But after that night, when nothing goes the way it's supposed to, when the one thing that matters most is out of his controlโ€ฆ What happens to the fixer when he can't fix what's breaking?

"โ™พ๏ธโญ๏ธ Do you have those books that just stick with your soul? This is that for me. This book is heavy but it's also real and raw. It deals with themes of addiction and substance abuse and it doesn't shy away away from the grief, the guilt, and the utter destruction it leaves behind. But under all the heavy is a beautiful love story of two souls just trying to find their worth in each other."

Part I of The Rainfall Series

RAINFALL

Savannah doesn't know if grief changed herโ€” or if it only stripped away the illusion that she was ever whole.

Since her mother's death, she's been unraveling. Pills blur the ache. Silence hides the truth. To her dad, she's distant. To her friends, she's fine. To Ethan, her boyfriend, she's a ghost of the girl he remembers.

Then there's Cole. All sharp edges and quiet shadows, he doesn't try to drag her back into the light. He meets her in the dark. He sees the pieces she can't hold togetherโ€”and, for a moment, she feels almost alive again.

But grief doesn't let go easily.

And addiction doesn't steal all at once. It waits in the cracks, takes root in the silenceโ€ฆ until it becomes the only thing left to hold.

"This entire book. Savannah's entire world gets flipped over when her mother dies. Her boyfriend expects her to just get over it. One night she happens to stumble into Cole. Cole silences everything for her, makes her feel okay as broken as she is. She also stumbled into pills, her addiction fighting a war inside of her. Can Cole be enough for her? The ending literally had me flipping back and forth on my Kindle double checking if it was really the end."
