overall, this is a superb book and one I would highly recommend, especially if you are a fan of more magical tales such as Melanie Roses’ previous books, Cecelia Ahern or even Sophie Kinsella. The writing is great – the style flows really well and I enjoyed it being written from the first person perspective as we can really get into Michaela’s head and try to puzzle out her story along with her. It’s very emotive, you really do feel for these characters, and the pace is just right so that your attention is kept, the secrets are revealed slowly as the book pans out, and by the end you really do care about what happened to Michaela. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what else Melanie Rose is going to bring us!

La verdad no se si sea spoiler pero debo decir que en este libro pasa todo el drama del mundo....y no pasa nada
El tema es que alguien se va de paracaídas y cuando cae pasan 6 años... a pues el libro habla de todo menos de esto hasta el final y meten cuanto cliché y drama se le ocurre a la escritora

What the heck have I just read?
The storyline is certainly interesting - girl goes for a parachute jump and when she lands, finds herself six years later in the future - But all the other stuff that comes after is just a whirl wind of huh?. With the reader left to make up their own mind of what really happened.

La idea central de que al aterrizar de un salto en paracaídas han pasado 6 años es realmente buena. Pero a mi parecer le ha faltado mucho ya que en la mayor parte del libro se desvían a relaciones amorosas,familiares... y tiende a ser predecible y monótono. No digo que sea malo, simplemente no fue lo que esperaba. Me hubiera gustado que explotaran más la idea principal.

I enjoyed this one more than Coming Home. I liked the storyline - somthing a bit different and some twists along the way.
June 10, 2020
I guessed I was going to like this book as I have read one of Melanie Rose’s other books, Coming Home. I love books that feature magical realism – so long as the emphasis is firmly on realism. This turned out to be one of those that you just couldn’t stop reading; and it was believable. Really!
We meet Michaela one Monday morning in the spring of 2002 when she is embarking on a charity parachute jump with her workmates from her insurance company. She’s terrified, and I hear that! The jump instructor, a guy called Matt, seems to fancy her but she is more focused on him seeing her through the jump in one piece, not letting the charity down and getting home safely to Calum and Abbey, her live-in boyfriend and his ten year old daughter. We learn that Calum is over-cautious after losing his wife a year or two earlier in a car crash, and Abbey is just learning to trust Michaela.
After the initial terror of her jump she sees the countryside below her, being “on top of the world” and is starting to enjoy it until suddenly she is caught up in what feels like a whirlwind and she lands in the field in the dark. Disoriented and confused because her car has disappeared, the airfield building is deserted and it is dark when it should be morning, Michaela finds a nearby pub but cannot contact either her partner or her parents. She does, however, have Matt’s number and contacts him to collect her from the pub – which he does, but not before Michaela has seen a newspaper dated six and a half years into the future. He explains to her that she has been missing for all that time, which she cannot compute as she has jumped out of the plane only an hour before.
Events that follow are interestingly curious. Life is not as she knows it and everyone – Calum, Abbey, her workmates and parents - and everything has changed in the last six and a half years. We come to terms with these changes along with Michaela as she learns from Matt what has happened; it seems that nobody in her life has flourished and what’s more, they all blame it on Michaela walking out on them. And nobody will believe her when she explains that she didn’t.
Solving the mystery takes place over about a week, which is slightly on the quick side. I was a little irritated by the romance element with Michaela having the “urge to brush my fingers along his jaw” early on in the book; I read it for the mystery element not the romantic side of it, but I accept that it was part and parcel of the story and a key one as it turned out. I wasn’t, however, feeling any real connection between Michaela and either of her prospective love interests – it was more like the feeling you would have for a celebrity crush.
Another theme is around making choices, and whether Michaela - annoyingly called Kaela through the book, which grated on me for some reason as I kept seeing Koala! – wants to get back to 2002 or accept her new normal. Relationships and what she thought was her life are taken apart and held up to the light and found wanting. So what to do?
How is this resolved? Well, there is one theory that we learn about three-quarters of the way through, which is my preferred (and believable) explanation but then a more sinister one is proposed which is also discounted and though more realistic on the face of it, it’s not credible to me. We are left with no option to decide for ourselves where Michaela has been for all of that time, if indeed she has been anywhere at all.

En el trabajo de Michaela han decidido organizar el evento del año: un salto en paracaídas. El miedo ante lo desconocido es notable en la protagonista, que empieza a sentir vértigo y replantearse si es la iniciativa correcta o si es demasiado tarde para evitarlo. Si algo tiene claro es que su decisión no la va a dejar indiferente, lo que no puede imaginar es que un solo salto pueda tener tantas implicaciones en su vida como tendrá, no por su peligrosidad, sino porque cuando aterriza todo a su alrededor ha cambiado. Ella sigue siendo la misma que hace unos minutos, ¿pero qué ha pasado con los demás?
Paulatinamente va descubriendo el motivo, aunque para ella hayan pasado unos minutos en el mundo real han transcurrido seis años y medio. A lo largo de la novela vamos adentrándonos en su destartalado universo en el que todo ha cambiado en un simple pestañeo, mientras que la policía y ella misma irán tratando de dilucidar la explicación para tal extraño enigma.
La premisa es interesante y original, sin embargo, es un libro que quiere abarcar demasiados temas sin adentrarse en ninguno. En esta novela encontraremos amor, celos, pasión, enfermedad, duelo, muerte, magia, fantasmas, alienígenas, numerología, ciencia, etc. Si parece demasiado con solo enumerarlo, su inclusión en una obra de apenas 426 páginas peca de acercarse más a un listado de temáticas que a una narración en la que todos se unen y se desarrollan con naturalidad.
Como ocurre con el abuso de elementos, los personajes también aparecen desdibujados, se les quiere crear un aura de complejidad que acaba reducida a unos personajes con muchas cosas en la cabeza pasando de manera frenética y que no te permiten conocerlos ni meterte de dentro en la trama. Kaela (o Michaela) narra en primera persona lo que sucede, pero aún así no he conseguido conectar con ella. Hay escenas en la que parece que es ella la que ha tenido un viaje de seis años y medio y no su entorno, mostrándose especialmente fría o cambiante, con unos sentimientos o planteamientos poco realistas para una persona adulta cuya vida ha dado un giro de 180º en tan solo unas horas.
Esperaba más de Caída libre puesto que su argumento, como ya he mencionado, me pareció único y diferente. No obstante, el modo en el que se ha desarrollado la historia, debido a los aspectos criticados con anterioridad, no ha sido para mí. He de reconocer que es una lectura ligera, rápida y en ocasiones divertida. Aunque no me ha gustado, lo he terminado porque se deja leer, acaba enganchando y quieres saber qué va a pasar a continuación. Lo recomiendo si os llama la atención, si queréis leer algo muuy diferente o si os interesa alguno de los temas que he mencionado.

