Break My Fall (fall #2) - Jessica Scott

 

I loved this book!!! It feels different from past books. Josh is recently out of the Army but has no idea how to be a civilian. He is trying to go to college but feels out of place. He fights the demons from his time at war and some personal issues. He finds it hard to socialize and adjust to not being part of the army.

Abby is beautiful, amazing and also fights her own demons. She is in college and completely focused on her studies and future. She's been burned in the past by boyfriends and abusive men her mother dated after he father was killed.

I love the internal struggles they both have. Ironically they are similar in their struggles. I also love the fact we have a white man with an African American woman. This brings up issues with race and prejudices (ironically Abby's parents were the same way). Both characters experienced big growth within themselves and together as a couple. They both had to deal with their past to heal their future!
