"I was still falling at unstoppable speeds- only in his arms, as his body claimed me without a single word spoken, I was suddenly falling....up"
Aly Martinez... If you wanted me to fall, then you have succeeded. I have indeed fallen. Fallen in love with your writing, stories, characters, and the raw emotions that you evoked through your words. And I will continue to fall for your books every single time. Aly's books has been somewhat an addiction for me. She never fails in delivering books that can grip you to the core, strip you naked and make you FEEL. And in her newest standalone, The Fall Up, Aly Martinez DELIVERED. She more than delivered. She held me HOSTAGE as she drowned me in one of the most heartfelt, beautiful, touching stories that I have read.
"No words were exchanged. Everything had been said as we both came on the gasp of the other's name. I'd claimed her. And, in turn, she owned me. It was almost as exhilarating as it was terrifying. Almost."
The Fall Up is truly one of those reads that you want to savor and re-read again. In this spellbinding tale, Aly perfectly weaves a romance like no other. A romance that was palpable and tangible right from the start when two strangers meet on the ledge of a bridge. An unconventional meeting of two broken people. A young woman who is lost in her guilt, pain, and loss. And a man who feels the need to help with his Spiderman complex.
"She wasn't the princess. And I wasn't the pauper. She was just a sad girl who liked to write songs. And I was nothing more than a simple guy who was lucky enough to have made her fall in love with him."
On a cold rainy night in San Francisco, Levee Williams meets a tattooed stranger, who saves her. Saves her from taking that jump. The jump to end it all. When Sam interrupts Levee from these thoughts to jump, he saves her in more ways than he knows. Whenever he sees Sam on the bridge, he continues to disrupt her and forms a special friendship with her. When Levee finally takes Sam offer to get a late night snack, she finally lets her guard down. As Sam learns of her true identity as Levee Williams, the pop star celebrity, he doesn't seem faze of her celebrity status. All he sees is Levee. Levee, the beautiful brown eye girl who stole his heart the moment he laid eyes on her. The girl who has bewitched him with her beauty, honesty, witty personality and vulnerability.
"Levee, I'll tell you anything you want to know as long as it means you're with me to keep asking."
As Sam and Levee embark on a relationship, a connection is formed. A deep raw tangible bond where there are not enough words to describe this connection they feel for another. A connection of peace, of hope, of love, and new beginnings. As they continue to fall for each other, Levee must face with the realization of the truth. The truth that she needs help. If she wants any chance to have a real relationship with Sam, Levee goes to a rehab facility to help deal with her anxiety and depression. As Levee undergoes her treatment, will it be enough to keep her off the ledge? Will she let her issues prevent her from truly living her life and the possible chance at love? Or will she find herself falling in love with Sam Rivers?
"Hell, I could probably pretend for the rest of my life if he continued to hold me the way he did. Kiss me the way he did. Touch me the way he did. Save me the way he did."
The Fall Up has to be one of my favorite books that Aly has written. Aly has once again perfectly weaved an emotional and heartfelt story-line with witty humor and of course sexy steamy scenes. This book is definitely a book that needs to be read, experienced, and savored. I loved every aspect of this book from the raw and flawed characters to the emotional heartstrings that can tug your heart. As I stated earlier in my review, Aly Martinez will hold your hearts and attention hostage. She will grip you with a love story that will leave you breathless. A story that will make you want a real life Sam Rivers to catch your fall. So if you are looking for a book where the author tackles an important issue in such a deep and profound way, you NEED to READ this book.

I enjoy Aly's writing because she knows how to deliver a relatable story through captivating writing. From personal experience I know how it truly feels to feel like it's the end of everything; like everything is closing in on you that it's suffocating. Anxiety can be controlled if you get the right help and surround yourself with positive vibes and push away all the negativity to be able to move forward and not live in the pass.
Another great novel by Aly! I recommend this story to anyone looking for an emotional love story that lives a good cry.
