Freefall

Freefall

by Mindi Scott

Synopsis:

How do you come back from the point of no return?Seth McCoy was the last person to see his best friend, Isaac, alive, and the first to find him dead. It was just another night, just another party, just another time when Isaac drank too much and passed out on the lawn. Only this time, Isaac didn''t wake up.

Convinced that his own actions led to his friend''s death, Seth is torn between turning his life around . . . or losing himself completely.

Then he meets Rosetta: so beautiful and so different from everything and everyone he''s ever known. But Rosetta has secrets of her own, and Seth soon realizes he isn''t the only one who needs saving . . .

My thoughts:

When I picked it I was expecting a mystery, thriller type of book which its definitely not, but it was still fairly enjoyable. The thing I didn’t like about the book is it had WAAAAY to much romance in it for my liking. There is nothing that I hate more than romance, lovey dovey crap but if you like that sort of stuff you’ll love this book because its also written excellently and its very engaging.  Freefall has a lot of swears in, again a little too much for my liking, so if you're sensitive to constant F- bombs this book may not be for you.  I think this book is relevant to readers in their teens because it deals with overcoming your fears and problems with friends, family, the opposite gender and peer pressure. For example in the book Seth has a hard time dealing with his brother Mikey pressuring him into dropping out of school to rejoin the band so Mikey don't have to find a replacement bassist.  Readers will most likely connect to Seths experiences in some way since every teen has had troubles with their parents or peer pressure. I liked the way the book was written because it wasn't to hard to understand and it was also written  like a teenager would talk so its almost like the character was talking to you, instead if reading a boring essay. All in all I'd recommend this book to most people.
