avoid
April 14, 2023Ya'll this book is heartbreak 🌽
The H and h don't date. They date OP THE WHOLE BOOK. The idea is that they are not meant to end up together because
There is NO HEA
Imo, this book isn't a romance book... it is a heartbreak book. Throughout the book the h is in love with the H. The H is too but we don't know that till the end.. but the way she pines after him... 🚪mat.

Please this book was extra long for no reason and the main Characters felt like they were 18-20 instead of in their late twenties. The idea of the book was good but it was very repetitive. The same statements were said over and over again and it felt like we were getting no where.

One of my best reads this year!!! I loved this book from start to finish. It was a book I was able to connect with and relate to through the characters. This book was so beautifully written and the words were so meaningful. I love how each character had a purpose in this story and how everything had all lined up. It was a heartbreaking book to say the least with many many tears and I definitely did not expect what had happened to happen. It is a book about growth and self love and Ava has my whole heart. It is a book that can teach us and allow us to take back from it. One of my favourite books that I will forever think about. What I love most about this book is the realism of it while many people read a book to see a happy ending full of love I like to read books that show reality which this book had done for me. I love all romance books that I have read whether they are unrealistic or realistic but this one has definitely captured my heart and will forever stick with me because of the characters emotions, thoughts, and the way that is all written through the words. It is definitely worth the read and will make you cry loads so here is a warning for that.

I don’t even know how to write a review on this book.
It’s no doubt utterly heartbreaking. Infuriating at times. Frustration but then understanding.
Everyone can relate to some aspect of this story. And Jason Finnegan- Hart is teaching us how to survive after heartbreak. Because it will absolutely break you in one way of another.
This book has some of my favorite quotes and references of all time. Not just storyline related… but phrases and ways of thinking that I’d tell my future kids going through heartbreak one day. Things that I need to post on a mirror and remind myself of every day. New appreciation for this life we get to live. I loved this so much as bad at is hurt.
That we can’t fly until we fall.
The story only stops if you put the pen down. So keep on writing.

I don’t usually choose to read a book when I know the ending isn’t a happy one. I’m sensitive… sue me. 🤷🏼♀️ However, I saw some excerpts in a review and was intrigued so I gave it a go. Turns out, this book was not for me. I didn’t like the pacing, or the writing, or the characters. The very end made me a bit misty-eyed because I’m not completely dead inside; but other than that, it was the most I felt for any of the characters.

Actually broke me. I’m not okay and I knew it was coming. Got me nearly crying on antidepressants so well done, author, well done. You nearly achieved something impossible.
Two stars because of the emotional damage.

Absolutely stunning!
Falling for Heartbreak is an amazingly well written and deeply emotive book that I’ve had the pleasure of reading.
Truly a work of art!

Zero stars. "Falling for heartbreak" more like I'm not falling for this bullshit because wtf was this wattpad bullshit. Dnf at 7% (27 pages in...)

Two people – one unable to stop falling in love and the other unable to love.
I truly have no idea how to start this review, I'm not even sure if there are words for what this book made me feel .. Actually there aren't... except for the fact that it broke my soul in the most beautiful way possible... come to think of it I had to stop myself from constantly sharing passages from the book, I saw someone say they couldn't get past the quotes which I can understand but I guess I'm a sucker for quotes, the writing style played with my heartstrings to the core.... This book will stay with me forever and I literally mean forever! I think readers who loved Tilly Cole's duolgy will love this one too!

I loved this book, I’ve never sobbed so much

I have never cried so hard reading a book. It reached parts of me that remain hidden from the world and everyone around me. This will be a book i cherish forever and will come back to read over and over again.

