The Year We Fell Down Book Review:
Harkness College realistic or not?
Acapella and house competitions are a thing
The challenges of an old campus’ accessibility provided a common ground, so to speak, for Hartley and Corey to overcome together
Corey Callahan disability is not her story
The story was incredibly well balanced
Corey lucked out in the roommate game with Dana
Ok, let’s talk about Hartley for the rest of the episode
Hartley and Stacia NOEVER
Splitting the novel between their perspectives gives a more complete picture of their story
Stacia is the worst 90s movie girlfriend ever
Bridger’s book paints a 3D picture of his character–go read it!
Meeting Corey’s family informs a lot about who she is and why she makes certain choices
Corey and Hartley’s relationship is built very organically from the start
The first hookup- how do we feel about how it happened?
The aftermath
Corey took her isolation and turned it into a moment of self discovery
Their reunion is adorable and well-crafted
Hartley’s date made us swoon, but also get really emotional for Corey

There is plenty more! Read the rest of The Ivy Years by Sarina Bowen.
