"Be My Downfall is daring and different, a unique offering into the New Adult fray, and one not to be missed." - Jasinda Wilder, NYT and USAToday Bestselling Author of Falling Into You. --- Toby Wright has always prided himself on being one of the most normal guys at Whitman University. He loves his parents, has a great job lined up after graduation, and with the exception of attempting to cross the unbalanced Sebastian Blair sophomore year, has kept his nose pretty clean.But the rich never have empty closets, and memories long stashed away come spilling free when notorious party girl Kennedy Gilbert almost dies in his dorm room.Nobody really knows how Kennedy manages to stay in good standing at Whitman-she never goes to class, doesn't pretend to care about her future, and as far as people can tell, is never sober. This isn't her first meeting with a stomach pump, but it is the first time she's woken up to Toby's concerned brown eyes. Despite the fact that she prefers life without friends, he gets under her skin with his insistence on playing her guardian angel.No one knows better than Toby that people can only be saved if they want to be, but the realization that she has no one else draws him back into the shadows of Kennedy's life-and eventually into her bed. But she long ago came to terms with a truth that Toby refuses to accept: she doesn't want to be rescued, she only wants to forget.Unwilling to give up on her, Toby's dragged under by this broken girl and her dark, twisted Whitman University he never guessed existed. If he struggles to the surface, he'll abandon someone he loves for the second time in his life. If he doesn't, it won't be long until they both drown.

4.0 Be My Downfall
3.5 starsI fought against this one, I didn't want to like it but in the end...I did. This is SOLIDLY new adult. That means if you like this genre as a whole, this one will be right up your tree. It's all angsty, emotional and character driven. I sense the rest of this series is not so, because the r...

5 starsThis book was heavy. Quite emotional at that. A part of me died reading this book. I was close to cry but I didn't because I'm that strong. Although in my heart, I wept.I must say, this one's the best in the series so far. I liked the characters. The connection I had with them was fantastic. ...

What an emotional book. Talk about ups and downs and never knowing what someone would do next. This book wore me out emotionally and I loved it! Great characters, great story and as always great writing. Full review to follow for the blog tour.

Be My Downfall is the best by far from this series – book cover and story wise. It has the depth with the complications and feels. It has the toughest set of characters. Though the storyline was already used plenty of times and the way things were settled was pretty abrupt for my taste, the overall ...
