J.M. La Rocca... What am I going to do with you?Being a fan of La Rocca's since the beginning, I know I'm generally going to love whatever she throws at me. I didn't expect this. Drifting into Darkness is a hauntingly beautiful story about Sadie & Landon & their path to finding their way in the world.Sadie, a beautiful, 20 year old new transplant to town, is looking for a summer job to tide her over until school starts. Making a new friend at registration, she ends up working at the Johnson farm for the summer. Unaccustomed to hard labor, she's determined to not be like the rest of the girls she's heard about. She keeps her head down, works herself to the bone, and doesn't make waves with the boss' sons. That includes Landon.Landon Johnson. Sexy, grumpy, & way too popular for his own good. He knows they follow him around. He knows his reputation, but no one really knows him. Sadie doesn't fall all over him, that in itself intrigues him. She calls him out on his BS, she openly rolls her eyes at him. Sadie. The new girl who brightens his world with her presence an she doesn't even know it.Each on a path to make their families happy. Each one lost in the cruel, harsh world. Needing something, needing someone, needing each other.J.M. La Rocca has give us a story that once you read it, it will be that one read that is deemed unforgettable. Without giving spoilers, I can guarantee 3 things.1. She will be one of your new favorite authors, one you love to hate.2. You will cry.3. You will NEVER forget the beautiful, breathtaking story of Sadie & Landon.While I absolutely loved Lifeless & My Beautiful, La Rocca has taken her writing to a whole new level with Drifting Into Darkness ~Amy TTP
