About the Author
I absolutely love books and have become an unexpected author. It all started when I couldn’t find a book that piqued my interest, so I decided to write my own novel, Falling into You.
Since then, I’ve become addicted to writing and can’t stop tapping away at my keyboard. Aside from my passion for writing, I cherish spending time with my loved ones, indulging in a good romance novel, sipping on iced coffee or red wine, and occasionally indulging in some trashy TV.

Lauren Abrams’ Falling into Forever is a charming and emotional novel that explores the themes of love, friendship, loss and the power of human connection. The novel was first published on April 17, 2013, and has since garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
The novel is a heartwarming romance that is perfect for readers looking for a touching and poignant story. Falling into Forever follows the story of 23-year-old investment banker, Max Prescott, who moves from Manhattan to San Francisco for a fresh start after a painful breakup.
Max meets Ella, a beautiful and free-spirited woman, who he falls head over heels in love with. Together, Max and Ella navigate the ups and downs of their budding relationship, all the while dealing with their personal struggles and demons.
The novel is set against the backdrop of San Francisco’s beautiful hills, and the vivid descriptions of the city create an immersive experience for the reader. Lauren Abrams has done an excellent job with the character development in Falling into Forever.
Max Prescott is a relatable and likable protagonist who is dealing with the common issues of a young professional trying to find his footing in the world. Ella is an equally engaging character with a unique personality that is both charming and enigmatic.
Their chemistry jumps off the page, and readers will find themselves rooting for Max and Ella to overcome the various obstacles that arise throughout the story. Abrams also does a great job of introducing a supporting cast of characters that add depth and complexity to the plot.
One of the strengths of Abrams’ writing is the pacing of the plot. The novel doesn’t rely on cheap plot twists to keep the reader engaged; instead, Abrams creates tension and intrigue through her characters’ interactions and development.
The dialogue is sharp and snappy, and the prose is clean and engaging. The novel is an easy read, but it doesn’t sacrifice depth or emotional resonance for accessibility.
While Falling into Forever is a romance novel at its core, the themes explored in the story are relatable to readers of all ages and backgrounds. The novel explores the concepts of grief and loss, mental illness, and the importance of self-discovery.
Through Max and Ella’s story, the novel reminds readers of the power of human connection and how the right person can change one’s life forever. As with any novel, there are areas for improvement.
Some readers may find the plot predictable, and the novel doesn’t introduce any groundbreaking themes or ideas. However, these issues don’t detract from the overall emotional impact and charm of the story.
