This line is fire...

How did I fall? Easy. He turned my world upside down

My Fault is the book I found out from TikTok. I watched the movie first and then I thought why not give it a read.

This review aims to provide insight into the book and the movie adaptation. I will analyze the plot, characters, and writing style, and give an overall rating. It will assist you in deciding whether to indulge in the book the movie or both.

"My Fault" written by Mercedes Ron is a captivating book that tells the story of a love-hate relationship between Noah and Nick. This book has been adapted into a movie that has caught the attention of many romance enthusiasts.  I was surprised to find out that the book is very well written as many books that go viral on TikTok are not really well written. there were no plot holes, no dragging, simple and steady storyline. 

The story centers around Noah and Nick who are step-siblings and both are grappling with personal demons. Noah is dealing with the loss of her mother when she married a rich lawyer, while Nick is trying to come to terms with the absence of his father throughout his whole life and the leaving of his mother a long time ago. The two step-siblings are forced to live together under one roof. Sparks fly, and they fall in love, but their relationship is plagued by misunderstandings, childhood trauma, and secrets. 

Mercedes Ron is a Spanish author who garnered a massive following from the success of this book. She has since then gone on to write other books in the same genre.
