Fall Into Me is about Kate, a college girl who gets caught up in guy drama with her friend from high school. Her best friend, Shane, is there to support her and give her some friendly advice, and maybe show her there is more than just friendship between them.
It as a good story, but a I wanted more. For me, it ended just as it was getting good. I also wanted Kate to be a little more understanding/supportive of her friends.

This is a quirky, fun story about a girl named Kate who gets upset with her best friend for dating a mutual friend that she has had a crush on since high school. There is something refreshing and honest about this story and the way that Kate's feelings aren't logical and that even she realizes that she's being unfair and irrational, yet feels betrayed anyway. It's one of those contradictory, petty feelings that usually don't show up in fiction.

The story was very well-written, with the narrative voice and first person form working very well to bring the reader in. There's also a subtle humor in the way the narrator seems determined to keep her guy pal, Shane, in the "friend zone" even though the reader can clearly see that he'd be great for her.
