ELLEN LIKES CAM * CAM LIKES ELLEN *
What if the one person you can't stop thinking about...
...can't stop thinking about you?

*CAM LIKES ELLEN *
What if during one long day you failed at everything because you met this glitter-crazed new girl who practically ruins your life? Worse, she insists you and your secret crush become best friends—with her?!! Only you don’t have time to be friends with insane people, and you think your crush might need to stay the way it’s always been: Distant. Impossible. In your head. This is because you have problems and secrets a crush would never understand.

*ELLEN LIKES CAM *
But what if the three of you wind up assigned to a group photography project, and rumors are already circling about the new girl being ridiculous? You know she’s nice but alone, so you convince your crush to help protect the new girl. Working on the project suddenly makes hanging out, texting, talking—and even high school—seem completely normal when it’s anything but.

ELLEN LIKES CAM * CAM LIKES ELLEN *
What if you fall for each other just enough to kiss…and it’s perfect? You tell secrets and make the kind of promises that might be impossible to keep when you’re only sixteen. Which is why, long before it all falls apart, you already knew nothing this beautiful could have been meant to be yours for long.

But what if…

High School Romance, Sweet young adult.

My take...

Ellen likes Cam. Cam Likes Ellen. And then comes Hurricane Laura.

Cam has been waiting for a morning like this to happen for a long time. Today is the day that he plans to make his intentions for Ellen known. All was going well until this pixie dust wearing whirlwind comes crashing into his life and about ruins it all. Or does it? In fact, Laura may very well be the most perfect distraction ever to ignite his plan. And if a few new friendships come to fruition...so be it!

I’ve decided Laura’s the closest thing to a living comet I’ll ever meet. Everyone’s always staring at her because she’s extra bright and obviously from a faraway place so they can’t look away. I know I can’t. She’s lucky, too. Instead of how it is when people stare at me because I walk funny or tumble and fall, they’re simply captivated.

I took my time with this one, but it was one I couldn't wait to get back to after having to step away from it. It called to me. I constantly wondered what these amazing kids were up to. Oh yes, after just starting the book, I was quickly smitten with them all. Cam and Ellen are absolutely adorable. And Laura was a breath of fresh air to the YA literary world (couldn't get enough of her). Not to forget Patrick...I loved his fierce love for his best friend, Ellen. Put these 4 together and you have one power packed friendship and awesomely awesome characters you won't soon forget.

“I want to kiss you. Like this. Now. If that’s okay.”
Just as the wind scatters more golden leaves down over our heads she nods and whispers, “So do I, if that’s okay?”

Readers who know Eliot's previous work knows that she likes to weave a tragic tale with heart swooning romance! She likes to give us readers a strong female lead, but one that has heart and soul too. A lead we can relate to no matter what she is dealing with. And HOW I FALL is no different. This story is absolutely fabulous and stole my heart from start to finish. Cannot wait to get my hands on HOW I FLY. YES!! The story continues on.

5 Beautiful and Heart Stirring Stars!
