In the weeks leading up to graduation, I was the single-most hated member of my senior class. I was the girl who’d driven the school’s golden boy to his demise. I was the girl who’d done something sordid and shameful. Exposed in a cruel and very public way, I was the girl who got what she deserved.
I’m Carolyn. This is my story, and believe it or not, there’s a happy ending—even for someone like me.
Let Me Fall is a coming of age, new adult romance in Lily Foster’s Let Me series.
Recommended for readers 17 and older due to mature sexual content.

Let Me Fall is Jeremy and Carolyn’s story. It’s heart wrenching! My heart was breaking so many times for both of them.
Carolyn is the perfect girl, she has her life all planned out. She’s in AP classes and she’s got the perfect boyfriend and is the girl you would vote “Most Likely To Succeed”, but is everything always as perfect as it seems? After she begins to figure out what she truly wants and decides to go for it, it seems life has other plans for her.
Jeremy is an outsider, he’s always felt like he didn’t belong. When he got sent away in the sixth grade, that’s when the rumors began. Now that he’s back he doesn’t know where he fits in, but he does know that football is his outlet and that’s his main goal for now. He’s content with the way his life is, even though it feels like something is missing.
After Carolyn and Jeremy have a few interactions the feelings and chemistry between the two are instant and electric. Could it work? The perfect straight A student and the outsider? What about her boyfriend? Is he worthy of her? Is she worthy of him?
When life throws things at you, you can either let it define you, ruin you, or you can take it in stride and learn to deal with it.
This book really got to me. I didn’t think my heart could hurt so much, but this book proved me wrong. My heart hurt tremendously for both Jeremy and Carolyn. I was completely blown away by this book and these two characters!! I’m just in awe of how raw and real this book was. I was captivated and couldn’t put it down.
A must read
A poignant and gripping story of young people whose lives were intertwined from their earliest years. Some friendships build and last. Others are never healthy and the hurts and wounds build up over the years. Childhood to teens to young adulthood in this story. Love and hate blossom and thrive. Lives are lost and hearts are crushed. Relationships ebb and flow. It’s all here. Wonderful read that is well written and well edited. Deserves to be read and enjoyed!
You really could not see what was coming around the corner with this book. This is right up there with Jen Armentrout’s -Wait for Me- as one of my favorite new adult romances. I absolutely fell in love with Jeremy and Carolyn.
Wasn’t expecting to be so totally sucked in like I was by this one. A very well written coming of age story with characters I was totally rooting for.
Absolutely Amazing Book
This is book five in The Let Me Series and it is Carolyn and Jeremy’s story and omg you are in for an emotional ride full of difficult situations written in a very sensitive way that breaks your heart. Jeremy had a hard time at school due to be dyslexic and ended up going to a special school where he thrived but he was always classed as the bad boy even though he was kind, thoughtful, gruff and loyal to the people that he cares about. Carolyn was a quiet, smart, serious and kind but she wished that she could express herself better and she also had feelings for Jeremy but didn’t know how to show him in case he rejected her not knowing that Jeremy felt the same way but he also didn’t do anything about it. Carolyn started going out with Drew after some pressure but after being together for a while she knew that she didn’t want to be with him anymore as she wanted to be with Jeremy so she broke up with him and then everything exploded when something happened to Drew and Will that would completely tears Carolyn’s life apart starting a train reaction that took her three years to come to terms with everything that had happened. Three years later and Carolyn was a lot better and she had managed to come through most things but she missed Jeremy so much and had thought of him every day throughout the years. Will Carolyn and Jeremy get a second chance of has to much time passed for them both. Omg I absolutely loved this book and it was so emotional that I cried so many times with everything that had happened and what Carolyn had gone through and I couldn’t put this book down as it was a real page turner that had me addicted right from the first page until the last. Lily Foster is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will definitely not be disappointed as she certainly knows how to keep her reader’s attention and on the edge of their seats while reading her books.
I couldn’t put this book down. It’s refreshing to read a book with a good story to it. I liked that it was a longer than the typicall ebook. No cliff hanger which was wonderful too.
Really enjoyed this book!!!!
Captivating story of tragedy, rebuilding and reconnecting. Author deals with high school cliques, tragedy, mental illness, dyslexia, and fate!
I loved Carolyn and Jeremy, and hope to see them in the final book in this series. Jeremy and Carolyn had to overcome all types of obstacles to their love. And in the afterword, the author hints that there might be a few more adventures in store for this happy couple. I’m staying tuned!….
Once I started, I could not put it down.
Loved the story 🙂

Terrific storyline
Was ok
well-written and fun to read.
I see this is now free but I read it a while ago. It’s such a great read. I still think about the characters (especially Jeremy) and I think about the story even though I read this a few months ago.
