Unexpected. Surprising. Characters could be in any generation.

If I had to put my review in three sentences, those above would be it. I'm not shy to advertise that I am not a huge YA/NA fan. In any genre. I've reached a certain age where the angst and drama that the younger generation portray is just not for me.

THIS WAS NOT THIS BOOK.

Twins, Kaitlyn and Caden, along with their best friends, Jenna and Brody are high school seniors going through the routine of their last year. The reader learns how deep seeded attachment of the members of the group formed through flashbacks in the character's point of view. Also there is the daily interaction of such close knit group. Feelings start to change; Just as we all do as we grow. Unfortunately, not everyone finds change welcoming. That's where I stop. I feel if I give any more of the details of the story - it'll just be spoilers.

So, go one-click this book. Yep, I don't care what age you are, you can relate to this wonderfully woven story. As a courtesy I'll let you know. It ends in a cliffhanger. A very BIG one!! The series will go through the seasons as the authors will unweave the details as Fall turns to Winter.

So you love fiction? You are a big fan of Young Adult? Need intrigue - that need to turn the page to find out what's going to happen next because you think you've figured it out? This book is more than a young adult/coming of age story. It's lessons learned by life experiences, and how we deal with them emotionally to be able to move forward.

This is Kaitlyn, Caden, Jenna and Brody's story as it continued from "When Fall Breaks". Although authors Julie Solano & Tracy Justice have crafted an excellent prologue through Kaitlyn's continued POV to introduce the storyline and characters, you'll do yourself an injustice if don't read book 1 first. It makes getting off the cliff so much better. Like my review of book 1, I would find it unfair to rehash the story that is told from Caden's POV here. So, just take my word for it -pick up the book and take the journey for yourself.

"I don't know if he's going to make it through this, but if he does and she doesn't, he'll never be the same."

Physically, emotionally, temporarily or permanently - crisis changes you. This group of teens are dealing with very real issues. Authors Solano & Justice handle the topics fairly and with care. Besides the impacts of the accident, as the reader you get the ups and downs that go with being a teenage boy. So many of the readers of YA are young women. We forget that boys have their own insecurities and worries of growing up and being normal.

I was given an ARC for honest review. And like book 1, I can honestly tell you, continue this adventure no matter what type of fiction you prefer.
