Sudden Hope #2
Catch Me If I Fall
Alec and Skylar are not the typical small town couple; in fact, nothing about them is ordinary. Within just a few months, they helped one another overcome their worse fears, and tragedies that no one should have to deal with.
Now, they face new challenges. As Alec leaves for college, Skylar’s parents’ concern for their high school daughter dating a now college guy, becomes the least of their problems. When a relationship grows into something as intense and overwhelming as theirs, emotions are heightened, jealousy emerges, and lines are crossed.
Can a love that intense survive a long distance relationship with the added drama caused by ghosts from their pasts?

I was so very happy to be back with Skylar and Alec. Their story in the first book was one of love and tragedy. So much happens in their short lives that sometimes you had to ask "what else is going to be thrown at them?" Haven't read it? Well, stop reading now and go get it. Now!
If you continued on reading, I am assuming you read SUDDEN HOPE and loved it as much as me. I knew when I finished SUDDEN HOPE there was more story that had to be told. And how right I was. Skylar and Alec may have had it easy since we last left off, but things are about to get a whole lot more emotional and a lot more hectic. Tears will be shed, turmoil will be endured, love will be questioned. It will be something they will have to work through and fight for if they want to make it. The question in the end...is it all worth it?
Mercy!! Can these kids catch a break? Even with all the other mess they have been through; more gets thrown in their face. Time and time again. Whether it be concerned parents, tramps that don’t understand the word no, or weirdo stalkers, these two have a lot of hurdles they have to overcome. Luckily with some time and help from their friends (even a new fabulous character) these two will have much support and love to get through it.
CATCH ME IF I FALL was an emotional read up until the very end. Seriously. The. Very. End! But I was pleased with the ending the author gave us. It wrapped up a fantastic series perfectly and had me smiling through some tears as I closed the book. 5 Stars!!

CATCH ME IF I FALL
BY: DANIELE LANZAROTTA
BOOK 2 IN THE SUDDEN HOPE SERIES
If you haven’t read the first book in the series I totally recommend you doing so before you jump into book 2. You will be totally lost in Catch Me If I Fall if you don’t start with Sudden Hope first.
Skylar (Sky) and her family are heading to her Uncle J’s house for the Fourth of July. Sky asks if her boyfriend Alec can come along as well. Her dad really isn’t thrilled with the idea as they think they are spending too much time together. He gives in so they all head to Uncle J’s for the Fourth. Everything starts out great until the fireworks start. The sounds bring back those memories of what happen school when Mike shot two of their friend at school. Her parents are so glad that they allowed Alec to be there with her. At the end of summer Alec will be heading off to start college with Kyle. Sky has a hard time dealing with him getting ready to leave. Everyone in town says that it is strange for a high school girl to be dating a college guy. Alec and Skylar know that it is going to be hard with long distance relationship, but that are determined to make it work for them.
So as a way for all the guys on the baseball team to have a great sendoff as most of them will be attend different college they guys come over and make sure much noise waking Alec up for a baseball game. Sky doesn’t go to the game as there is a huge surprise that she is part of with some of the other parents. They plan a hug going away party for the guys at Garyson’s farm. This turns out to be a great way for all of them to see each other one last time.
The biggest surprise was when Mike decided to send Skylar a letter thinking she would talk to him again. There is a HUGE twist with Mike in the story that I will NOT give it away. Just be ready for your emotions to be all over the place with what happens.
We get to meet some really great new characters in the series. Sebastian is one of my favorites of the new ones added to the story. I love how Skylar’s family takes him in during a really tough time and Sky thinks of him as a brother she never had. He is great as a brother who is very protective of Skylar just to the right degree and not by going overboard. Lucas is another one of the new guys in the story and let’s just say he is head over heels for Skylar, but you have to read the story to understand what happens there.
Daniele had my emotions all over while I was reading the story. If you have any knowledge about suicide they are created a tattoo of remembrance that is the semicolon ; and it plays a very special part in this story to remember Kristi.
I hope that Daniele will either do a story about Sebastian or Lucas. They are both really great new additions to story and back story on either one would be fun. I think maybe Sebastian would be even more fun as I really enjoyed how after everything he has head in school in his first day there about Skylar he still became her friend as so much more.

This was just as wonderful as the first book in the series. Daniele did another great job bringing in love, pain, and events that are relative to current problems going on for teens and young adults today. The characters are wonderfully done. Must read!!!
