Book Cover & Preview Text
I was on the bus going back home after a hard, long year at my university, Royal Holloway, but I couldn’t be happier. I miss my school already, but I’m finally going to see mom, dad, Tommy and Marie. I looked out the window and everything was perfect. Almost too perfect. My sixth sense spiked up and I soon saw what was wrong. I got home and saw it was empty. I freaked out and tried my best to not cry. I ran around my house looking for them, but everywhere I looked just seemed to disappear. I screamed for everyone, but then I woke up in my bed. I was in my bed with my mom hovering around it. Marie was sleeping at my feet like a loyal puppy and dad was seated next to me. My bed was wet, but it didn’t smell, I guess I just cry a lot at night. “Mom? What happened?” “You had another nightmare honey.” I’ve been having them all summer. I hope they pass. After what happened in the past year, I just want my life to go back to normal. I got out of bed and slowly woke Marie up. I graduate this year and I want it to be perfect. I packed Marie and myself up and we set out to go to school. I dropped her off and NYC Middle school and set out to my high school. Noah met me halfway there and we walked together. It was raining that night so there were a lot of puddles around and so Noah and I decided to become members of Pepa pig’s family. We turned up to school a bit late and a bit muddier. Violet was waiting for us at the door as usual, but we ignored her as usual. We walked right past and I swear I could feel her slowly give up, but I refused to give in, at least not this year. We separated for class and I walked into English on my first day of senior year and decided that I only needed one friend this year, even if it was Noah. I walked from different classes to lunch, but the conversations I heard stayed the same. The topic? Noah and I. Everyone was convinced we had gone back to dating when all we are is friends. Maybe this year won’t be as prefect as I wanted it to be. Get ready for the best year of your life, I hope. Good luck. I felt myself daze off as my mind went back to last year. Before my life fell apart. When Vicky was my best friend.

About the Book
What happens when you fall? You scrape your knee or elbow right? You don’t end up in the past, trapped in some sort of time travel game? You best friend doesn’t fade away infinity war style? You don’t find yourself falling for a pirate instead? You don’t become best friends with Marie Antoinette? You don’t almost get executed by Cleopatra? No? How strange. Maybe the book I picked up was just really, really weird, because I tripped and ended up falling into the book I was reading. Try not to be a klutz like me. Try not to fall into your book. It will bring you so much heartache, you won’t even be able to breathe. It will make you feel like a queen and then rip your heart out and set it on fire. Enjoy reading this one though. I doubt you’ll fall into it, but you never know…
About the Author
Lea K. P. is a high school freshman born in June (Gemini). She’s half Macedonian and half Serbian. But, get this, she’s never lived in either of those countries. She’s lived in Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Cambodia, Israel, and Kenya but has never been in the countries of her origins for more than six months. She’s been to nine different schools, in under fourteen years, can you believe that?! She’s currently living in Nairobi with her two babies (they’re dogs, relax), her two bunnies, her brother, her mom and her dad. Lea is such a girly-girly but a badass (not true at all). Her favorite colors are pink, black and white. She loves wearing dresses, but prefers a hoodie. Lea has wanted a teacup pig for as long as she can remember, and so, she doesn’t eat pork. She really, truly hopes that you fall in love with her books.
