Hey, readers!
Ginger Scott is a literary force to be reckoned with. At first I worried that I might not like this book of her's because I sincerely usually don't like books involving the music scene. But she has done it again! This is the fourth book in her This is falling series and can be read as a standalone. Every single book in this series has touched my heart in some personal way. Let me explain, One book deals with depression and self doubt, one deals with MS and overcoming it, One deals with being a single parent, and one deals with losing a parent that you didn't get along with. I deal with depression, My dad has MS, I'm a single parent, and my mom was abusive my whole life and died of alcohol and drug use at 48 years old.
All of Ginger's books have touched me in a way that is remarkable for a writer. I've had plenty of writers make me laugh and cry , but to truly touch me with writing down the fears and pains I go through is something entirely different. Ginger has a true talent and this book is no different. She immerses you into her world and breathes life into every character. This book touches on exactly what love is and if you love someone sometimes you have to let them go. This book also as I mentioned before touches on family relationships and what its life to lose a family member you never saw eye to eye with and didn't understand.
If you haven't read anything by her yet and enjoy chick-lit, coming to age, romance novels I highly recommend her work. Any of it.
And although these are "female" books I do think a male audience with the right frame of mind would also enjoy these books.
You really get to see all her characters evolve in her writing. Nobody is unchanged by life and the fierceness of it. From the preppy girl to the tomboy, from the cheerleader to the loner, every character blossoms into more in her books and it's beautiful to see the metamorphosis of each character.
So in short Ginger scott is awesome and I will continue reading her work and more than likely fall in love many times with her characters.
Have a wonderful day and read something great! -Bookish Mom