Almost DNF'd... then finished anyway. (SPOILERS)
I started Falling for Heartbreak by Samirah Zaman with high hopes, but the early chapters almost made me DNF. The writing didn’t flow well—it felt very Wattpad-esque, with constant timeline jumps that made it difficult to stay immersed. Compared to Zaman’s The Bow Series, this one felt far less polished.
From the beginning, Jason was a problem for me. He’s written to be complex, but came off more annoying and pretentious than anything else. His relationship with Ava felt toxic and manipulative, and it was frustrating to watch him toy with her emotions. Meanwhile, Alex seemed like the perfect match for Ava, and I couldn't understand why she kept getting caught up in Jason’s mess.
One consistent strength in Zaman’s writing is how well she portrays toxic relationships—Kai, in particular, was a painfully realistic character. My heart broke for Ava as her history with him unraveled. Samirah Zaman doesn’t shy away from showing the lingering trauma and emotional scars that follow abuse, and those chapters were some of the most impactful.
That said, the book wasn't without plot holes. At one point, Ava says she doesn't want to watch Jason relapse into drinking again, even though she never knew him during his drinking days—she only found out he didn't drink as she was told by someone else. And the scene with her dad’s heart attack was so bizarrely timed and overly dramatic that it pulled me right out of the story.
Still, Ava’s growth throughout the book is undeniable. By the end, she chooses herself—cutting ties with toxic people, embracing healing, and standing firm in her identity. While it wasn’t a conventional happy ending, it felt emotionally satisfying. Ava’s strength, resilience, and final decision to not read Kai’s letter showed true character development.
So, did I love this book? No. But did it redeem itself in the end? Kind of. It’s messy, frustrating, occasionally beautiful, and ultimately, it’s a story of self-discovery. If you can push through the uneven pacing and annoying love interests, Ava’s journey might still be worth the ride.

sorry i really wanted to love this book but the author wrote it like the main character was really trying to be an independent, grown and developed person after all her past trauma but then she ended up being extremely reliant on the main “love interest,” and it just felt so weirdly contradicting. i don’t know if that was intentional but it frustrated me a lot and i didn’t enjoy this book as much as i thought i would. most of the self dialogue was her proving to herself she was better than how she was with her ex-boyfriend, then she would be extremely reliant on her current “boyfriend”. also, the domestic abuse in this book made me so uncomfortable, the author wrote it like extremely graphic and i hated it so much. i literally only finished this because i thought it would redeem itself at some point but it really just kept getting worse, and i don’t remember a singular thing i liked about this book.
Highlights:
"This book does NOT have a happy ending. This book is going to break your heart into tiny little pieces. But first, it will make you fall in love. Because love is a set-up for heartbreak."
"'No girlfriend?' 'Just one. Things didn’t work out. You know how it goes. Shall we move a little further in?' I nod and follow behind him as we take cover behind another tree. 'Why didn’t it work?' Alex studies my face, and I can tell he is choosing his words carefully. 'She wasn’t you.'"
"Alex hugs me. 'You look so beautiful when you are happy.'"
"I grimace at the pizza slice. I usually take out the peppers when I order for myself, but everyone else loves them."
"He finishes picking at the pizza slice in his hand and hands it to me. I look at it, confused. 'I took the peppers out for you. You don’t like them, right?'"
"'Do you want Alex because you love him or because he is the right choice, the easy one?'"

i dont usually leave reviews for books i’ve read, even the ones that i’ve rated 5 stars too. but with this i felt there was a need.
i’ve never felt more emotionally attached to a book, let alone one that questions your morals throughout. at the end of it i had been bawling my eyes out. i’ve read sad but this was a slap to the face. like eyes puffy and all 😭
i think being a big romance reader and being used to reading lovey dovey books constantly, it provided me with a sense of reality and something completely different.
the writing in the book was absolutely beautiful - one of the best that i’ve read by far - and you can really tell how the writing style changes as the book goes on.
the book wasn’t too long or too short it was perfect, not leaving you with the after thoughts of they should’ve done this or this.
i’ve also included some parts that i’ve highlighted that will forever be engraved into me (some that made me laugh too)
“He strokes my cheek so softly I can barely feel it. “Because if this were a different story, I would fall in love with you.””
“He might be the father , but you can still call me daddy”
“As she danced in the rain, with the lights behind her, laughter on her lips and the stars watching, I finally understood the word ‘beautiful’.”
“As I stood in that parking lot, I already knew how this story would end.”
““Where has loving someone else ever gotten you?””
““Regret is bigger than gratitude; that is why the dead receive more flowers than the living.””
“You’re staring heartbreak right in the eyes, and you’re still standing.”
“The cartoon elephant has a smile on her face.”
“She was lost in her thoughts, while she permanently lived in mine.”
“It’s been a privilege to have had my heart broken by you, Jason Finnegan-Hart.”

