Lighter - Gia Riley (Begin Again #1)

Published Date: February 16, 2015
Genre: New Adult
Synopsis: What do you do when you can't save the one you love? 

Sophie can’t survive without control. Growing up with an alcoholic father, she craves the discipline of gymnastics. Feeling lost on a brand new college campus, she lets loose for the first time in her life. But with freedom comes consequences. Is one night everything she hopes? Or will she become her own worst nightmare?

Kipton's one year away from graduation. He's never thought beyond a one night stand until meeting his sister’s new roommate. Finally setting his sights on the girl he can't resist, he's more determined than ever when she won't give in to his persuasions. He's always gotten the girl, and he's not about to give up without a fight. 

Will Sophie be able to salvage her dreams and wage a war against her own vices? Can she finally let love in? Or will history repeat itself causing her to self-destruct?

Lighter isn't your typical college romance. Darkness suffocates, dreams are dashed, and battles are lost. Love takes on a whole new meaning.

HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP, HOLY CRAP. 

I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. 

Sophie with the broken home finally escapes that to college. New life, new home, new friends, new stories to unfold. Gia Riley brings the tears to my eyes when we look into Sophie's life. She has had no control over her body but when she finally does, she runs into Kipton.

Heart throb Kipton is full on book boyfriend style.

Although I felt bad for Sophie and her awful life, I think that I just got tired of it all after a few moments. Everything else was fantastic except this portion which brought my mood down like 10x than it should have. 

3.7 out of 5 stars.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.
