Somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars for me. We follow our main character as she transitions from being a big city girl to temporarily living in a sweet small town (major Gilmore Girls vibes here!), and she bumps into a guy she shared her first kiss with years ago. The fall vibes were spot on! There’s a fall festival they're prepping for, which was a fun backdrop. I listened to "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" by Misty Wilson on audiobook, and I think if I had read it, I wouldn’t have ...

3.5 starsA cute and cozy read. I absolutely adored the small-town setting, all the autumnal vibes, and the fun activities the characters got up to. Honestly, that's the main reason I picked up "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" by Misty Wilson, and it totally delivered in that regard. It made me want to pack my bags and become part of their lovely little community!Ellis did get on my nerves a bit at times, especially toward the end. She can be so stubborn and selfish! The storyline is pre...

I'm torn on "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" by Misty Wilson. On one hand, I absolutely adored the autumnal atmosphere and the setting was fantastic! The story flowed nicely, and there were some genuinely fun moments. However, the drama felt a bit excessive, Ellis, the main character, came across as inconsistent and selfish, and the romance fell a little flat. Misty Wilson's writing style is engaging, but overall, it felt pretty standard. I really enjoyed reading about all the fun fall ...

If you’re reading this, add "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" to your fall TBR! I'm just a girl who picked this up because of the cover. I'm so glad I did. ┏━━━━━❂ what to expect ❂━━━━━┓ ❥ YA romance (I have no idea why I thought this was an adult romance lol) ❥ ALL of the fall vibes: apple picking, pumpkin patches, a corn maze, bonfires, lots of warm coffees, cute fall clothing, going back to school, chilly weather, homecoming dances, football games ❥ small town setting ❥ childhood ...

4/5 stars!This was honestly one of the CUTEST young adult books I've picked up in ages! I don't usually vibe with YA these days because the characters' problems often feel so distant from my own life, but *Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)* by Misty Wilson was just...so good! It deals with so many realistic struggles while still managing to keep things fun and lighthearted.If you loved *Better Than the Movies*, you'll absolutely adore this, because it almost felt like *Falling Like Leaves ...

A cute fall read! Nothing groundbreaking, but I had a good time! If you're looking for a cozy autumn book, Misty Wilson's "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" is a solid choice. This isn't going to win any literary awards, but it's a pleasant escape. Definitely a fun book review to write!

5 Stars! \"I meant I didn’t want you to chase me anymore because I don’t want to be running. I just want to be with you.” 🥹I genuinely loved this book so much. The vibes were absolutely perfect for fall. It's giving serious Gilmore Girls vibes! 🍂☕️Ellis temporarily moves from NYC to the small town of Bramble Falls, Connecticut, with her mom after her parents separate. Her aunt and cousin live there, and her aunt is actually the mayor! Ellis has visited a few times before, the last time being ...

🍁🍂 Happy Release Day!! 🍁🍂July 3, 2025 Review:I really enjoyed this cozy autumn novel. It was so cute and sweet, brimming with all the wonderful fall vibes. "Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1)" by Misty Wilson is a medium-paced read that I found to be lighthearted, funny, emotional, and relaxing. I'm always up for an autumn read, no matter the time of year! I found this book to be a perfect blend of relaxation and emotional tension. It was filled with lovable characters, especially the m...

2.75 stars ⭐⤷ Mini spoiler-free review!! ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ My thoughtsI didn’t hate "Falling Like Leaves" by Misty Wilson, but I didn’t love it either. I enjoyed the small-town fall vibes and the premise, but Ellis, our FMC, was pretty insufferable (yes, this is exactly what I wrote in my review for The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn because the two books felt very similar). She spent most of the story living in her own little bubble, thinking only of herself. I get her frustration about being caught betw...
