Synopsis
Britta Colby works for a lifestyle website, and when tasked to write about her experience with a hot new body-positive fitness app that includes personal coaching, she knows it’s a major opportunity to prove she should write for the site full-time.
As CEO of the FitMe app, Wes Lawson finally has the financial security he grew up without, but despite his success, his floundering love life and complicated family situation leaves him feeling isolated and unfulfilled. He decides to get back to what he loves—coaching. Britta’s his first new client and they click immediately.
As weeks pass, she’s surprised at how much she enjoys experimenting with her exercise routine. He’s surprised at how much he looks forward to talking to her every day. They convince themselves their attraction is harmless, but when they start working out in person, Wes and Britta find it increasingly challenging to deny their chemistry and maintain a professional distance.
Wes isn’t supposed to be training clients, much less meeting with them, and Britta’s credibility will be sunk if the lifestyle site finds out she’s practically dating the fitness coach she’s reviewing. Walking away from each other is the smartest thing to do, but running side by side feels like the start of something big.

Review
The Fastest Way to Fall is such a fantastic rom-com, full of all the tropes we love!
I loved this book. I really related to Britta. I loved that she was happy with how she looked and made it clear that she wasn’t looking to lose weight. But I loved that even though she wasn’t on a diet, she did get healthier. It motivated me to focus more on my health. Britta was such a fun cheater to read! She was bold, sarcastic, and honestly someone I would want to be friends with. And Wes was so supportive of her, helping her along the way. I loved both of these characters, and I rooted for them. I looked forward to reading the interactions because they were just so wonderful together.
The chemistry between Wes and Britta was clear from the beginning! I loved the flirty banter between these two.
As I mentioned, this book is full of all the rom-com tropes I love, only one bed, secret identities, and I loved it all. This was just a wonderfully sweet read. I also loved seeing some of my favorite characters from How to Fail and Flirting!
I have loved both of Denise Williams’s books, and I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next!
