How do you lose everything?
Ask January Cooper.
She was the daughter of a Dallas multimillionaire, the debutante of the year, and the girl most likely to get whatever she wanted.
But when her father is arrested for securities fraud, the girl who had everything starts to lose everything. And once she starts falling, she can’t seem to stop.
When she walks into Christian Cutlass’s bar, she meets the first person who sees all the way through her. And Christian Cutlass meets the first girl who doesn’t care about who he used to be and what he lost one night when he was nineteen years old.
She’s gorgeous and hurt. He’s twisted in too many ways to count. She’s the girl with nothing left to lose. He was the boy who lost everything he lived for.
How do you lose everything? You start by falling.

ELLEN’S REVIEW
Every once in a while a book comes along that stands out in its genre and blows me away. The Fall of January Cooper is such a book. This story is funny, sarcastic, sad, sexy and moving all at once. I loved Audrey Bell’s writing style and I feel like I really know these characters inside and out.
Told in alternating POV’s, this story follows January as she falls hard from her once-wealthy and privileged position as a Texas debutante. Attending Harvard, she basically loses everything (all at once!) and must learn to rely only on herself. She’s feisty, smart and sarcastic but not invincible.
“January Copper. Remember her? She used to be beautiful. You used to want to know her. You used to think she had the loveliest life. Remember that, people?”
January presents a frosty exterior to the world, until she meets Christian, who is hiding behind a mask of his own. These two have a love-hate relationship but it is Ms. Bell’s refreshing writing style that balances out all of the angst and the emotional turmoil that these two face.
“She had a way of speaking sometimes that straddled the line between sincerity and sarcasm and I had no way of discerning which was the case.”
I could not believe how January’s family treated her! But she is a strong heroine and I loved the way the story concluded. Chris is a fantastic, swoon-worthy character and my only complaint about this story is that it ended! I love this writer and can’t wait to read more of her books. Thank you, Ms. Bell, for the opportunity to read Chris and January’s story! I loved it!
