Fallen Too Far, Never Too Far and Forever Too Far are books one, two and three of the Too Far trilogy. They are also books one, two and four of the Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines. Fallen Too Far follows Rush Finlay and Blaire Wynn, step siblings. Blaire's father just married Rush's mother. Blaire has just buried her own mother who suffered a long battle with cancer and now Blaire is left with no money and must turn to her father, no matter how much she wishes she wouldn't have to.
Rush takes an immediate disliking to Blaire that she cannot comprehend but all she is concerned with is finding a job and getting a place of her own, she doesn't want to have to depend on her father.
This book switched point of views almost every chapter and although I usually dislike novels written in a dual point of view this was a great move for this one. With their relationship already extremely complicated, it helped that we were shown the two sides to their story at all times, it cleared up further confusion.
While I should dislike Rush as he is the typical bad boy with childhood demons who takes it out on the girl, I simply can't. He is growing and learning as they continue on their journey and I believe he honestly tries his best to please everyone at all times.
I have never hated a character with no compassion so quickly as I did in this book. Nan, Rush's sister is everything I hate in a character. An adult that takes no responsibility for her actions, treats everyone around her like dirt and whines about it while she does it. She acts like a two year old, not anything like how a twenty-one year old should act. She is the cliché rich girl that hates the world. It's hard to not feel for a character at all especially when they've had a tough childhood but Nan's character and personality make it simple to hate her and feel no sympathy what so ever. She was the one downside to this otherwise great trilogy. All she did throughout the entire trilogy was complain about her own problems without ever thinking about the consequences her actions could have on the people she loves.
I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy and although it did have its heartbreaking moments from time to time, it was exactly what I needed to get me out of my reading slump. I read all three books in two days as they are quite short.

I'd give the trilogy a 4/5 ☆ overall and my least favourite book was the last and this was simply because I hate Nan so much. It's a great fun, quick and heartwarming read so I'd definitely recommend it
