My Thoughts
Cassidy was so very unhappy with her life, so she quit her job and her boyfriend moving into her parents' basement to find herself again. A cassette tape becomes her obsession and when it breaks she comes to find Leo at a local store. He has his own issues and is broken too. Together they will discover what they had lost. I loved their banter and so enjoyed their story.
I give Life After Falling 4 hearts!

Excerpt
"Can I look?" I gestured to the movie collection
he had piled next to the massive TV.
"Sure." He walked over to the kitchen counter and
put down his keys, wallet, and phone. I liked that he put down his phone. It
meant he was all there with me. I’d worked hard to break my own addiction to
technology.
"Quite the collection." My eyes ran over the
titles.
"I've picked up a few over the years."
"What's your favorite?" I kneeled down to see them
better.
"You can't ask me that."
"Why not?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Because I don't have one favorite. Each category is
different."
"But no overarching favorite?"
"Not for movies, but I do for music. Movies are like
food while music is like women."
"Uh, do I want to know what that means?"
"Movies each have different purposes for me. Some make
me laugh, some make me think. Some are entertainment. Like food. How can you
compare a burger with a slice of cake? They serve different purposes.”
"Got it, but why is music like women?"
"Music has one purpose. To move someone. I can pick one
favorite. The same goes for women. Who needs variety if you can find everything
in just one?"
Words had never turned me on so much. "That's an
interesting way to view things."
"It works."
I stood up. "But what if you never find one thing that
has everything you need? Do you keep searching?”
