Resisting Gravity
Eighteen-year old Sophia knows if she doesn't escape her hometown, she may as well die alongside her twin sister. So when she gets an acceptance letter to a university across the country, it doesn't take long to throw her things in a bag and leave her troubles burning in the California sun. Determined to carve herself a place at Franklin University, Sophia isn't letting anything faze her. Not her quirky roommate, who appears to be on the verge of killing Sophia's panty-pilfering cat. Not even the guilt that haunts her every waking moment. Things are going according to plan until Landon Sinclair blows it all to hell. Jaded and darkly sarcastic, Landon seems intent on driving Sophia ballistic. All she wants is a good grade on their project, and all he wants are her secrets. But Sophia's not the only one with something to hide. A dangerous stalker from Landon's not-so-past appears, seeking revenge for Landon's actions at an ill-fated party four years ago. With a psychopath on the loose, not only is Sophia's budding relationship with Landon on the line, but her life itself hangs in the balance. Will Landon stop running and finally come clean...or will he cut Sophia loose?

Content Warning: addiction, drowning, finding a family member dead & mentions of attempted suicide
I remember first stumbling across this book on Wattpad years ago now, I used to read faithfully read the book chapter by chapter as it was put up on Wattpad and I remember thinking to myself, I hope one day it gets published because I'd love to own this book. Whilst this book is definitely has a focal point on the romance, there's also some dark themes that are important to the story and its characters which may be triggering for some people.
I still adored the characters this time around, Raven and Sophia's friendship is amazing and I loved Jesse and Landon still this time around. There were some typos/missing words here and there and I wasn't a huge fan of the Epilogue jumping over to all the important characters. BUT I still adored this book and I adored Sophia and Landon's friendship and watching them realise they like each other. I'd say this is perfect if you're looking for a New Adult book which is fast paced and are comfortable with the content warnings listed at the top.

It made me smile, but the plot was really circular. I don’t want to read the story again, but I would read more from the author.
