Where I Land
What if the things that taught you how to survive are the same things that break you?
He’s the boy who learned to be strong because he had no choice. Now strength isn’t enough.
March 9, 2024—The night everything went sideways.
She just needed to make it through one more day. Until rehab. Until help was waiting.
Cole fixes things.
It's what he does. Broken engines. Broken people. He's always been the one who holds everything together. But after that night, when nothing goes the way it's supposed to, when the one thing that matters most is out of his control…
What happens to the fixer when he can't fix what's breaking?
This is his story.
The aftermath. The weight. The spiral.
The choices you make when grief takes hold.
Where does he land?
Where does she land?
Where do they land?
Where I Land is a raw and emotionally gripping companion novel and Book Two in the Rainfall series, exploring grief, addiction, and the aftermath of loving someone you couldn’t save. Cole’s story is one of survival, self-destruction, and the slow unraveling of the fixer when holding everything together is no longer enough.

I loved how this picked up right where Rainfall left us. My heart hurt the entire way through this. Watching Sav and Cole struggle with sobriety-and what eventually unfolded (spoiler free) was so heavy.
I am screaming for the final book-this series is a must read!

Oh I fear I cried so many times I lost count!!! Cole & Sav are one of my favorite couples. Seeing them deal with addiction and watching them navigate their demons felt so raw and painfully real. The emotions, the struggles, the messy parts of loving someone while fighting your own battles—it all felt incredibly authentic and it healed parts of me that I didn’t think needed healing. Thank you Nikki for allowing me to read this ARC, patiently waiting to see how their story ends in book 3🥹

Nikki, this story was painfully human and beautifully raw😭 You write characters that are so real I’d forget this was actually fiction at times. And these babies are so young, my heart hurts for them 😭
This book PERFECTLY captures the codependency addicts in relationships gain. Cole & Sav are truly the cautionary tale addiction therapists warn you about.
In this book, Cole & Sav have this all consuming, almost suffocating love for one another. It’s a constant, primal need to fix each other while simultaneously harboring so much guilt and anger for things WAY out of their control. They cling to each other so hard throughout this book that once they start drifting apart, their foundation of sobriety is truly tested, and it may not survive.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a rollercoaster of emotions that was heartbreaking to see Cole & Sav struggle with. I can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store for them🩵 I truly hope to see more of their therapist, she was amazing. It felt like I was the one sitting in their sessions being taught how to regain my sense of self after trauma/loss.
Note;
This is a very heavy read, you psychically feel their struggles and every emotion they encounter while fighting for sobriety. Please check your triggers before reading🫶🏻

[ARC REVIEW]
Nikki, this book blew my expectations out of the water. My heart hurts 😭 I loved Rainfall (book 1 from this series), but this one?! I am shocked to say I liked this one even more! This book is real, raw, and relatable. This story explores addiction, recovery, mental health, relationships, friendships/family, trauma, and more. It is literally a rollercoaster of emotions, and leaves readers in shreds by the end. In addition to the heartbreak, there is a major cliffhanger. This is the type of book that doesn’t leave your thoughts for days, weeks, months, etc. I absolutely loved this story, and I seriously cannot wait for book 3. 👏🏼😮💨🥹

