— In one sentence —
Mercedes Ron's first Culpable novel, the Wattpad-origin romance behind Prime Video's Spanish and London film adaptations.
§ 01 · WHY READ
Why read
My Fault is the first book in Mercedes Ron's Culpable trilogy. Bloom Books lists the English edition with ISBN 9781728290737, and Prime Video has adapted the story twice: the Spanish film My Fault and the English-language reimagining My Fault: London. About Amazon also connects the later London sequels to Ron's trilogy.
The book sits in the same adaptation lane as After, The Kissing Booth, and other Wattpad-to-screen romances. It is built for readers who want forbidden attraction, family disruption, expensive settings, and high-emotion YA romance. It is also a useful source read because the screen versions adjust setting, tone, and casting while keeping the core Culpable premise.
Start here before moving to Your Fault or Our Fault. The first book explains Noah, Nick, the family setup, and the emotional logic the films keep returning to.
§ 02 · CHARACTERS
Characters
Noah Morgan is pulled from her old life into a wealthy new household after her mother's remarriage.
Nick Leister is Noah's new stepbrother, whose danger and attraction drive the central conflict.
Noah's mother and William create the blended-family setup that makes the romance volatile.
The racing and party world around Nick gives the story its risk, status, and melodrama.
§ 03 · HIGHLIGHTS
Three highlights
No. 1 - Active Prime Video lane. Prime Video has the Spanish film, the London reimagining, and announced sequel movement around the trilogy.
No. 2 - Clear English path. Bloom Books provides the English edition and bibliographic route.
No. 3 - Franchise source value. This first book helps readers understand the whole Culpable screen cycle.
§ 04 · EDITIONS
Recommended editions
| Edition | Why pick it |
|---|---|
| Bloom Books paperback | Main English edition, ISBN 9781728290737. |
| Bloom Books ebook | Good if you want the fastest route into the trilogy. |
| Deluxe or tie-in editions | Worth considering if you already follow the Prime Video films. |
§ 05 · FIT
Who it's for / not for
Read this if you are...
- Coming from My Fault, My Fault: London, or the Prime Video sequel news.
- Looking for Wattpad-origin romance with fast emotional turns.
- Interested in forbidden romance and blended-family tension.
- Reading the Culpable trilogy in order.
Skip it if you are...
- Avoiding step-sibling romance premises.
- Wanting quiet literary romance.
- Sensitive to trauma, controlling behavior, or high-drama relationships.
- Looking for a standalone without franchise pull.
§ 06 · TIPS
Reading tips
- Start with book one. Later entries depend on Noah and Nick's first collision.
- Separate Spanish and London film continuities. Both adapt Ron's trilogy, but they make different choices.
- Read for trope execution. The appeal is not subtlety; it is speed, tension, and escalation.
- Watch the age and power dynamics. They are central to whether the book works for you.
§ 07 · COMPARE
Read alongside
- Anna Todd - After. For another Wattpad-to-film romance franchise.
- Beth Reekles - The Kissing Booth. For YA romance moving from platform audience to Netflix.
- Claudia Tan - Perfect Addiction. For another Wattpad Books romance with Prime Video film proof.
- Ali Novak - My Life with the Walter Boys. For teen romance and adaptation momentum.
- Jenny Han - To All the Boys I've Loved Before. For a softer YA screen-romance contrast.
