Description

Who would you be if you had one night to be anyone you want

Volunteering in New Orleans was supposed to be a change, an escape from the total mess Julie left at home and her brothers losing battle with PTSD. But building houses surrounded by her super-clingy team leader and her way-too-chipper companions has Julie feeling more trapped than ever. And shes had enough.

In a moment of daring, Julie runs away, straight into the glitter, costumes, and chaos of the Mid-Summer Mardi Gras paradeand instantly connects with Miles, an utterly irresistible musician with a captivating smile and a complicated story of his own. And for once, Julie isnt looking back. Together, Julie and Miles decide to forget their problems and live this one night in the here and now. Wandering the night, they dance on roofs, indulge in beignets, share secrets and ghost stories under the stars, and fall in love. But when a class-four hurricane changes course and heads straight for NOLA, their adventure takes an unexpected turn. And, suddenly, pretending everything is fine is no longer an option.

Richly evocative to the heart-racing end, Even If the Sky Falls is a swoon-worthy debut to indulge in to the very last note.

Reviews

"Wonderfully atmospheric writing, a setting to die for, and a whirlwind romance that takes my breath away. Garcia has written a book to fall in love with!" -- Renee Ahdieh, author of THE WRATH AND THE DAWN "A riveting page-turner about finding your true self in the midst of heartbreak and disaster, Mia Garcia's stunning debut is a reminder of how one night can change everything." -- Elizabeth Eulberg, author of BETTER OFF FRIENDS "A compelling 24-hour romance that's as charged as its New Orleans setting." -- Kirkus Reviews "In her debut novel, Garcia constructs a love story that captures the mysterious and beautiful spirit of New Orleans. The plot itself unravels like a hurricane, building and surging along with the storm." -- School Library Journal "Garcia's debut is a wrenching, high-stakes exploration of self-discovery. Readers of Gayle Forman, Sarah Dessen, and E. Lockhart will find themselves engaged by Julie's quest." -- Booklist
