A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

First of all. A huge thankyou to Netgalley, the publishers and Nina Wynter for the change to read and rate this book!

When i first started to read this book, I had a feeling it was just your typical romance book. Guess I was very, very wrong.
Holly is an amazing person, and I loved reading about her teaching besides all the romance.
And I guess that I found myself a new bookboyfriend because, Oh My God. That’s just it.
Catherine and Lydia are just the best of friends a girl can ever wish for.
The thing about this book was that it was so recognizable, which scared me a little bit sometimes.

The only thing I struggled with was the ‘will they/won’t they’ situation that went on too long for me.
But overall. I really, really liked this book!

3.5/5 stars

This book...where do I even begin? This book was like being put on a roller coaster, blind folded with no lever to hold on to. This one seriously had me all over the place and I'm pretty sure I broke my neck from whiplash. This book made me really laugh out loud, made me want to cry, and made me say FINALLY out loud. There would be certain points in the book where things are going well, then suddenly, everything blows up on the next page. But wait! Three chapters go by and it’s back to normal. I'm pretty sure this writer was trying to see how much we could take until our brains exploded on us.

Did I like this book? Absolutely. Would I compare it also to being tortured? Definitely. The way that the MMC and the FMC kept going back and forth with one another, I was like
"Okay, here it goes, its finally going to happen!" Then suddenly one of them just walks away or says I can't do this....Like WHAT. The way I wanted to somehow bring these charters to life, just to strangle them. Also, miss Nina really took "slow burn" literally and didn't give us their conclusion until the very last chapter. Also, how can you not have an epilogue?! I need to know what happens either five months or five years from now? What happened with Aaron and the acupuncturist? Do certain charters who get together stay together? What about Hollys dad? There was so much left unanswered which will forever drive me absolutely bonkers.

All in all, I did enjoy this book. It was a super quick read for me and it was truly a second chance romance. But the back and forth between Holly and Alex was a lot. I JUST WANTED THEM TO GET TOGETHER SOONER OKAY...and also and epilogue

This story was very confusing. While I liked the flashback style interspaced with the narrative, I think it went to waste based on how the book ended. The story kept pushing the necessary confrontations back and back, distracting the reader with new plot twists and uncovering past trauma for the FMC to explain her current attitude. This did the narrative a disservice, as it diluted the powerful story that could have happened between her and the male lead. Furthermore, the narrative ended too abruptly. It's like the author built all this tension and drama, but kept backtracking through small "glimpses" of resolution and then imploding again, only for the end to just have the two characters reconnecting and not really talking. It seems that the plot resolution was done behind the scenes, not being shown to the reader. This only made me disconnect further from the two characters. Overall, the story started well, but the ending was messy, and the romantic resolution was not convincing to me.

The book was easy to read, but some parts i felt lost reading it. Because sometimes i didn't understood why the main characters had some atitudes. Also i think they said "i love you" too soon, because they were 10 years apart how could they know. Loved the tension between the main characters, it was the best part. Still, the book was really enjoyable.
Rating: 3.75⭐

I really enjoyed this book! The characters are likeable and you can’t help but hope Holly and Alex get back together! I really liked the flashbacks as it allowed us to see the young love starting! This was a great book and I’d like to read more by this author!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and author for an advanced copy of this book,
Still Falling for You by Nina Wynter.
This was a cute, quick read. I really liked Holly, although do wish she had a bit more of backbone at times. My opinion of Alex went back and forth depending on the situation. He was very hot and cold. Their lack of communication was frustrating and I felt like it could/should have been dealt with sooner. I also feel like the ending was too abrupt. There needed to be another chapter or at least an epilogue. There was so much going on at the end that it felt like it was lacking something.
I enjoyed Holly’s friendships and found many part of the book humorous. I will definitely read more of Nina Wynter’s work.
4⭐️

Well, I have a lot to say about this book ! Okay, not gonna lie...I went into Still Falling for You expecting your typical mentor/teacher romance, but it totally surprised me. It’s sweet, a little messy in the best way, and gave me major comfort read vibes. Holly is this brand new teacher just trying to survive, and then boom !!! She finds out her mentor is Alex, her first love. Cue the awkward tension… and I ate it up:)

What I really liked: – the slow-burn tension
1) the cozy atmosphere (seriously felt like a warm blanket kind of read)
2) and quotes like this one that straight-up hurt:

“I never stopped falling for you. I just learned to fall quietly.”

