Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson
3.0
I don't know, I have conflicting emotions about this book. On one hand I liked how this story was about healing, and growing, and loving someone even if you also kind of hate them because they've done something terrible.
But also, this book hurt my soul. I felt so terrible for Laura and Brooke and her whole family because they're being treated terribly because of something Jason did. It was so unfair that they were treated the way they were, because they didn't do anything wrong. I get that those things happen in real life, but dude. I hurt so bad for them.
I'm not sold on the relationship between Heath and Brooke, to be honest. Yes, they can talk about everything and understand (kind of) what the other one is going through. But Heath was still kind of a jerk to Brooke. She has to be careful what she says and does because it will set him off and he'll get angry at her. I just... I don't know if I support their relationship yet.
I think that they all should have gone to counseling, they could have driven somewhere far enough away from their judge-y little small town to talk to someone, because I think that would have helped with a lot of the issues that were happening.
I have torn feeling about this book you guys, and I don't know what to do about it.
