While I'm Falling
Pre-med student Veronica Von Holten used to have a happy life, a loving boyfriend, and supportive parents. Then one day, her dad discovers her stay-at-home mom Natalie having an affair. After the family house is sold in the divorce, Natalie shows up at Veronica’s dorm with their elderly dog, Bowzer. Longing for some privacy, Veronica decides to housesit for a guy on campus named Jimmy, and a kiss turns her romantic life upside down, too. Kirkus Reviews writes, “Turn off the phone, lock the door, and order takeout before opening this sweet, straight-through read” from Laura Moriarty (The Rest of Her Life, 2007).
