Fall into Place by Kristyn J. Miller: Review

This year’s flying by so fast that reading a fall romance is not that big of a stretch. Cooler weather is within reach already. This year is flying by so fast that reading a fall romance is not that big of a stretch. Cooler weather is within reach already.

With a cover like this one, it really calls to you to dive into this second chance romance. This is the first time reading this author, so I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the story. Check out my complete review below.

OVERVIEW:
Lenore’s life is falling apart. Propelled home from Manhattan to rural Vermont to spend one final autumn at her family’s historic apple orchard before it’s sold, Lenore struggles to say goodbye. Not only to French Hill Farm, but to everything that once inspired her art. Soon enough, entries in her late grandmother’s journal reignite memories of Lenore’s childhood―and the crush on the groundskeeper’s son she’s since tried to forget.

Callan’s path has been laid out for him for as long as he can remember: live, work, and die in Whitbury, Vermont. He’s taken over for his father as the groundskeeper at French Hill Farm, but now that it’s soon to be sold, his future has turned abruptly uncertain. The last thing he needs is a distraction―like Lenore French showing up out of the blue, looking even better than he remembered. As his best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off limits, and the last time they saw each other, he blew his chance anyway.

Lenore has long believed that her dreams are too big for the small town she grew up in―the same town Callan believes he can never outrun. But one last autumn together could paint their hometown―and each other―in a brand new light.

Fall into Place by Kristyn J. Miller Review

Kristyn Miller has an incredible ability to write a story that is beautifully subtle in its impact on your life as you’re reading it.

Oftentimes we hear the word “cozy” when it is a mystery. But this story is a slow burn, healing romance that is loaded with feeling and emotion. A story that you want to continue so you can become truly a part of the characters’ lives.

The story is about healing and finding your place in the world. About finding out who a loved one truly is. It’s about understanding grief, accepting who you are, and not being afraid to love.

This book is written in a dual point of view, and I absolutely love the characters. Through them, we learn to understand that love is also about caring for others. It’s about connection with someone you can’t and don’t want to live without.

All of the characters in this book are special. Miller’s writing is effortless and beautiful. She knows how to pull you into the atmosphere and envelop you in the world she’s created, making it tough to close the cover and move on to the next story.

Fall into Place is a sweet, small-town, second-chance romance with all of the awkwardness and feels. You have to read the story if you love family connections, rekindling love, and special relationships.
