Fallen

“What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?”

Firstly, I really loved the book even though everybody says it's bad or a copycat of Twilight. Yes, I must admit Fallen and Twilight have many similar things. Daniel and Edward. Luce and Bella. The insta-love that ignites so fast. But nowadays, some books are written from that same plot, however, the narration and the writers' strategy are the most important to make their books different despite of the plot.

Fallen starts with a girl named Lucinda, though she preferred to be called Luce. She's sent to the school that everyone here ends up with their crime. She makes friends, though some of them hates her, Luce manages to pull off the attention of these two boys, Daniel and Cam. Cam is hot, he's the dark side of her love interest while Daniel is someone Luce can't even have because he tries to push her away all the time with no reasons. Yet Luce doesn't give up, she stalks him, digs up his past, and is angry when she thinks that Daniel belongs to another girl (which I think is kind of insane?). I've read lots of books and it disappointed me that it wasn't written well. The details per chapter was lacking at some points. Like, you have this kind of question in your mind as to what is happening and expects that it will be answered by the end of that chapter but it never was. It's as if the author wanted to prolong the story and she failed to answer all the questions she dumped between the chapters.

What made me like this book was the dynamic of the story, which is abundant and gripped me from the first page. That being said, Daniel is such a jerk when he first met Luce, he even flips her off and I thought, "How does this happen!?" Then the story continues to the part where Luce finds a truth about her past life and makes a stupid choice eventually, I hated her so much then. But I couldn't stop reading, I was incredibly addicted to this book. Anyway, Fallen has something that kept me plowing through it without stopping and looking back to what I've done or how I can finish this book without a break.

Admittedly I enjoyed Fallen more than I thought. Maybe it's the fact that I read book, the series rather, before watching the film, so it helped and guided me a lot about where I should expect or get the most out of it. Naturally, the pace is undeniably sluggish that you can skip the first half of the book and you'll surely understand the rest of it.

I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T FALL FOR THESE TWO HOT GUYS, RIGHT?