Neste livro acompanhamos a história de Ava e Jason. Duas pessoas que passaram por situações semelhantes ao longo da sua vida, mas que se tornaram em pessoas bastante diferentes. Diria mesmo, o oposto um do outro. Mas, como se costuma dizer: os opostos atraem-se.
Ava, apesar de a vida não ter sido nada simpática consigo, ainda acredita no amor e no "felizes para sempre". Afinal, é escritora.
Já Jason, acredita que o amor apenas nos destrói. Para ele, o "felizes para sempre" só existe nos livros. É algo fictício.
Quando os dois se conhecem, Jason avisa Ava para ela não se apaixonar por ele. Afinal, ele não acredita no amor e não lhe consegue dar aquilo que ela quer e merece.
A amizade entre os dois vai fluíndo, mas para Ava acaba por se tornar em algo mais. Talvez ela devesse ter dado ouvidos ao Jason. Ele disse-lhe que lhe acabaria por partir o coração.
Gostei bastante deste livro. Foi uma montanha russa de emoções. Houve momentos em que odiei o Jason, mas no final, ele acabou por me conquistar. Percebi o porquê de ele ser como é ao ler a sua história. Apesar de o livro estar escrito na perspectiva da Ava, a história é do Jason. Tal como diz logo no início do livro: esta história começa e acaba com o Jason.
Adorei conhecer estas personagens e as suas histórias, as suas paixões, os seus medos, os seus sonhos...
Este livro tocou-me de uma forma que não sei explicar por palavras. Fez-me pensar que, por vezes, quando alguém nos magoa e nos parte o coração, pensamos que é o fim do mundo, que não vamos conseguir levantar e seguir em frente. Às vezes, até nos questionámos se todos aqueles momentos valeram a pena. Sim, valeram. Porque mesmo que agora estejamos com esta dor no peito e pareça que vamos sentir isto para sempre, isso não é verdade. Um dia, a dor vai aliviar. Um dia, olharemos para trás e iremos sorrir com as memórias. Um dia, iremos agradecer por aquela pessoa nos ter partido o coração. Porque foi graças a isso que nos tornamos em quem somos hoje. Portanto sim, o amor vale a pena, mesmo que saiamos magoados.

Ok, I don’t even know where I heard about this one but all I remember was “it will break your heart” and I get it. It did break me a little and I cried for this story.
It felt familiar to me and I don’t know why like I’ve definitely read something similar in the past.
Anyway, I must admit it was beautifully written but was confusing in places the way it was back and forward between different timelines and I kept getting confused with the characters and would have to go back and reread stuff.
I knew there was no HEA cause the book literally tells you that but I was still really annoyed at how it ended like it was just so abrupt the departure of JFH.
That being said I really did just dive right in and fell in love with most of the characters and their stories and it really was falling for heartbreak. But also I understand the lessons in life and love it was portraying.
I would definitely recommend this ♥️

“There are no time limits to life, Ava. Age is just the number of your existence. Living and existing aren’t the same thing.”
Oh boy this one got me! I’ve been seeing it on tiktok allot and I finally caved and read it. It’s one that will live rent free in my heart.
Ava just wants to have love. She believes she needs it to be happy in life and after a huge heartbreak that quite literally almost killed her she still believes in it.
Jason is the unexpected hurricane that comes into her life somewhat unwillingly and pushes the whole “don’t fall in love with me”….but will she listen?
This story was so beautifully written and prob the last 25-30% destroyed me. Love is a beautiful thing and you really just need to learn how to fall and trust the process.

