Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! How are you all doing? I hope well.
Today is my stop in the “The Opposite of Falling Apart” blog tour and I have a review and some favorite quotes planned for you. Thank you to the publisher for sending me a review copy in exchange for an honest review!
Without further ado, let’s start with this post.

Brennan Davis would like nothing more than to stay home and go to school, so she can keep her anxiety in check.
When the two accidentally meet the summer before they move away, theyโll push each other to come to terms with whatโs holding them back, even as theyโre pulled closer to taking the biggest leap of allโfalling in love.

What I liked
I liked the storyline a lot. Two random characters who couldn’t be more different. One living a real nightmare after a car accident and the other one being an introvert and hating all kind of social interaction (this does sound a bit familiar though!) and who has an anxiety disorder. Even with these (possibly) triggering themes the book was a light read. Cute, funny and I just couldn’t put it down. I had to read it in one sitting and I absolutely wanted to know what would happen to Brennan and Jonas. It was a cute read but the author still treated the important and triggering topics in a serious way. The book showed us how these young adults are coping with the problems in their life and their inner demon. It was refreshing to read about something like this especially the morale of the story and how you might manage your inner struggles.
I seriously loved the character growth of our amazing characters. I was so proud of these two and especially how they helped each other. It was great and don’t even get me started on the friendship part. Everything was amazing. And when I say everything I mean everything!
Last but not least, the writing style. It was perfect, the description was amazingly written. I fell in love with this book after the first sentence and I kind of was disappointed when it ended.
Overall, The Opposite of Falling Apart was a great Young Adult novel that I highly recommend. Plus there are some Harry Potter mentions so that’s a reason why you need to read this book.

“Here she was, Brennan at full brightness.”
