Fall Apart is the first book of Mimi Baptist’s @author_mimibaptist Something’s Got to Give Duet.
Dedication:
“Sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.”
Marilyn Monroe
“Boys think girls are like books, if the cover doesn’t catch their eye, they won’t bother to read what’s inside.”
Marilyn Monroe
Tropes:
🖤 dark bully romance
👤👤👤👤 why choose/reverse harem
😡 hate to 😍 love
💕 enemies to lovers
👩💼🔄👱🏻♀️ Freaky Friday plot
👻 BAD*SS FMC
🐺 possessive alpha males
🔥🔥🔥 very spicy
⭐ Marilyn Monroe inspired characters with a Holy Shit type of ending
I had this story on my TBR for a long time and I’m really sad that I didn’t read it earlier. Mimi surprised me with this unique idea of a paranormal romance.
We have our FMCs Norma Jean and Marilyn. Norma Jean had a happy life but always felt that something is missing, Monroe on the other side, had a lot to suffer - bullying and nobody who gave her the love she needed.
The MMCs - our fallen angels - Cass, JD, Lincoln and Miller are beautiful hunks and seem to have different personalities when they interact with Norma Jean compared to Monroe.
This story is an emotional rollercoaster with all the plot twists and complicated feelings of the MCs, but it is also full of worldly wisdom, positive energy and a really bratty and sassy FMC. And we cannot forget the spice Mimi used to stop us further to lay down this book.
Quotes:
This stunning human being enters the room, like he owns the place. He is wearing what looks to be suit pants, and a button-down shirt, with the first three buttons undone, giving me a little peek of what lurks underneath, and with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Damn, forearm porn at its best. Are those full tattoo sleeves on his arms? I think my mouth is watering at the sight.
"Do you want to know the facts, Oliver, was it?" I start off, turning my body fully towards him then. "According to American Scientists, sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearful of their own impulses, in a sense they 'doth protest too much', as in you probably wish you had the guts, or the balls," I reach my hand to his crotch and palm it quite brutally, which makes him jump and yelp, "to admit to what you really want.”
"I can't. You can't. We can't. Let me tell you some-thing, dear stepbrother," I make sure to add the 'step' in my words, "life is fucking short, you either live it to the fullest or what's the point. Take this from someone that has died, having, without a shadow of a doubt, lived a pretty shitty life so far," I had to incorporate the old Monroe in my rant, even though this is all Norma Jean's words "and came back to life. No regrets. You don't want to follow me into the abyss of what we could be. Fine. But just let me know now before I waste my precious time on you."

If you were given a second chance on life would you take it? The only catch is that you’re going to be living someone else’s life!
This book was a reverse-harem, why choose, bully romance, but it is so much more than that!
The female lead shows how strong I wish I was when I was 17. Mimi Baptist does an excellent job in creating a strong female lead who takes her bullies for a ride and has them begging for more.
The only thing I didn’t like was that I have to wait for the second book to find out what happens!!!
So good!!
