I wanted to jump.
He made me fall.
As a celebrity, I lived in the public eye, but somewhere along the way, I’d lost myself in the spotlight.
Until he found me.
Sam Rivers was a gorgeous, tattooed stranger who saved my life with nothing more than a simple conversation.
But we were both standing on that bridge for a reason the night we met. The secrets of our pasts brought us together—and then tore us apart.
Could we find a reason to hold on as life constantly pulled us down?
Or maybe there’s only one direction to go when two people fall in love at rock bottom—up.
In this latest book by Aly we meet Levee, she has the world at her feet, a pop star, a princess and fame, but is it all as it seems to be. This is a young woman that is plagued by an illness that is very real in today's world. Dealing with issues of Mental Illness and Suicide, we see how it affects these characters and how they get on in their lives. Levee is affected by a tragedy she experienced as a child.
Sam is the other character we meet who himself is dealing with the loss of someone very close to him. Unable to move past it and into the future.
These two characters meet, unknowing to Sam who Levee really is, we watch the story unfold between the two of them and how they deal with their individual issues and come together.
Aly has written a book that broaches the subject that has a sigma attached to it, and she has done an fantastic job with it. There are laughs, tears and understanding in this book, and it is a subject that is very close to my heart.
A really fantastic read.

Excerpt
“You’re overdoing it, Lev. I know this job isn’t exactly nine-to-five, but it’s not twenty-four-seven, either. You have to stop being Levee Williams all the time and just be you.”
“I know,” I responded.
I didn’t though. I felt like a robot parading around in a lost woman’s body.
Smile.
Pose.
Turn.
Toss in the occasional song.
Repeat.
What little time I did manage to carve out for myself was spent at various children’s hospitals across the country.
Smile.
Pose.
Turn.
Watch a child die.
Repeat.
With every day that passed, the smile became less and less genuine, the pose more and more forced, and the turn took me further and further away from who I really was.
My career was soaring while, personally, I was plummeting. Every single day felt like a terrifying free fall in no particular direction. I was stuck in the middle with no way up—or down.
“You remember that girl, right?” Henry asked, tucking a hair behind my ear.
I nodded.
I did remember her. She was fun and carefree. She loved going out and dancing at nightclubs until the very last song played. She slept until noon if she could. Then, fueled by coffee alone, she’d spend the day with a guitar strapped around her neck and a notepad at her side. She had a huge heart, but she knew her limitations.
Oh, I remembered that girl. I just couldn’t figure out how to get back to her.
