GRR Reviews Breaking the Fall (Summer at Falling Pine Lake) by Vanessa M. Knight

Breaking the Fall was about second chance at love. The grudge held for ten years, however, made the FMC positively immature.

Brice's life is unraveling. She had to divorce her husband when he cheated on her and got a different woman pregnant. When her mother needed some help to run Camp Falling Pines, Brice took her son and moved back home for the summer... Or forever? But her son seems to hate the place. And meeting the man that broke her heart way back when didn't help... // Jason left his high-pressure law career behind to help the camp. It was where his best memories are made... With Brice. But when Brice ran away with no explanation, his heart was broken. He thought he was healing, until Brice stormed back into town, with her son Connor in tow. Jason knew he wanted Brice back, but he should stay away because Jason ran away for a reason... and Brice will bolt when she learned it, just as she did last time...

Angst-y, but somehow, the motivations are not that well polished, as if both characters are just stupid? Stubborn? Pig-headed? The reason is...

SPOILER

I WARNED YOU!!!!!

AGAIN!!!!!

Brice ran the first time because Jason was comforting another girl who's homesick and having family issues (parents divorcing) at cmap, but Brice obviously concluded that Jason cheated on her. And for that, they cut contact for like, 10 years, and hold grudges? What sort of shallow f*** mindset is that?
