The Art of Falling For You (Falling, #1)
Maya Hughes
If looks could kill, I’d be a charred pile of ash on the sidewalk. I need to know why she hates me. Bay Bishop aka The New Girl is my new neighbor. In her glasses and stage crew black clothes she has a knack for fading into the background. She’s probably the only one who rolls her eyes when I walk past instead of cheering on my last touchdown play. But before I can shove her into the recesses of my mind filed under “Not my problem” she lands herself smack dab in the middle of my dreams. I catch her singing with a voice unlike any I’ve heard before that taps into feelings I shouldn’t have for the girl who avoids me at all costs. With three months until graduation, the final play is on. Only it’s not for more points. It’s for Bay. Unlike my success on the field, this win is anything but assured. But I can’t stop myself from taking the risk. There’s no flashing scoreboard. There’s no cheering crowd. There’s only her and me. The countdown clock is ticking. The only thing scarier than finding my first love will be losing her. The Art of Falling for You is the first book in the new Fulton U universe sports romance, Falling trilogy.

Let me first state: the writing is well done.
First chapter was great, characters were interesting and the setup kept me wanting to read more. I was ready to devour it.
Then the story went back to high school - and it kept on being there for almost the entire book. Filled with drama, or perceived drama, high school clichés, and honestly exhausting. I had to force myself to keep reading.
If it hadn't been for the fact that I hoped all the way through the book, that it would return to the post-college world that the characters are starting out in, I probably wouldn't have finished it.
I bought it because I liked the Fulton U books, and the first chapter felt like that, and the summary did say it was in the Fulton U universe. But the rest of the book was a high school story, and that wasn't what I thought I bought and read.