I don’t even know how to explain what this book did to me other than it felt painfully real in the best way. A lot of stories talk about healing, but this one actually sits in it. It shows the messy parts, the setbacks, the conversations people usually avoid, and the slow work it takes to actually move forward. Nothing felt rushed or smoothed over and I appreciated that so much. It hurt, but it felt honest.
I cried through most of this book. Not cute single-tear crying either. I’m talking full meltdown, ugly crying, having to put the book down because I couldn’t see the words anymore. It just hit that deep.
I also took my time while reading this because Nikki writes with so much intention. Every conversation feels like it matters. Every quiet moment feels like it’s there for a reason. I kept wanting to slow down and sit in scenes instead of rushing to the end because the emotional weight was heavy but also really beautiful.
One of my favorite things is how the conflicts actually get worked through on page. We get the hard conversations after the blowups. We see people try to communicate even when it’s uncomfortable. That level of emotional maturity is rare and it makes the relationships feel grounded instead of dramatic for the sake of it.
And the therapy sessions? I loved that those were included. So many addiction storylines skip straight to the recovery part and act like the work magically happens off screen. Here we actually see the process. We see the struggle, the accountability, the learning. It makes the healing feel earned instead of handed out.
There were also little moments that just stuck with me, like the comparison between learning to drive stick and learning how to live without addiction. It was such a simple metaphor but it landed hard and felt incredibly thoughtful.
More than anything, this book made me feel seen. The grief, the addiction, the complicated love, the attempts to grow even when it’s painful. It all felt real and human and unfiltered. This is one of those books I know I’ll think about often and probably bring up in random conversations. It’s a soul book for me.
This isn’t a neat redemption story. It’s messy and painful, but it’s also deeply sincere in the way it handles healing. The ending will gut you, and I’m so excited for what’s to come for Cole and Sav. Thank you for this beautiful story, Nikki. I’m so proud of the courage it took to write something so raw, real, and honest.

Nikki Jimenez has, once again, explored grief, addiction, recovery, and relapse in a heartbreakingly beautiful way. The story and its content are extremely heavy, but Nikki handles the difficult topics with such care and grace. The writing is just as beautiful (cue me opening all of my highlights and crying) and easy to read as it was in the first book, which is something I really appreciate about this series due to its heavy content. Despite dealing with addiction and recovery, Jimenez doesn't shy away from showing truly just how messy and complicated the process is.
Savannah and Cole's recovery isn't linear, and this story really leans into the highs and lows of the vicious cycle that is addiction. We, along with our main characters, experience the constant internal battle that comes with trying to recover. Savannah and Cole truly go through SO much throughout this story, and it absolutely broke my heart (repeatedly). I will say that I did struggle a bit with connecting to the story at times and found myself being pretty frustrated with some of the choices that were made by the characters; however, I also completely understood every choice that was made. Savannah is such a complicated character, and the reality is that her addiction makes everything messy, irrational, and painful for both her and the people around her. So, even though I didn't always agree with her choices, I still feel SO deeply for her and completely understand her (there will be no Savannah slander here).
One thing I really did appreciate about "Where I Land" was being able to get more of Cole's story and seeing the toll that addiction (both his and Savannah's) has had on him. We get a much deeper look into his trauma, the guilt he carries, and the weight of loving someone while also fighting your own battles. It really, to me, highlighted how addiction doesn't just impact the person struggling with it, but also the people closest to them. Despite them both loving each other so so much, their own struggles make their story one that is complicated, raw, devastating, and so real.
& can I say that Nikki broke my heart AGAIN with that ending. I thought that the ending of the first book was rough... but I mean... wow (or should I say "ouch"?). I knew I was in trouble when I hit around 90% and everything started going downhill with no time to resolve itself (pls if you could've seen me I was in shambles). I seriously cannot wait to return to Savannah and Cole's story in the next installment!
A huge thank you to Nikki Jimenez for gifting me an eArc of "Where I Land" in exchange for my honest review. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to have read and reviewed "Where I Land" early!

