Fall by Eden Butler

"... a laugh I heard when he didn't know I listened. It was like a song, something sweet, something I wanted to hear always..."

"The storm coalesced, went deep inside me. It lived there - the island, my heart, and the rush of memory and regret I'd left behind me years ago."

Fall is the first book that I've read by Eden Butler. And let me just say, that I'm glad that I chose it as my 1st. It was such a sweet and tender book to read. And it felt like a 2nd Chance Romance. 

We meet Lily Campbell while she's visiting home, one of the islands of Hawaii with her friend, and roommate Kiki - as they're trying to win a bet against each other. She's been away for four years studying in Yale. While home, we learn that more than anything, she misses her brother, his wife and their daughter - whom she adores. 

It's while playing this game / bet that she reencounters Keilen Rivers - her dream crush since she was in High School. And when I say crush, I mean CRUSH.. She's followed him through out the years, but not in a stalker way... 

Fortunately for her, Kiki dares her to seduce Keilen in the most improper way. Little does she know that the tables will turn on her. 

Unfortunately, something terrible and tragic happens. She has to go from a college student to a full time provider. And with that, she goes back home to become a successful lawyer over the years. BUT, things aren't always great. As she has someone that is stalking her and beginning to ruin her career. She's asked to "take some time off" of work and take a vacation. Which leads her back home. 

There, she reencounters Keilen, where she realizes that the feelings that they felt many years ago are still there. 

The journey that they had to go through and the trials that were brought up against them were hard. But the outcome was the most precious and beautiful thing that I've read! Definitely enjoyed reading this book, and am looking forward to reading more from her!
