Fallen Over Book Reviews

I received this book to give an honest review.
I have been hearing a lot about books that deal with stepbrothers and at first I was like say what? I didn't understand the hype. That is until I received this book, then I knew what everyone was talking about. I feel like I am behind on the times of what readers like lol. But any who on to the review.

Brielle and Carter have been friends since they were little and in a sandbox. Carter has always liked her and even approached her one time to ask her out which she turned him down. How sad right? Because then she ends up dating some other guy. We read as Brielle goes through life goading Carter along and like a lost little puppy he follows her. We see as Brielle slowly self destructs and it seems like Carter the good guy is always there for her if and when she needs him even though it breaks his heart. I so wished that Carter would just find someone else but Brielle is always on his mind.
Brielle is one of those girl characters you want to feel sorry for but at the same time you wanna cut the b.... for hurting such a good guy that any woman would love to be with.
As time progresses Brielle's mother and Carter's dad end up marrying and hence this is how they become step-related. Even though the parents are married that doesn't stop Brielle from torturing poor Carter.
Then tragedy hits the family and Brielle runs off leaving Carter to clean up the mess. Carter's life is no longer how he expected it to be and he becomes in charge. We watch as Carter grows up and becomes a man but Brielle is never too far from his mind. And of course we all know what happens next the girl comes right back into his life and they go back through the up and down and all around. But with her being back will they even be together or will Carter be left by himself?

I have to say this was a great book and I enjoyed it. Now the whole step-related thing kind of threw me off a bit but I had to keep telling myself THEY ARE NOT RELATED!!! Would I read more yes. Being as this is from Carter's P.O.V. I want to read Brielle's version and see if maybe just maybe she can redeem herself from being the character I didn't like.
