The Friendly Fall: A Sweet Romcom by Kristine W. Joy-Romantic Comedy Review


 Book Synopsis

Swearing off men was easy—until the small-town fireman became my unexpected hero.

When I arrive in the small town of West Falls to live with my Granny, I’m determined to move past the job loss and breakup that brought me here.

But it only takes a fall through a ramp and a call to the local fire department to realize my streak of bad luck isn’t over.

To my surprise, the firefighter who rescues me turns out to be the same handyman my granny hires to fix the ramp he saved me from.

There’s something different about him—he’s warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind.

As our friendship grows, everyone around us seems to think we’re more than friends.

Despite my vow to stay single and avoid heartbreak, I can’t ignore the mounting pressure from my parents. And when a misunderstanding leads them to believe we’re a couple, I see an opportunity to ease their worries.

Just one weekend of fake dating should do the trick. Then we can pretend it never happened.

But what if our fake romance blurs the lines between friendship and love?

The Friendly Fall is a standalone small town, fake dating, closed-door romcom. It’s got all the cozy fall vibes you love and a cinnamon roll hero that will steal your heart.

My Review

The Friendly Fall is a lighthearted romance set in a small town, featuring a fake dating scenario filled with humor.

Eliza experiences a tough day when she loses her job and her boyfriend. Looking for a change, she visits her 80-year-old Grandma's town to heal and lend a hand. There, she meets Nick, a versatile bachelor who saves her on her first day. He is kind-hearted and helps everyone in town, quickly proving to be a good person. With his sweet and caring nature, it's hard not to like him. As they spend time together, feelings develop, which surprises both Nick and Eliza, leading them to insist they are "just friends." Readers will enjoy the journey of their budding relationship as they realize they make a great pair and root for their happiness, even if it takes a while for their romance to blossom.

Alongside Eliza and Nick, Eliza's funny Grandma Marilyn, Nick's mother, and his close friends, they all bring extra charm to the story.

If you're a fan of romantic comedies with fake dating, nosy family members, a hero who falls first, and some long-awaited kisses, you will enjoy The Friendly Fall.