Where I Land by Nikki Jimenez is book 2 in The Rainfall Series. The first book is titled Rainfall. I do not suggest you read this book without reading book 1. This book picks up exactly where Rainfall's cliffhanger left me sobbing in a fetal position. Before I jump into the review, I'd like to once again profess my undying love for Cole. He's so thoughtful and caring. It's more of a double edged sword for him, but I admire those qualities in his character.
WARNING - This book will WRECK you. From the very beginning I was glued to the pages. It flows so seamlessly from book 1 that it feels like I just read it yesterday. I wasn't lost and didn't see any gaps in the story. So much happens in the continuation of Cole and Savannah's story. Talk about emotional...After chapter 40 - I'm dead. I haven't sobbed that hard in a months. I'm hurt but I understand why it had to happen. I'm also hopeful, if this series is continuing, to see how Cole's character grows. What kind of man does he end up becoming and can Sav forgive him.
I can easily see more books coming in this series. I'd love to hear Ryan and Jade's POV. It's pretty clear they have some kind of history. I'm not going to lie, at a very specific point in the story I was furious with Jade but again, I understand.
This series is GENIUS. Here we have a truly amazing author presenting real-life concepts that some of us know all too well are a reality. Grief, addiction, mental health, all of these are experienced individually and culture, or perhaps, our upbrings, have taught us to keep it bottled up inside. That's not the way to go. Mental matters and you matter. Take care of your heart and brain. They are just as important as your muscles are to function.
Grab your tissue boxes, snacks, water and blanket. It's time to get emotional and steamy with Cole and Savannah. Seriously.... This book deserves 10 stars.

Review of advance copy received from Author
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (ARC Review)
I needed this book in a way that almost scared me.
After Rainfall, I couldn’t let these characters go , and Where I Land didn’t just continue the story, it cracked it wide open. This isn’t a redemption arc wrapped neatly in hope. It’s the aftermath. The spiral. The brutal, unfiltered weight of grief when survival mode stops being enough.
Cole has always been the fixer. The strong one. The one who holds everything together. Watching what happens when the person who fixes everyone else can’t fix the one thing that matters most is devastating in a quiet, relentless way. This story doesn’t offer easy lessons or inspirational monologues. It lets you sit in the wreckage.
And that’s what makes it powerful.
Grief here isn’t poetic , it’s suffocating. Addiction isn’t romanticized ,it’s raw and ugly and painfully human. The emotional arc isn’t about sudden clarity or dramatic turning points. It’s about unraveling. It’s about the slow realization that strength without healing will break you.
There were moments I had to pause because the heaviness felt real. Because the choices felt real. Because loving someone you can’t save is one of the most helpless experiences imaginable, and this book captures that with uncomfortable honesty.
Where I Land doesn’t try to comfort you. It challenges you to feel everything , the loss, the anger, the self-destruction, the fragile hope buried underneath it all.
This is the kind of story that lingers. The kind that leaves a weight in your chest long after you finish. And honestly? I love it for that.
Won’t get over the characters even if I wanted too … and that cliffhanger in the end … I thought there was more time … I really need the 3rd book out ASAP !!!! 🥹😭🥹😭

Where I Land is part two and a continuation of Rainfall picking up right where we left off but in Cole's point of view instead of Savannah's. I am going to try my hardest not to give any spoilers but bare with me because this book was absolutely emotional, raw in the most real way, and completely in every way authentic.
This book has a way of making you understand the feelings and the reality of someone who struggles with sobriety and it tugs on your heart strings. There were several tears shed throughout this book🤧. The different point of view compared to the first book was so affective in getting the story and backstory of Cole to the reader it makes you feel like you are actually there. The amount of times I wanted to climb into the book and hug Cole had me sobbing😭.
This book broke my heart 💔because it is so beautifully real and messy and it shows the struggles of a young couple fighting their way through addiction and a world that hasn't been kind to them.
Nikki you are a talented and gifted writer in the way you expressed the depth in this story. This is a book that everyone should read!! I am antsy for the third book, it can't come out fast enough!!
Favorite Quote from Cole🖤:
"I never wanted to fix you though. I loved you in the dark. I loved you even when the ground shifted. But love doesn't make you invincible. And no one tells you what to do when the thing that breaks is the one you love."

