I LOVED this book. Ms. LaRocca has created a cast of characters who I connected with almost immediately, I was invested in, and could not pull myself away from as I devoured Drifting into Darkness. The fact that they weren’t perfect nor were they completely damaged made this such a refreshing read for me.Sadie and Landon have both suffered from heartbreak. While they each bear the emotional baggage from their respective situations and they have both done things in the past because of it that they are not proud of, they are willing to take a chance again and see where their attraction takes them. The author does an excellent job of infusing their relationship development with realism. Sadie and Landon work at Landon’s family’s farm, yet they’re not constantly in one another’s space at work. They both have familial obligations that they keep. They continue to hang out with their friends; they don’t become so obsessed with one another that they ignore everyone around them. And the most novel aspect that is lacking in so many new adult and contemporary romance books these days, they communicate with one another; when Sadie had concerns regarding something someone told her about Landon, she asked him about it.Ms. LaRocca has crafted a wonderfully written novel that I found so very refreshing. But make sure you have your tissues ready, because with the level of realism that she adopts, you will shed some tears. But it is so worth the read and the puffy eyes. This is an author I will definitely be checking out.I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.Reviewed by Angela at Crystal's Many Reviewers!
