Five Ways to Fall left me with mixed feelings just like the second book in this series. Since this is the finale, I expected it will either step up or at least match the greatness of Four Seconds to Lose . That wasn't the case but it's still a good story. 
 The main characters are Ben Morris and Reese MacKay. Ben was a former bouncer at Penny's and works for his best friend's father's law firm. Surprisingly, he sees Reese again at the office whom he met at Cancun two months ago. She used to have a purple hair instead of blonde with streaks. The problem is she's his boss's stepdaughter. 
 A lot of times I rolled my eyes on Reese from annoyance. She's shallow, immature and bitter. It's understandable because of her rough upbringing. She's afraid of rejection and craves for affection that her biological parents barely gave. Sometimes someone needs to to talk some sense in her. Wasting her energy stalking her cheating ex-husband is unhealthy. It's a waste of energy and that douchebag doesn't deserve an ounce of her attention. Those are her flaws and on the bright side, I like her sense of humor and sass. She reminds me of Kacey. 
 Ben may be crass, cocky and self-assured, he's a sweet guy. I adore him whenever he's with his mama. He looks out for her and makes sure she's okay. The chemistry between him and Reese was great but not really intense. Plot wise, it has a potential but I wish it's added with more spice. The ending was clichA(c) and lackluster. It's quite a let down. Overall, it's slightly better than the second book but it's not as good as the first and the third book. 
 Final rating: 3.5 / 5 stars