Review of advance copy received from Author
This is book two following Rainfall, and I want to be careful not to give too much away — but what I can say is this story is raw, real, and deeply emotional.
If you — or someone you love — has ever struggled with addiction or the journey toward sobriety, this story will reach straight into your heart. The first 45–50% of this book had me in tears almost every single chapter. It felt painfully real and incredibly relatable.
This story explores two people struggling with addiction while learning what it truly means to choose sobriety — all while trying to figure out life, love, and themselves at such a young age.
Nikki, this story is epically beautiful. It’s the kind of book that stays with you — one that stays into your heart. I’m truly speechless.
One of my favorite quotes from Cole 😭😭😭💔
“You make it feel like I can breathe without shutting everything off. Without running to something to quiet my head.” “You’re the only thing that’s ever made it feel possible to stay awake for my own life.”
Savannah’s words shattered me 💔
“Because I love you too much to keep watching you disappear for me.”
This is the kind of emotional read that reminds you why stories matter — why they heal, why they hurt, and why they stay with us.
An easy five-star read for me.
Epically beautiful. Epically raw. Completely unforgettable.

I have no words to describe how amazing this book is🥹it’s taken me a few days to recover from it and I’m still processing everything. It truly showed how messy the journey can be of a young couple who love each other all while struggling with sobriety and trying to figure out how to live life. The writing is raw and relatable, this emotional story about Savannah and Cole will tug at your soul and leave a lasting impression.❤️
I love how it picked up where book 1 left off, and if you read book 1 then YOU KNOW the scar it left behind with that emotional ending.🤧I cried within the first few pages of this story and continued to cry throughout the rest of the book. The ending wrecked me!😭 I can’t even explain the emotions I felt while reading it.
In this story we’re given Cole’s POV and his backstory, and oh my heart🥹it gave me a whole new understanding on why he was so broken. Then he meets Savannah and she becomes his everything - in all honesty he can do no wrong in my eyes, he’s absolute perfection.🥰Savannah’s resilience and determination to stay clean is truly incredible. She’s gone through so much at a young age and her continual strength is admirable.
“Losing him hurts more than anything I’ve ever survive. But loving him means letting him live.”
“No one tells you what to do when the thing that breaks is the one you love. The one you’d give anything to save. The one you love more than yourself.”
A million thank you’s to the author, Nikki Jimenez, for allowing me to read this advanced reader copy. Your writing is incredible, and I can’t wait till book 3 comes out!🩵

Let me just preface this review by stating you need to first read Rainfall.
‼️Triggers noted‼️
📌Mention of suicide
📌Miscarriage
📌Addiction and rehab
📌Substance abuse
📌Abusive history
📌Mental health struggles
This is a genuinely heartbreaking 💔 journey of addiction recovery. I really cannot say too much about the book because it will then entail spoilers.
✨Key points that really gripped me throughout this book✨
Healing is not linear, it will be different for each individual.
Addiction is a devil on your shoulder that never stop whispering, you just learn to live with it.
You have to choose it, and mean it, until you do, it will not work nor help you.
One is not able to breathe if you are constantly holding someone else above water.
Raw, painful, and still, the words wrapped around me like music. The book possesses such richness and an intensity to it that emotion just ripples off the pages. Latches on to you and doesn’t let go. I was in shock at the ending… 🫨
Tropes:
💚Mental Health Rep
💪🏻Protective MMC
👊🏻Resilient FMC
💊Addiction treatment/healing
🫂Found family/friends
Nikki takes you on an emotional journey starting in Rainfall, and it continues in this book.
I INCREDIBLY RECOMMEND 💯💯

"Because I love you too much to keep watching you disappear for me."
This books follows immediately after the events in Rainfall 🌧 continuing Cole and Savannah's trials of addiction and mental health. Focusing on Cole's struggles and how the weight of carrying everyone's burdens is taking its toll on him.
Where I Land, is a book about what actually happens after the unimaginable and how you keep going and the steps you take in the process.
I absolutely without a doubt, cried every chapter in this book 📖 😢. The depiction of grief, mental health and addiction are so RAW it really captures you. This series and couple have a permanent spot in my heart 💔🖤🌧.
Books 3 is coming soon in 2026 🫂

