When it Falls Apart is the first book in a contemporary romance trilogy that follows the relationships of three siblings. In this one, Luca and Brooke meet at his family restaurant in Little Italy. They bond over their willingness to do whatever necessary for their families, despite a rocky start.
My biggest issue was the title honestly. When it falls apart implies that something catastrophic is going to happen, and then synopsis supports that idea. But it wasn't dramatic enough for me. I didn't feel like much had gone into the foundation of the relationship prior to the big dramatic earthquake that was supposed to destroy everything. It wasn't catastrophic and it wasn't even that deep as I didn't feel as though their relationship was serious enough for that. I started getting annoyed by it all because it felt like we were supposed to interpret the relationship as much more intense than it actually was. Thus, the fallout wasn't nearly as big as they wanted us to feel it was.
Still a decent read, but just kind of meh all the way through. Predictable without any of the fun that should accompany such a crazy title. Maybe I was just expecting something closer to Things Fall Apart.
