I don't mind a little fluff and predictability at times, and this book certainly had both. For a 99-cent "Steals & Deals" Nook purchase that took me one toddler nap-time to read, I'm not disappointed. If I'd invested more time or money, I would be VERY disappointed. The characters are two-dimensional at best, the story line is rushed, and the writing often evokes the feeling of listening to a six-year-old describe her day at school while exhausting all the wrong details and glossing over the...more

As we approach Valentine's Day, I thought it would be perfect to share a sweet story that is light and fun, but also has a little love in it. Centered around a young woman who isn't quite sure about herself and hasn't had the best of luck in the dating world. Through the stories, she comes to find out that first you must love yourself before you can be loved by anyone - a lesson that is best learned through mistakes!

Feminism.
Bachelor expose.
Romance.
Huh, an interesting combination, but terrible execution. The only 'spark' between the two protagonists was of a physical nature, which was only halfheartedly attempted to be more than. It was really pathetic, stilted, and laughably unbelievable. The premise was interesting. Maybe there just wasn't enough time to develop the character or the plot.

I am not impressed with this book. First of all, Overdrive had it listed as a YA novel but the subject matter seems a bit too sexual for that and the characters are definitely not young so I think it must have been a mistake. I thought the idea of a "Bachelor" type show in a novel was a fun one but this just moved too fast and didn't have enough depth to make it believable or enjoyable for me.
I love the book... It was so fun... While I was reading the novel... I can't help but giggle... Alexa and I were somehow related... I tend to hide myself alone... And just like her I also love reading like it was my first love... Brandon was cool... A real gentleman... Not afraid to show his weakness or ( tears )sadness...
Lucy Kevin was so cool... FALLING FAST really rocks!!!

This one may have been closer to 2 stars - I bought it for my nook for 99 cents ... I have to admit I do enjoy watching the bachelor & this was on that idea of a girl going "undercover" on a similar type of tv show - a light, fluffy summer read that I did want to read to the end. I am pretty much just reading chick lit this summer...
What can I say...this story made me smile. This story is The Bachelor on fast-forward and not terribly original (super predictable and not necessarily believable), but that was part of its charm. Sometimes I want to read a story that is just fluffy, fun and cute. I get enough drama in my reading, sometimes its nice to sit down and read for an hour or two and just find it enjoyable. This is certainly an author I plan to throw into rotation on my Nook.
This is one of those books I got off the Nook for .99. If you asked me, I probobly paid too much. It had the premise to be a fun romantic comedy type of book with a make-fun of shows like the bachelor and bachelorette, but it failed miserably. The writing was aweful and not worth the time to read it.
This was a quick, easy read. I think this is a vacation kind of book. No substance, romance. Also, I don't know that it really falls under the YA category that I found it under. I never felt it was inappropriate, but it had more description that I thought I would like my teenager reading!
I have a Nook Simple Touch and I found this in the Free Books and I was like, "Hey, I'm a love junkie" and downloaded it. I absolutely couldn't stop flipping the pages. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time & I just couldn't put it down! It was absolutely amazing!! I loved it sooo much!
This book was like reading a really short season of The Bachelor. The show that takes place in the book only last three weeks with three ceremonies to cut people off. This book was an easy read, but all in all I liked it. I just wish the story was little bit longer, it felt rushed.
What happens when a feminist journalist goes undercover on a show like the Bachelor? This book is that exact scenario. I think I only paid .99 for it and would have been cheated if it were any more money. Very light and fluffy... very predictible chick lit. Hey... it was a beach read!
This is a really sweet and enjoyable slow read book. It's really exciting to find out how fast Alexa falls in love with her "Mr. Right"- Brandon, where the two of them fall in love at first sight...
Not really sure why I kept reading this as I had figured our the whole plot about 5 pages in. My only excuse is that I need some fluff after reading a few depressing books in a row.
This book was very sweet. It totally reminded me of the Bachelor TV show. If you are a fan you will like this book. I normally would not have read this but B&N had it as a deal book and I cannot resist a deal.
Everything seemed to be very predictable and expected throughout the book.
This would make a good beach read.

The worst possible kind of chick-lit...No background, no alternate plotline, nothing but syrupy sweet "I knew that was going to happen". Thankfully, I got my copy for free.
I should have stopped while I was only a third into the book, because this book was dumb, dumb, dumb. It is a literary (I use that word loosely) version of TV's The Bachelor.
Please, don't waste your time.

Falling Fast is a story about a reality TV show like the Bachelor. It was fun and made me laugh. It was predictable, although the ending did surprise me a little.
While this was a cute idea for a book I felt like the story was too rushed and it doesn't give you anytime to fall in love with the characters. A little build up is a good thing.
I love the story line and how the main characters changed throughout the book. I was quiet suprised on the turn out of the ending.
Great story, fun read. It would have been 4 stars except the ending felt forced and rushed while the rest of the story was well-paced.
The book was kinda cute. I am a fan of reality TV, so this book interested me a little. The characters were interesting and unique.
The writing is not that great. I expected a predictable story, but this was not well developed and only mildly entertaining.
I really enjoyed this book! A quick read that made me not want to put it down; funny, too, especially if you are a fan of The Bachelor series on tv!
I found this book to be a quick read in fact I read it in a day. The story was good and kept my interest.
Based on the same premise as the Bachelor, this could have been fun, but was a bit underwhelming.
Quick read. Its chick lit, so not a lot of depth. Good to read on a 3 hour bus ride!
Short and underdeveloped. I had higher expectations because it sounded more interesting, but there is little to no plot development.
This was a good book for a fluffy, not-too-deep read. Not outstanding, but served its purpose well and was fun to read.
Quick and enjoyable (though predictable) - would make a cute rom-com movie
