.....Weightless.....
Author: Gia Riley
Genre: New Adult Romance
Title: Weightless
Release: Early Summer
After a perfect summer, Sophie returns to college for her senior year. Leaving behind her greatest source of strength, she has to work even harder to keep her demons quiet. But when her past collides with her happiness for the final time, she’s faced with a new normal. Is she strong enough to stay on top? Does she believe she’s worthy of forever, or will she give it all up for a chance at peace?
One more try. One more chance.
Now a college graduate, Kipton stumbles upon the opportunity of a lifetime. Facing an unexpected long distance relationship, he’s struggling to find the perfect balance between life and love. All he wants is to protect his girl, but he doesn’t know how. Especially when she starts keeping secrets.
Fate has already determined their path. Time controls it. Are Sophie and Kipton strong enough to overcome the odds? Will they conquer the past once and for all?
Only one person knows the answer to free her – to make her weightless.
Weightless is the full-length follow-up to Lighter, and the conclusion to Sophie and Kipton’s story.

What Are You Thinking?
I asked the members of my book group, Gia Riley's Books, to describe Lighter in one or two sentences.Here's what they had to say:This book will absolutely reel you in. It is beautiful, heart wrenching in some respects, but beautiful, and beautifully written. And Kipton, best new book boyfriend! Seriously!! ~Kim J.
Everyone has scars, some just wear them on the inside. Can love make them lighter? ~Tiffany J.
Make you realize that Hope is the last thing that dies and that there's always a little light even in the darkest moments. ~Karen S.
This is a story about love and being able to come out of the dark and actually see the light and there really is true love and happiness that everyone deserves. ~Kelly W.
A heartbreakingly beautiful tale about fighting for yourself and the future you want. ~Ashley J.
A heartbreaking, beautiful love story. ~Heather S.
This book has all the feels and deals with real life issues in a real life way!! The hot hero definitely doesn't hurt anything!! ~Kristin M.
We all are a little broken some of us just hide it better then others. ~Krista R.
This book personifies HOPE. It doesn't matter how big your wounds can be, there always will be hope. This book will make you bawl, but it'll also make you laugh, fall in love, and swoon all over it and the characters. For me, Lighter is Gia's best work yet. ~Marie Liz S.
A beautifully amazing, gut-wrenching story that will stay with me forever. ~Leanne Michele
