About this listen

Fall Away with this addictive series from the bestselling author of PUNK 57.

New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas delivers an unforgettable romance that toes the fine line between love and hate.

My name is Tate.

He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone.

We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumours got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.

But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin another year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.

Read the whole series in order:
BULLY; UNTIL YOU; RIVAL; FALLING AWAY; AFLAME (novella); NEXT TO NEVER (novella)

It touches on the trauma of high school relationships, first loves and broken hearts, and most importantly, how to be with someone without losing yourself." (Helena Hunting, author of The Good Luck Charm)

"A wonderfully addictive read that kept my heart racing from start to finish. I could not put it down!" (Aestas Book Blog)

"A heated and passionate novel, full of feeling and intensity that will appeal to the reader seeking an emotional rush." (IndieReader)

I really enjoyed the storyline for this book and the pacing. The characters are also interesting and it is not too stereotypical. I didn’t really enjoy the narrator who read this book but it was still a great read overall. I would definitely recommend it for mid to late teens.

Love this book so much

great book but the narrator was whiny in parts that almost ruined the book for me.

This book was a hard slog to get through. It was hard to know if I was rooting for the main character or not. It’s an easy, quick read but not overall memorable. I found through the book that it would be more interesting from the MMC’s point of view. The author does have a book from his perspective however this book was not enough to convince me to read it as all the characters only seem surface level.

Great pallet cleanser
