I usually don't read stories about cancer because it is too real and scary but I'm glad I've started this book because The Fall In Love Checklist is a story about friendship, personal growth, self love and yes unfortunately about cancer too.
As soon as Dany wakes up after a double mastectomy she is dumped by her fiancé so she has to find a new place where to live and she meets Jack. Unfortunately it turns out that Dany still has cancer and has to do some chemo. So she begins a fight against the
The Fall in Love Checklist is a superb blending of romcom, contemporary romance, and women's fic. It pulled at my heartstrings more than I imagined it could, especially considering the cover. But make no mistake, it's a feel-good book, and the cover is spot on—as are the writing, the humor, and the message.
Jack is swoony, but the breakout star here is Dany, who I absolutely fell in love with as she was falling in love with herself. Her character is a joy to read, and I laughed and cried right al ...more

Clumsy writing, characters built on stereotypes and awkward dialogue are actually the highlights here. When these three fatal flaws barrel headlong into an ill-conceived plot, the result is a story as inane as it is implausible.
Here’s the worst offense committed by this author—instead of digging in and owning her characters, author Sarah Ready attempts to use cheap dialogue gimmicks to carry the weight of their individuality. This taints every page of what may have otherwise been at least a med ...more

This is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last because Sarah Ready has given us a story that’s real, it features real live experiences and it touched me on so many levels.

I received this as an arc for my honest review
This book hit me right in my heart. I didn’t really expect to love it as much as I did. The cancer story hit to close to home and I found the characters a bit bland at the start. But reading on I couldn’t help falling for “the girls” and tears were spilled nearing the end. If you’re looking for a story that has the power to really move you then this is the one for you.

This is a great story about facing the adversities of life and love and conquering them. Dani us an inspiring character and had me laughing and crying( I get emotional easily ) and loving every sentence of this story. This is the first book from Sarah Ready that I have read, I am a fan now.

I really enjoyed this new author's release, and this one included a topic not often covered in romance novels.
Dani is a twenty-something who has just had a mastectomy. As she wakes from the surgery, she meets Jack and confuses him for her fiancé. When the real fiancé finally arrives, he dumps her and leaves wondering what to do next. She quickly realizes that she's tired of the life she's been living and pleasing every but herself so she makes a list of all the adventures she wants to try.

This is not an easy story to read for me personally, as it hits close to home, but I am glad that I persevered and read this amazing tale. Dany get the diagnose that every woman dread and that is breast cancer. When she wakes up after a double mastectomy, and is at her weakest, her heartless fiancé comes to the hospital and breaks up with her and says some awful things, and her mom is just the icing on top of the cake. Needing a new place to stay Dany wants to change herself from boring and draw

Umm Wow, just Wow. What a refreshing emotional roller coaster. Sarah Ready has written a beautiful story about a woman finding love, friends and herself along the way.
This is a story about Dany. Dany has always been afraid to be herself, she put herself into a mold of what everyone around her wanted her to be. Then her life drastically changed, and she realized she wanted more out of life.

I enjoyed this one! I loved the premise behind it. I liked the characters, but Dany needs a lot of getting used to. Just because of how she's still insistent to get her ex-fiancee back after she got dumped. That probably goes on up until half of the book. And Jack is also refusing to admit his feelings for Dany. So that kind of get a bit frustrating at times. I loved Dany's chemo session friends. It got a little bit sad there for a moment. But this is just a wholesome story. I was rooting for ev

This is the first book by a new author. I love RomCom and the description alone made me buy the book. I can say I was not disappointed! The story catches you from the first paragraph and you immediately want to read more. The characters are very likable and you start rooting for them from the start. There are some sad moments due to the medical side and I cried more than once, but I laughed more times than I can count. I truly hope to see more from this author as this is an amazing first novel.
Wow, when you expect your nearest and dearest to provide some compassion due to cancer but then they turn around and act like self entitled jerks, it really hits home just who you can depend on. An emotional roller coaster of epic proportions and terribly sweet with a few funny , feel good moments. Dany was totally awe inspiring and so relatable and Jack was everything you need in a friend and lover. Just make sure to have tissues handy and prepare to shed a few tears.
Borrowed this from the library on a complete whim and I really wanted to like it but unfortunately it just was not for me. The ending was somewhat enjoyable but I found Dany really quite difficult. Also the Insta love was just too much for me.
This book was definitely worth the read. It’s funny, sexy, and swoon worthy! I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait for Sarah’s next book!

Loved this!
It made me laugh, it made me cry. I loved how Dany came to realize her real worth and helped Jack see that his life could have love in it too.
