#BookReview: The Edge of Falling by Rebecca Serle

Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Yearscomes a dark and seductive novel about the dangers of obsessive love.

Caggie never wanted to be a hero, but some things are decided for us. Growing up among Manhattan’s social elite, Caggie always had everything she could want, including a storied last name. But after saving a girl from the brink of suicide, Caggie becomes infamous, and now all she wants is to be left alone.

After all, she’s still reeling from the death of her younger sister last January, the subsequent destruction of her relationship with her high school boyfriend, Trevor, and the way in which her family has since fallen apart.

So when mysterious Astor appears on the Upper East Side, he just might be the rescue she needs. But what is he hiding? As life as she knew it begins to unravel, Caggie realizes Astor’s past may be as dark as her own. And in a world in which she’s been branded a hero, Caggie will soon discover that no one can save you…not until you save yourself.

My Review: Sadly for me this one fell very flat.  I didn't really like the characters and the plot was just horrible.  I love books that deal with suicide because I myself had a brush with it years ago.  But this one was just so boring and I couldn't connect with the characters. 

Review

The Edge of Falling is a painful, lovely book . . . Like her heroine, Serle is a clear-eyed observer, and she depicts the inner life of a bruised city girl with intelligence, warmth and, best of all, real compassion.--Gabrielle Zevin "author of Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac"

If Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl had a baby, this book would be it! 

--Leila Sales, author of This Song Will Save Your Life "Seventeen Magazine"

A beautiful and surprising story about loss, friendship, and, ultimately, learning to fly.--Leila Sales, author of This Song Will Save Your Life "author of Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac"