OH MY LORD THIS BOOK IS AMAZING
i have never been intensely into any book other than this one. the author does such an amazing job of combining the protagonists past to the present and flows the book in a way where it’s so easy to understand. with every chapter she uncovers more about the characters and why they are they way they are. this book broke me, but healed me and taught me so many new things. this book also made me want to look at the world on new ways and changed my perspective on everything. it taught me how to survive heartbreak and make me love each and everyone of the characters
i think everyone should read this book at least once in there life and i would sell my soul to read it for the first one

disappointed
I really wanted to like this book, but the writing was just confusing to me. We jumped back-and-forth between timelines which I read before but not when we’re jumping between three or four different timelines. They also would introduce new characters without explaining them and just jump into a conversation with them and we’re supposed to know who the heck this person is which I thought was really confusing as well. I also just did not really vibe with the main character. I honestly skipped the whole middle and went right to the end, because I wanted to stop reading, but wanted to kind of get the gist of the story.

I absolutely love the whole book! It was emotion moments, laughable, anguish scenes. It really made you connect with the characters on how they feel or think. I had to keep tissues on me because I was crying a lot towards the end of the book. I, personally, connected with the female main character due to my personal life really resembled hers. But the only thing I would've liked to make it better was keeping the timeline in order instead of going forward in the future and then jumping years back in the past. It just made it a little harder to follow along what was going on.
February 11, 2024
Not sure where I got the recommendation from this, but I was very disappointed. I really did not vibe with the main female character. She had a positive attitude, but she was still like very weak and negative mentally and kind of whiny in my opinion. It was also very confusing how they kept introducing characters to us through a conversation without actually explaining who they are like we’re supposed to know what’s going on. and I did not like how we kept jumping from timeline to timeline back-and-forth. It was just very hard to connect with this story.

“Because even heartbreak has to have an end”. The highs and lows of this book were unexpected but also breathtaking.
This book made me feel very deep feelings … no smut which was appreciated.
This book helped me look at love and loss through a different lense. It’s not your typical romance book as you got to experience love in all its different forms. I think that takes a specific writing skill to be able to articulate love in its different form.
This is second book from this author that I’ve read and I’m excited to read all her other works.

SUCH A GOOD READ!!! i saw this on tiktok a few times and thought i would give it a go even though every one said there was no hea. I'M GLAD I DID. A deep meaningful book with so many beautiful dialogue. there is no hea but the message behind this book was worth the tears. don't read this if you want a fluffy romance because there are some triggering things in this but written so well. i loved the writing and cried so much. i will think about this book forever

As the title says -
This is not a book of romance with a happily ever after but it is a book filled with love, pain, healing and heartbreak. Like it’s been said not all things in life will have a happy ending but this is an integral part I life I think and this book is a great example of that. It has been an emotional rollercoaster but thank you, this has been so beautifully written.

OMG this book was amazing. I legit cried sooo many times. If you want a raw and emotionally real book, then this is for you. There is not a typical HEA but I think there sort of was. This was Ava's journey, her emotionally raw, messed up and totally real story. I enjoyed the chapters from Jason's POV as well so you can see how different one person can feel in the same moment. If you like tearjerkers like me, read this book.

This book broke my heart the more I read about Ava and Jason’s story. Had me genuinely sobbing into my pillow for hours multiple times reading the book and afterwards. It was written beautifully and truly represented heartbreak, love, grief and loss so well. Their story was heart wrenching to read, but so real and beautiful at the same time. I will definitely be taking a break from reading after this one though. I don’t think another book can compare to this one for a long time.
