She’s doing a fantastic job raising her daughter alone, but is neglecting her needs as a woman. Logan is a successful ER doctor, but he’s rather self-loathing and is essentially sleepwalking through life instead of opening himself up to any meaningful relationships. Life changes for both of them when Clare brings Maddie into the ER one night.
I really enjoyed seeing Clare re-discover the feminine, sensual side of herself. Claire and Maddie trigger an emotional transformation in Logan that is wonderfully heartwarming. Let’s face it. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Maddie with her cheerfulness and love of everything ballet.
On an editorial note, there is a tendency for the author to change tenses within a sentence. It’s a small grammatical error that exists throughout the book, but it stood out to me. However, if you aren’t a Grammar Nazi it may not bother you.
If you’re worried about an angst ridden, tissue grabbing story, fear not. I expected this to be a tear jerker, but the book is surprisingly drama-free. It avoids most of the gut-wrenching, emotionally exhausting aspects that are prominent in similar stories. Clare isn’t consumed by anger towards her deceased husband, or wrecked with guilt at the prospect of loving another man. This is a hopeful, feel-good romance.
The ending is rather predictable, but I still enjoyed it. If you’re a fan of romances featuring single moms, I think you’ll be especially pleased with this. Leah, Clare’s no-filter best friend, has her own book, Never Been Ready, and it looks like a fun story.

Corey has some insecurities as a result of being bound to a wheelchair, but she doesn’t let her disability stop her from living a full life. Her dry sense of humor and spunkiness make her quite endearing. I wish I could say the same about Hartley. He’s a dreamy book boyfriend, and I admire a man who’s faithful; however, he’s loyal to a fault. He’s so attached to his truly awful, superficial girlfriend that he friend zones Corey despite the fact that she’s clearly perfect for him. I grew so frustrated waiting for him to see the light that I began to feel he didn’t deserve Corey.
Strong heroines eventually realize their self-worth though, and there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a hero attempt to redeem himself. Corey and Hartley’s amusing antics as a pair of “gimps,” and the addition of their fabulous best friends make the story very entertaining.
The Year We Fell Down is an exceedingly well-written book featuring characters of real depth. It’s an engaging story that I quite enjoyed.
