Fall for Him
Fall for Him: A Novel | Andie Burke
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn’t enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension. Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor’s bed probably means that’s unlikely to change. The poorly timed “It’s Raining Men” joke didn’t help. Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang’s life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek’s own apartment’s plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting. Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan’s sure he’s not Derek’s type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible—avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek’s been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster...or just prove they’re made for each other? Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles.

I really liked these two leads, their romance, and how the story delves into grief (death of a parent and close friend) and mental health (ADHD and anxiety). The banter is very funny, if it does feel a bit like *all* the characters have the same sense of humour after a while. But there is one issue I REALLY hope is fixed before this publishes (Sept): a scene with cops that depicts them as gay-friendly, nice, reasonable. Pure pinkwashing copaganda

Bookzombie I stacked this but hope that is changed too. 4mo

Oops the two print books I'm already reading were out of reach when my baby fell asleep on me yesterday, so I started this queer romance and now I'm reading three, plus an audiobook! At least now I have variety: one nonfiction, one romance, and one horror. How many books do you all read at the same time?

slategreyskies Actively, usually two or three, although I do have this not-yet-finished book graveyard that has a total of eleven in it right now. But some of them I haven‘t picked up in eight or nine months. I‘m just determined to finish them someday, so I‘m stubbornly not tagging them as a DNF and moving on. 4mo
Suet624 I am mostly comfortable reading just one. 🥴 4mo
Ruthiella Usually three to five. Very rarely one and occasionally up to eight! 😬 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly Usually three! One paper book, one ebook, and one reread (usually an ebook) to soothe my brain before sleep. I don‘t really know why, but I love being able to switch between paper and ebook as the whim takes me—or as my hands are full of dinner and it‘s too hard to hold the paper book open. 4mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @slategreyskies a book graveyard, love it! 4mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Ruthiella okay so I'm not the only one that occasionally has 3 or more on the go! 4mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Clare-Dragonfly I always at least have a print book and an audiobook on the go, so I hear you! Sometimes I switch between audio and print! 4mo
