About this audiobook
Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that’s perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han.
Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of.
Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love...for real.
Ciara Smyth’s debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was very sweet and surprisingly poignant. The narrator did a fantastic job and captured the humor of the main character in a way that had me genuinely laughing out loud at moments. This was a funny, heartfelt, lovely little listen.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really loved this book. It's the first one in a long while that made me laugh as much as want to cry. The struggles the MC goes through are deep and complex, and the way it progresses, though messy at times, is very realistic and never falls into trope-y territory.
The writing is bubbly and fun most of the time, but knows when to shift into a more serious tone for the more dramatic sections. The ending of the book didn't go in the direction I was expecting, but it still remains a good, solid, and realistic ending nonetheless. Overall, it left me happy and content and warm.
Would definitely recommend this book. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator of this book is to die for. She has a perfect Irish accent and she's a joy to listen to. Seriously. Listen to this just for the narrator. Other than that it's a lovely sapphic summer romance with a dash of existential crisis and nihilism, it made me laugh, made me cry, and made we want a girlfriend. Highly recommend.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Saoirse ( pronounced seer-sha) met Ruby at a party and it was instant attraction. But, having broken up with her girlfriend, Hannah, months before, Saoirse was hesitant to start a new relationship. Also, her mother has early onset dementia, which has some hereditary aspects, so why do something when the chances are you won't remember it? Added to that, her father is remarrying a year after her mom was put in a nursing home devoted to people with her ailment.Yet, as you can guess, Saoirse's resolve falls apart.There's a lot going on in this book...a family dealing with early onset dementia and the strain it puts on them, a young girl dealing with a step mother when her own mother is incapable of recognizing her, a girl's fear of contracting the same disease and fear of commitment. Yet through it all, The Falling in Love Montage is an easy and enjoyable read, although I wasn't totally happy with the ending. It was realistic but who wants realism, huh?I heartily recommend The Falling in Love Montage.
