Review of Freefall by Mindi Scott
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...
Although
I don't usually read this genre (what it is called, contemporary?) I
read a review of it somewhere and it sounded interesting, so I added it
to my wishlist. Then a couple of weeks later Joli from Acting Up With Books gave it to me as an RAK. Thank you!
I
didn't like Seth at first but Seth isn't a character that's made to be
instantly likeable. When we meet him he's wandering around a party
somewhere while his friend gets completely snowballed.
I started to like him gradually more throughout the book as I learnt
more about him and his life although the book felt a little slow in
places.
A
great thing about this book was that all the way through I could feel
the ghost of Isaac shadowing everything Seth does, which was brilliantly
written. He doesn't sound like a particularly pleasant character and
what I did hear of hi reminded me very strongly of Daniel.
There's
some romance here too - you follow Seth's thoughts and feelings as he
falls in love for the first time with Rosetta which is really sweet and
moving. On the other hand his friend, Kendall isn't helping his
relationships as she's very full-on and as others say, slutty, but I
found her strangely likeable. Like a puppy you just can't put down.
4/5
