There’s a single defining moment within every skater. It lasts only a second. Two if you're good. Three if you’re really good. It’s the moment you’re in the air, your board somewhere beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you. It’s the feeling of being airborne.

The sixteen-year-old version of me would’ve said it was the greatest feeling in the world. Then at seventeen, I had my son. And every single second became a defining moment. Even the ones that consisted of heartbreak when his mother left us.

Seventeen. Single. Dad. That’s what my life became. Yet, every day, I managed to find that feeling of being airborne. Or at least I convinced myself I did. But I lied—to myself and to everyone around me. Until she showed up; Tanned skin, raven dark hair, and eyes the color of emeralds.

You know what sucks about being in the air? Coming down from the high. Sometimes you land on the board and nail the trick. Then kick, push, and coast away. Other times you fall. You fall hard. And those are the times when it’s not as easy to get back up, dust off your pads and try again. Especially when the girl with the emerald eyes becomes your drug... And you become her poison.

Review by Gia:
Wow, this one is a drop everything and read now book.   It's one of those books that will touch your heart but also take you through a roller coaster of emotions.   We met Josh and his son Tommy in Where the Road Takes Me but if you haven't read that one yet, you should be ok just jumping into this one.

Josh at seventeen finds himself a single dad to Tommy. Tommy's mom Natalie found it too much and left.   Josh is an amazing stand up guy and puts his son first. Life for Josh has not been easy.   He has a great woman named Chazarae that offers help without even knowing much about him.   He has his best friend Hunter and Hunter's girlfriend Chloe and his uncle and aunt their for support too.

Chazarae has a granddaughter Chloe who comes to sty with her.   Chloe doesn't talk much and has her own issues. Together Josh and Chloe break down the walls they both have up.   Things don't always work out they way we would like them and this story brings us through a lot of ups and downs.

I was surprised by the ending. It definitely left me wanting more, I can't wait to read the next one.5 Amazeballs Stars!!!