Like??? Please. My heart. I was dying

A small downside for me was the miscommunication.. there were a few times where I just wanted them to sit down and actually talk. It dragged things out a bit, but I get that it was part of the whole second-chance vibe.

Overall though, I really enjoyed it. It's a soft, emotional story with characters that feel real and flawed in a good way. Definitely recommend if you're into second-chance romances with just the right amount of angst and sweetness.

I LOVE A TEACHER ROMANCE! Anything that has forbidden love in, I will delve straight into. This had me kicking my feet and giggling the whole time. Would definitely recommend over and over again to a lot of people I know.

Newly qualified teacher Holly's life unravels when her boyfriend's betrayal coincides with the loss of her dream job.Seeking a fresh start, she relocates to a modest bedsit and begins anew. Unexpectedly, her new role introduces her to Alex, her first love and now her mentor. As they navigate their complex history, Holly and Alex confront past wounds and explore the possibility of rekindled romance. This swoony second-chance romance serves up heartbreak, healing, and a whole lot of heat - because some sparks never really fizzle out.

My feelings about Alex changed a lot during the book. I really appreciated the softer, light-hearted side of him, but I wasn't a fan of his serious side unless he was helping Holly out of a difficult situation. I would have liked to see much more of the light side compared to the serious side.

A romance novel about teachers who work in the same school? I had to say yes to this book. I love a good second-chance novel and this one did not disappoint. Wynter created characters that are likable and relatable and made you root for them. I wish that the conflict between the MCs had wrapped up a bit sooner in the book so that we could see them longer in happier times, but even so this was a great read.

Thank you for this arc I appreciate it hugely.
So first off I'm going to say I really liked both the FMC(holly) and the MMC (Alex) and I got involved into the story line because I wanted to hear about their past and what happened and all the trauma. Alex and Holly were unfortunately driving me a bit bonkers at times because this books main trope is Miscommunication which is my least favorite because if they would just speak to each other properly then a lot of the issues would of been solved.
The feelings for each other after 10years is believable to a point of it showed how they re caught feelings if you get what I mean? Holding on for 10years when you've both grown up and changed it a lot.
But I'm glad they had a proper conversation in the end of the book xx
I did enjoy it.,was just a few details testing me x

First off I want to thank Nina Wynter, Netgalley and her publisher for supplying me with an ARC of Still Falling for You. I received this with the understanding that I do not have to post any reviews but they would appreciate if I did.

I would probably rate this closer to a 3.75✨ but rounded up. The spice was a 1, as it was like a closed door/fade to black type of book. But there is still quite a bit of steam and tension! The story was really good and had so many lol moments. The banter and snark between characters was amazing. The FMC and MMC had a lot of trauma from different aspects in their lives but the biggest thing that came between them was miscommunication/lack of communicating with each other. Which is one of my least favorite tropes. With that said, Alex is so cute and sweet, even when he is being an *rse. Holly is also sweet and they are both so kind. I was rooting for them even when they were being hot and cold with each other. And when I found out the whole story of what came between them the first time I cried, it broke my heart. I wanted to hug their younger selves and tell them that they will be ok. In the end they finally talked it all the way through, which is where the story ended. I was hoping for an epilogue that would flash forward, any amount of time, so I could see where they went from there. I love a good epilogue because I like to see their HEA playing/played out.

Overall, this book was not bad. I liked the writing style, it was easy to follow and quick to read. I was interested in finding out what happened when they were teenagers, so I didn't want to stop reading! I enjoyed having some "flashbacks" along the story, as it made the romance between Holly and Alex more believable. Holly was a good character, it took me a little bit to warm up to her but I loved her when she started standing up and putting herself first. I loved Holly's friends (Cam and Lydia), and the moments with her mum and dad towards the end. I hated Aaron and I just wanted to scream and fight on Holly's behalf! I liked Alex but felt that his character needed a little bit more development or "screen time" as an adult, because we get so much of his life as a teenager, but I know absolutely nothing about adult Alex apart from the fact that he is assistant head at the school.

