I am conducting what I'm shelving as a "New Adult (NA) Experiment". I'm going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems. Here's hoping!

I think I should just give up trying with New Adult literature. So far, the genre has offered none of the maturity or complexities of the liminal period between teen years and full-on adulthood, instead preferring what merely amount to college age erotic romances with a hefty side dish of misogyny. Indeed, the frequency with which sexist portrayals of women and relationships appear throughout works labelled New Adult suggests that the pair go hand in hand. While “Fallen Too Far” didn’t reach the

Ah.mazing book!
Author, I loved this book to bits. :D
Yes, It pissed the HELL out of me, but I still loved it, the story, the characters and the writings. Can't wait for the next book. I'll probably die waiting.

“Blaire, I’m not a romantic guy. I don’t kiss and cuddle. It’s all about the sex for me. You deserve someone who kisses and cuddles. Not me. I just fuck, baby.“
Aaaaaaaahhh amazing book but holy cliffhanger!
I need book #2!
Right. Freaking. N O W !
But O.M.G. I loved it!
This was my first Abbi Glines book. Ever. How I’ve managed to read this long and NOT read one of her book is a still a complete mystery too me. Her books feel almost like some sort of rite of passage as a reader. Everyone is al ...more

*4 Stars*
Fallen Too Far was an addictive read! The story picked up momentum immediately and never once faltered in its intensity. Abbi has done an amazing job in taking a commonly used, but highly sought after plot—sexy bad-boy meets innocent virgin good-girl—and transforming it into something unique and genuine.
After having lost everything important to her, Blaire reluctantly heads to her estranged father's house in search of shelter while she gets her life back on track. What she encounters ...more

2.5 stars. I didn't love it, but I certainly didn't hate it, either.
One of my main gripes about this book was the horribly bad editing. It was distracting and took away from the story. And the writing style certainly didn’t help. It was a little pedestrian, if I’m being honest. There were missing commas, run-ons, and sentences that read awkwardly enough to give me pause.
Don’t even get me started on the difference between action tags and dialogue tags, and how to properly punctuate them. You can ...more

She is a beautiful damsel in distress....
But is he her knight in shining armour ??
He might be,he might not.
It does not matter because she is falling for his charms, falling for his caring side.Falling for the rush only he can give her.She is falling for this intriguing and very bad boy.
And she might just have......

Okay, now that I've let it all out, off to my review...
Fallen Too Far... Hmmm... The book is as beautiful as it's cover. The story is about Blaire who after the demise of her mother, seeked help from the person who hasn't been there for her her whole life, her father. When she came to the address he sent, guess what?

This is me officially giving up on Abbi Glines' books
Did you read that GR community?
I. GIVE. UP.
I just cannot seem to find what's so amazeballs about her books when all I find in them is just beautiful. RICH. people.
The main character, Blaire, was just so stupid I can't even decribe it. And Rush, the male lead, was so full of shit. I wanted to kick his ass during the entire book

4.5 ENTERTAINING BUT HIGHLY EMOTIONAL STARS.
Fallen Too Far was my very first book by Abbi Glines and I already know it won't be my last...
Blaire --

She's a young, unexperienced girl who's been hurt more than once by the people she loved.
He's a typical bad boy...tattooed, pierced and a different girl every night.
They are each others stepbrother and stepsister and therefore a recipe for disaster... (or not).

marked it as to-read
Wait, another book with an "innocent" girl and a guy who's played everyone? Isn't this like every other Glines book (at least the 6 or so others I've read)? I get formulas, but there comes a point where you have to write a DIFFERENT character type in order to prove that you are more than a one-trick pony. How about flipping this for once and giving us the experienced girl with the inexperienced guy?
Sigh. I was going to read this because I do like the sexual tension that Glines creates, but now I ...more

This is one of the hardest reviews I've ever had to write. Why, you ask? Well, I can tell you it might possibly be my favorite Abbi Glines book written, but I don't want to say much and ruin the story for you all. So, I'll give you a few highlights and strongly encourage you to get it.

The first half of the book I would give around 3.5 but the second half around 4.5- So, I'm going to settle at 4 Stars

I was young and extremely dumb when I rated this four stars back in 2013. Something made me think about this book just now in 2017 and I was completely cringing. Then I read my four star review and wanted to die. This is an extremely problematic book, with very unhealthy tropes, and I was such a terrible reviewer when I was younger.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL CLIFFHANGERS??
The moment when you realize the book has ended but the story hasn't:
Ok, I am slightly calmer now. But I really have to say something or I'm probably going to explode.

I just love when the bad boy 'playa' falls and especially when he doesn't realize he is falling! The sweet part about this story is that you have Blaire who has gone through some horrible things in the past five years: her twin sister dies, her father left and then she alone takes care of her mother who dies of cancer...she can definitely take care of herself! But she wants someone to want to be with her...to share her life and be there for her. Then you have Mr. Bad Boy, son of a rock god, pier
