Falling for Her

Ever since Monica Murphy announced she was writing books for Drew and Fables children I have been beside myself waiting for them one by one. I absolutely loved Autumns book and knew that I was going to love Jakes. Little did I know how much I would love it.

Jake Callahan has the pressure of the world on his shoulders. Its his senior year and hes the quarterback of the team. Hes one of the most popular boys in school. Hannah Walsh has flown under the radar for much of high school. So when the most popular boy in school approaches her, she wants nothing to do with it. But there is something about Jake that she cant shake. They dont make sense together, they come from different worlds, but that doesnt stop them from wanting each other. Can they make it work, or are their worlds too far separated?

I thought for sure that I had Jake figured out before I even read the book. I knew hed be cocky, but I thought he would have that quiet confidence that Drew had/has. Boy was I wrong, Jake is so much like his Uncle Owen I couldnt help but smile. I adored Owen and I adore Jake in much the same way. And Hannah, absolutely love her. Shes quiet and seems shy, but she comes out of her shell and is sassy when she needs to be and stands her ground. I loved watching her come into her own. Loved this story, and now I cant wait for the next one!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: there is nothing quite like Callahan love! Monica Murphy was clearly born to write about this family and I have been hooked since One Week Girlfriend. Now that we are on the 2nd generation, the heartache is just as raw as Jake finds his way through all the crazy that is both his life and the last year of high school.

Murphy clearly has her finger on the pulse of what it’s like to go through those angsty HS years. I love how she doesn’t demean her characters and gives them a true personality that isn’t always simply some cliche. Hannah Walsh is truly wonderful. A young woman who stays quietly in the background with her two close friends and has such a beautiful soul. Her inner thoughts were refreshing to read and for me, she reminded me of Fable and her selfless ways. I just knew she had to be the one to make Jake Callahan smile again and finally enjoy his life the way it was intended.

There are a myriad of conflicts happening at almost a breakneck speed but it represents just how teens’s lives change almost daily. Jake has a ton on his plate and his burgeoning romance with Hannah, which knocks him for a loop is just one of the many issues he needs to address. I liked that he isn’t truly the a$$ he is seemingly viewed as and that Hannah sees his struggles and his concerns and never makes him feel less for it. Jake’s appreciation of her frankness and honesty goes way beyond anything he’s experienced before and it was lovely to see that he realizes he can be more than he ever thought possible especially with Hannah by his side.

And, of course, the couple of chapters in Drew and Fable’s POV are always a great bonus, as their parenting isn’t perfect no matter how much their love is. It’s a real family, no matter how well off they are, each offspring suffering in their own ways but knowing they have a support system always at the ready.

Jake and Hannah’s love affair is sweet and thoughtful and most times, effortless. The shy artist and the popular quarterback should have had nothing in common and yet their attraction to one another provides a happy surprise and a deep connection they both ultimately needed.

With a glance as to what’s to come in future books, there is more excitement to be found with Jake, Hannah, their close friends and the rest of the Callahan crew. It promises to be explosive and full of the kind of feels and intensity I crave.

Falling For Her is simply wonderful from beginning to end and I happily give it a solid 5 stars!

Falling for Her is simply wonderful. This is book 2 in the Callahans series. If you aren’t familiar with this series yet it is Drew and Fable’s (from One Week Girlfriend series) kids. This is there second child Jake’s story. It is filled with all those wonderful and not wo wonderful high school moments. The angsty high school drama and following your heart when you are drawn to someone you didn’t expect. Jake is has his anger issues, which is refreshing in many ways, you can’t blame him for all the pressure he puts on himself. I love how Hannah helps him focus away from all his anger and Drew and Fable are ever present to help. Hannah is just so sweet and wonderful. She may not be popular but that is something you will love most about her. Jake and Hannah have this something special that just grows throughout this read. I couldn’t get enough of this one. I’m so in love with the Callahans series. I want more Jake and Hannah. I really can not wait for Ava’s story.

OMG. I have been a fan since Drew and Fable met and now watching their kids and checking in with them is so much fun.
