goodreads...
When EmLynn’s dad loses his battle with cancer, the last thing she wants is
to move across the country to live with her Mom. Her mom left her dad years ago
to start a new, improved family with her new, improved husband.
When Eric finds himself in the middle of a mess of someone else’s making,
the last thing he wants is to be dumped into the foster care system. He’s spent
most of his life on his own, so he doesn't see the point of having a pretend
family now.
A chance meeting leaves them both thinking that maybe their new town of
Roseville isn’t so bad. But as they grow closer, a mutual enemy, along with a
tangle of secrets and a web of little white lies, may just be enough to make
their new found love unravel completely.
My take...
I have always enjoyed the books I've read by Hope. AFTER I FALL is no
different. It starts out with us getting to know EmLynn and her past. And then
there is the little bit we learn of Eric and his. He is more closed up about
his past and EmLynn is fine with that. She enjoys her time with him and has no
reason not to trust him. Until she can't. Life shows up front and center and
EmLynn is forced to face the facts. Maybe she doesn't know him at all. Maybe it
is time to close that door and move on.
While I loved this story...it wasn't the emotional roller coaster I have
been on before with Hope's other books. And truthfully, it was exactly what I
needed right now. I didn't need a book that would give me an emotional beating
or have me in a fit of tears. I needed a book exactly like this one that would
have be happy and content in all the right places or would have me feeling some
feels at just the perfect time. And it did. I couldn't have asked for a
sweeter, more fantastic read.
I adored these characters. Hope gave us some genuine characters that
readers could relate to. That is one thing I love about this author. She takes
some of her characters and gives them a background that a lot of readers could
relate to and doesn't sugarcoat them. Because in real life, teenagers don't
lead sugarcoated lives, do they?
AFTER I FALL was a wonderful read I blew through. I loved the plot, the
characters and especially the sweet romance. As always, I would suggest
anything this author writes. 5 Read This Book Stars!