•Book 2 left me breathless•
Once again, I am ripped apart.
Where I Land is Nikki Jimenez’s follow up to her devastatingly beautiful first release, Rainfall. It picks up right where Rainfall left us, but also gives us looks back in Cole and Savannah’s love story from Cole’s perspective. Reliving their experience through his eyes adds such depth to their story, which I have carried in my heart since reading Rainfall last year.
The author writes with such realness, giving a pure and raw view into Cole and Savannah’s addiction and recovery. Moments of elation, lows beyond low and the gutting in-betweens gripped me through the whole book.
If you have not yet read Rainfall, you will want to read that stunning book first. (It was a top 5 of 2025 for me.) Then continue with Where I Land.
One thing I can promise you:
You will feel this book deep in your soul.
Thank you to the author for sharing an advance copy of this book with me. All opinions are my own.

I am so grateful (again) to Nikki, for allowing me to read her second book before it’s released! The themes of both of her books are heavy real-life events that can very easily be triggering to someone currently/formerly struggling with similar circumstances. Nonetheless, Nikki’s writing delivers and moves through these topics so beautifully, intertwined with a love so deep you can’t help but be fully captivated! I adore to read through the love story that is Cole and Savannah but more so, the level of love Cole has for her truly makes your heart ache. The depth at which his love reaches, gahhhh it hurts!

✨ ARC Review ✨
This is the second part to Cole and Savannah’s story and it is just as raw and heart wrenching as the first. Rainfall was told from Savannah’s POV but Where I Land is majority of Cole’s. He’s used to being the fixer and helping everyone around him survive so what happens when he feels like he failed? Cole is someone that insists he is fine when he is slowly dying inside because he doesn’t want anyone to have to take care of him. I wanted to give him a giant hug through most of the book. Once again the ending has me needing more of their story. Thank you so much for the tears Nikki!

I need time to recover from this emotional masterpiece of writing. I think I’m at a loss of words honestly. Savannah and Cole went through it and the ending broke my heart. Addition is real and has its ups and downs but when you hit rock bottom, you hit rock bottom and the only way to survive is up. They are both not there yet and I hope they will be in the next book! It’s gonna be one hell of a ride and HEA.

I needed this book as an ARC read because I couldn’t get the first book ‘rainfall’ out of my mind. I fear I’m still enthralled - Gut wrenching and beautifully human.
This book lets you sit in your grief, loss and addiction aren’t lessons - there are no learning points - this is uncomfortably real.
Where I fall is the kind of book that stays with you, and I love it for that.

Do you have those books that just stick with your soul? This is that for me. This book is heavy but it’s also real and raw. It deals with themes of addiction and substance abuse and it doesn’t shy away away from the grief, the guilt, and the utter destruction it leaves behind.
But under all the heavy is a beautiful love story of two souls just trying to find their worth in each other.

An easy 5⭐️ from me. I cannot put into words how fixated I am on this series. Every single word is written perfectly, it touches on such heavy topics but in the most heartbreaking yet captivating way…. As soon as you start you cannot stop and I just need to know what happens next. I care so so deeply for these characters and I’m routing for them all 😭
I NEED THE NEXT BOOK IMMEDIATELY

Okay so much is happening. ALL THE HEALING AND GROWTH FOR WHAT!!!!! I cried. No I’m sick over this and the third book ISN’T OUT YET!?!?! Cole’s downhill spiral is making me so unwell. The miscommunication was killing me softly right along with him and Savannah. Someone sedate me. They love each other so much. I’m in PAIN!!!

And that cliffhanger may not have been as bad as the first one but it still made me want to scream NIKKI the way Klaus screams REBECCA!
That's it, that's my review
Also you should read this book

I swear to god every single page had the word grounding/ground/grounded on it. Everything was landing, softening, grounding, understanding, familiar, or cracking something inside of them. It got so repetitive it was actually making me want to stop reading.

I need book 3 asap! I absolutely love Cole & Sav and this book shows perfectly that sometimes staying clean is harder than getting clean. They're quite co-dependent on each other as it's not always pretty as they try to navigate life sober. I'm rooting for them so hard and after that ending, I hope they get their peace and happiness in book 3.
