I absolutely adored this book, which was both a bit of a delightful surprise and the first step in laying a foundation of affection for everything that comes after this!

Here is a book that I have been looking forward to for a long time! Can't wait to read more by this author!

Watch Me Fall Apart was definitely a good book. It was written in a way that made you just relate to the characters and everything they had gone through and were going through. It was very well written, kept me engaged, and I’d definitely recommend.

Watch Me Fall Apart is the second book in the Scars Run Deep series from Lola Rooney. I had not read the first book (Put Me Back Together - I believe) and this book can definitely be read as a stand alone. I read this in 1 sitting and can honestly say I was impressed.

I love a good New Adult romance and I've found having read the genre now many years it can be hard to be original or even new when it comes to these books. Lola created some characters who I felt worked well though and who I loved reading about and that's why this really worked for me.

Sally is a VERY interesting character. I know we all love a bad boy in these books, but what about a bad girl? A girl who goes out, sleeps around, messes around behind her boyfriends back and doesn't give a f*ck. Yeah that kind character. I liked Sal from the get go but as you read, you come to find Sal isn't all she seems at all. In fact there's a hell of a back story there and that all starts when we hear about Billy (Whom I not going to talk about as that would spoil things). No story isn't right without some arm candy though, but which option A, B or C? Yes in this book you often will see Sally letting (A,B or C) or evening numbering (1,2 or 3) her choices/options. I kind of wished at times the author would stick to 1 or the other, but that was a pet hate and nothing else. Harrison is our book boyfriend for the course of this book and isn't my usual taste at all, but he really worked for me. I loved his back story and how he treated Sally.

The story has a really good pace. It deals with some sticky things which I don't want to add spoilers too but will say there is addiction there (Alcohol and drugs) and some other things that some readers may find are triggers. Sorry no spoilers other than that. The book was well written, the pace was perfect, the story kept me reading and I liked the characters. All round, Lola has done a good job on Watch Me Fall Apart and I thoroughly enjoyed it 4 stars.

I am a bit at odds with myself here. On one hand, I appreciate the huge growth Sally showed and the struggles that contributed. On the other, this seemed to have a slow build-up then a lot of action that was fairly hard to believe, then a too-quick and happy resolution. The person Sally avoids also might have been a bit too over-the-top overall, a little too one-dimensional.

I liked the characters and the comic book thing, but kind of wanted more. Like a tie-in to Forever. Why describe the series in such detail without a tie-in?

I also had a hard time figuring out the year this took place. Social media made her horrible event worse years before, but everyone had, at most, crap flip-phones? Why? And good luck finding a payphone post-2005...

Sexytimes were sweet when between Sally and Harrison, but too often between Sally and someone else. Not sure it was necessary or even traumatic enough, all things considered.

The description for this book did NOT prepare me for this. I was expected light hearted romance...good time girl meets geek guy...love follows. Instead I got deep story line full of unexpected things. While many times I wanted to stop reading the book, feeling like I couldn't take another thing....I'm glad that I kept reading. This is a really great book...emotional and heavy, but a great book.
