The Upside of Falling Down eBook Rebekah Crane Reviews

• As one who grew up in Ohio and lived for a few years of her adult life in Cleveland, my love for this book may be a tad biased. A story where a girl escapes from Ohio to Ireland sounds about right to me. I loved the way Crane painted the picture of Ireland - its quaint towns, beautiful landscaping, and culture - and how the author anchors the main character's upbringing in Cleveland, Ohio.
  
  "The only therapy a Clevelander needs is beer. Takes care of all your pain at half the cost."
  Accurate.
  
  The romance is sweet. The banter is funny. The reader can feel the struggle the main character has trying to find who she is as she battles amnesia. The wrap up of the story came a bit abruptly, but still a story totally worth reading.
  
  "You always need a spare tire in Cleveland. For the pot holes of life."
  Also accurate.
• The sole survivor of a plane that crashed in Ireland from America wakes up with amnesia. Her lovely nurse is gentle and kind with her, and lets her have a quick moment to prepare herself for meeting her father once he arrives at the hospital to collect her.
  
  She believes he's her dad--and seems nice enough from what she can tell while peeking around the corner at him--but she can't look this stranger in the eye and cause him more hurt with her lack of emotional ties with him. So she takes off, talking a hospital volunteer into letting her stay with him until her memory comes back and she can be herself when she reunites with her dad for good.
  
  In the process of waiting to find out who she was, she discovers who she wants to be.
  
  Rebekah Crane has a way of writing what seems like easy reading, but weaves quirkiness and serious issues in with a deft hand that makes them have just the right weight when they hit. A fun read with romance, family, and finding yourself.
• Rebekah Crane has, once again, given me characters to love, a location that I could see and feel and a story I couldn’t put down. My only complaint is that the story made me late for work!
• I loved this story! I fell in love with the whole cast of characters—from the delightfully curmudgeon sister, to the kind nurse, to the supportive shop-owner, to the love interest, Kieran—who, for all his understandable faults, would totally be my new book boyfriend...if I was a teenager, of course. I rooted for Clementine the whole way and loved that even though she was confused, she was MIGHTY (!), and she faced her challenges as such. And, finally, I loved entrenching myself in the wonderful world of Ireland for a bit. A twisty-turny, big-hearted, utterly delightful read.
• A wonderful escape into the world of Ireland. This roller coaster of a ride leaves you breathless but satisfied. Highly recommended!
• I love this author, but had started to worry about the similarities between her books getting too repetitious. This book proved that worry unfounded. This takes you on gun ride with character traits she enjoys writing about, but the characters are on a different adventure. Questions, lost memories, a journey of finding themselves - okay a lot like most of her books, but there is enough twists to put this book in a category all of it's own. This has probably became my favorite of hers and like Grover Cleveland, leaving me wanting to know so much more.
• This is the kind of story that is impossible to put down! The characters are so well written and I had such a clear image of each as I read along (I will miss them!). I highly recommend this read!!! The authors story as it wove through love, friendship and loss in Ireland is truly one I’ll never forget. Now there’s just one thing left to do...plan a trip to Ireland!
• This is book is an adorable story that provides insights into the difficulty of understanding who we are and what our purpose is. Rebekah Crane, yet again, delivers excellent character development and intrigue into how the novel will end. I was unable to put this book down! Additionally, the book was set in Ireland which I found to be unique and extremely well researched, as the setting was impactful in the story. Would recommend to individuals of all ages who are looking for a light-hearted and funny book to read.