I've been ranting for a few days about this book. I liked the premise and the mystery about what could have happened to Michaela. There was definitely a healthy pull between the questions "was she abducted" or "was she stuck in the world between worlds for six years". I'm okay with the fact that there wasn't really a 100% conclusive yes to either question, although it definitely leaned toward the supernatural/quantum side more.
I was really annoyed that as soon as Michaela is back, everyones' lives are perfect and happy ever after blah blah nonsense. I was annoyed about a lot of situations like unnecessary fighting or silly reasons for anger or fighting, or making Ingrid unnecessarily cruel, or giving Michaela a laundry list of completely random and unbelievable things to be going on in her life (dead father, cancer friend, random stranger love at first sight, teenage drama, child abandonment, mom in nursing home, the list goes on).
I was not a fan of Michaela in general. She was too bland and sometimes too logical and sometimes too irrational for the conversations, almost like lazy tropes were being used just to get the drama and necessary elements into the story.
The Science and supernatural type things were cool and I would have liked more time spent on that as opposed to myriad of relationships and problems that kept springing up.

Este libro tenía un potencial tan grande que fue desperdiciado dejando de lado la premisa qué lo hacía interesante, tenemos la realidad de que viven en el mundo en el que vivimos pero al mismo tiempo tenemos la fantasía de saber que ella desapareció 6 años de la nada. Me hubiera gustado que la autora jugará más con la parte fantasiosa por que al final no nos dan una explicación del por qué paso lo que paso. La primera parte del libro es bastante atrapante, pero se va convirtiendo en algo tedioso de leer en todos los conflictos en los que la protagonista se ve envuelta qué no tienen nada que ver con su desaparición, además el libro nos sumerge en religión y existencialismo que sinceramente esta de más, con la sinopsis yo me esperaba un libro de suspenso, misterio y tal vez un poco de romance y me quedo a deber mucho.

Una gran idea como punto de partida, pero totalmente echada a perder. Es el peor libro que he leído en mucho tiempo. No voy a entrar en cómo se desarrolla la historia porque no hay por dónde cogerla, está llena de personajes planos que actúan de la manera más absurda posible. Pero es que lo tiene todo: una depresión severa que se cura de un día para otro, que todas las mujeres del libro se lleven mal entre ellas y se perjudiquen, "hablábamos de todo, desde moda hasta hombres", cánceres apenas tratados que salen bien, mujeres a las que se les critica por disfrutar de su sexualidad...
Bodrio.
Me lo terminé porque me lo habían recomendado y lo prometí. No me engañan otra vez.

If you don't take this book too seriously, it's quite an enjoyable, easy read. It's an interesting premise and I was interested to see what avenue it went down. The main story aside (the unexplained missing 6 years, 6 months, 6 days) there are other unbelievable bits that happen in this story (miraculous recovery of Michaela's Mum for one). The ending was too perfect in that everyone lives happily ever after, BUT unless I missed it, was there ever an explanation for the missing 6 years? Then again this is a bit of a fantasist read, so maybe there is no explanation.

C'est un bon roman qui mêle l'amour, le suspens, un peu de fantastique et de surnaturel. L'histoire est originale et l'intrigue est assez prenante. J'ai été happée dès les premières lignes.
Le personnage principal Michaela est sympathique mais comme souvent je me suis beaucoup plus attachée à un personnage secondaire Abby , adolescente, un peu perdue et en révolte contre tout et surtout son père.
L'écriture est simple et très fluide.
Le seul petit bémol serait la conclusion , un peu frustrante mais j'ai quand même passé un bon moment.

Le livre nous donne envie de poursuivre sa lecture jusqu'à la fin ! Néanmoins, je ne peux pas mettre plus de trois étoiles, ni expliquer pourquoi sans révéler l'intrigue.
Il me semble qu'il y a quelques erreurs pour la traduction française.

Es una lectura que engancha y con misterio y con la ansiedad de alguien que al volver a casa ve que todo ha cambiado.
Alguna situación se puede adivinar por alguna pista que da la autora y alguna otra queda en manos del lector.
Agradable lectura con pizcas de profundidad .

This was a really good read, so many different threads coming together.

Le pongo dos estrellas porque la historia es relativamente original, pero tanto el desarrollo como los personajes flojean mucho. La traducción, además, es terrible.