I would have liked to see more romance taking place during the present, it was a bit lacking because they basically just see each other after 10 years, and all the feelings are still there like no time had passed, which I mean, it's not bad, but people change and live a lot in 10 years! So it would have made it more enjoyable to me if we could see how those feelings slowly come back due to their interactions, rather than just immediately (even though they keep denying their feelings). I felt like the majority of their interactions ended up being negative one way or the other.

I typically enjoy slow burn books, and I like the second chance romance trope, but OH MY GOD, this was frustrating! I think because most of the issues are due to miscommunication and they could be solved with a conversation between them, but nooooo, they didn't bother to have a proper talk until the very end! I like a little bit of back and forth, but it got to be too much. The main reason for their problems was something that happened when they were 17, and I think as adults they could have just sat down and talked about it to clear the air, especially if they had to work together and keep a professional relationship. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I was just happy that they finally got together!

Thanks to NetGalley, The Book Guild, and Nina Wynter for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

"When we get to her office, Jane rummages through lost items and finds me a green T-shirt that fits snugly around my torso. It's embarrassing because I'm ninety-nine percent sure that it belonged to a child."

Still Falling for You by Nina Wynter is a second-chance workplace romance. I loved the premise, but the book fell flat. The FMC was the ultimate pick me and ultimately made the book really hard to read.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I would’ve given less stars but the writing is good, the pacing is good. Just the way it slow burn and the back and firth was frustrating to read.

Holly has had bad luck with job and men, and to trace it all because of her dad and 17yo boyfriend seems awfully heavy of a burden. But there her baggage.

She is, however surrounded by some good friends in Catherine & Lydia. Vicky was always been separated in the friends group and that was glaringly obvious.

My beef is that, I understand this is a slow burn - second chance book. But the back and forth, I hate you/ I want you just too whiplashed for me. There’s like a 3rd act squeezed at the end, why?! That could’ve been earlier in the point of the story.

Thanks to NetGalley & The Book Guild for the ARC

The premise for this book is interesting and was an easy read. I found the relationship to be lacking some communication (which is common in enemy to lovers), but that can be seen as a very human trait.

I also struggled with the character names, I felt many were introduced together and it caused some confusion for me.

There was some great banter which always makes a book worth reading. I have high hopes for future books from Nina Wynter

I have received this book from NetGalley as an eArc, all opinions are my own

This was a cute book, easy to read, good for fans of early 2000s rom-coms and British culture. Still Falling for You is about a new teacher at a school who finds herself working alongside a former flame. It was a classic romance premise, but the more I read, the clearer it became that this book was written with teachers in mind, there are a lot of terms and processes mentioned that went right over my head as someone who is neither a teacher, nor in the school system in England.

The story is a childhood friends-to-lovers/second-chance romance with a little fake dating thrown in that is told in the present day with frequent flashbacks. The flashbacks caused confusion while reading though because they weren't always clearly acknowledged as such, so often it wasn't until halfway down the next page that it mentioned "maths homework" or "curfew" that I realised we were in a flashback. Once I figured out what time we were in though, the flashbacks did help to frame the background for the characters and their motivations in a way that keeps you invested.

All in all, a quick and enjoyable read, particularly if you are a teacher in the UK or familiar with the schooling system to get the most out of it and be in on all the jokes.

Holly is starting a new teaching job after losing her last one due to school funding cuts. She’s also moving into a sketchy studio apartment that probably hid a dead body at some point—so, great start. On her first day, she runs into her grumpy new boss and mentor, Alex—aka her first love, the guy who shattered her heart. It’s been ten years, she’s over him… right? Well, maybe.

I loved this story! Holly was hilarious—constantly making ridiculous comments and being adorably clumsy. Her friendships were a highlight, with solid female support that went both ways. Alex was sweet, and his inner turmoil kept me hooked, though I wish we got more of his POV to fully understand his struggles. The flashbacks to their teenage relationship were a great touch, but the push-and-pull between them as adults was frustrating—just communicate already!

My only real complaint? No epilogue! I tapped the last page multiple times, refusing to believe it was over. I just needed one more glimpse into their future!
