Finally! A private
conversation. And all I had to do was throw myself off a cliff, drown in
a pond in my undies and let him put his hands on my breasts to bring me
back to life. Yay me…(yeah, that’s sarcasm)
Yep, that pretty much sums up the most craptastic night of Jenna Baker’s life. She drowns after jumping off a cliff, meets a hotty named Chance in the pearlescent in-between and is brought back to life by her soon-to-be boyfriend Robert.
Just when things start to move forward with Robert, the guy she'd been crushing on for a year now, in walks the man of her dreams – literally. Chance suddenly appears in her dream every time she closes her eyes. So it's Robert by day and Chance by night. One in the real world and one in the dream world. What could possibly go wrong?
Absolutely nothing – until she comes face to face with the guy she met in the in-between, and realizes her romantic rendezvous with Chance may be more than just her imagination.
Note: Jenna's coming of age story is a little edgy. There is mild language and some sexual content.--Goodreads

My POV
Falling In between is a steamy, fun, and emotional read. The story started out with an adrenaline rush and it just kept on going from there. This is Jenna’s story of living in between her fantasies and realities. Then when she realizes that her fantasy man might be too real for comfort she is left with the ultimate question. Who to chose??
I would say that Jenna is a serious, pensive, reserved but fun kind of person. That’s why her fantasies are so appealing to her. She can let herself go in her “dreams”. Be who ever and do whatever she wants without any true consequences. Except for fall in love. She lacks the silly carefree sprit of her rich classmates due to her upbringing and history of being orphaned.
Sophie is Jenna’s best friend and total opposite. She is a total riot to read. Jhett is Sophie’s love interest/boyfriend. Robert is Jhett’s best friend and roommate. He has fallen for Jenna after months of Jenna drooling over him. Robert has many great things going for him that make him very compatible with Jenna. He is fun, attractive, faithful, determine, devoted, thoughtful, loving, caring, and patient. In order to have a relationship with Jenna you would need most of those traits because she has not taken a chance on love before and doesn’t really know how. So patients and determination plays a good roll in why they stay together.
Jenna’s fantasy man Chance brings out a whole new and wild side to Jenna and she has a great time with him. The firsts time she meets Chance is when she dies by drowning after jumping off a cliff in order to prepare for her “surprise” meeting with Robert and Jhett. After being brought back to life she meets Chance in her dreams every night. But things start to get too real for Jenna and one day reality strikes when a coma patient she is asked to read to looks just like Chance.
This was an all around fun read and I hope we get to see more of this story since Devon left us with a some doubt about Jenna’s choice. This book contains a lot of mature situations. Lots of intimate scenes and adult language and situations. Definitely for mature young adults.

"Well," she answered, hesitating, "Robert was teh one that gave you mouth-to-mouth, so technically, you guys had your first kiss and you weren't even alive for it."
I chuckled weakly and asked, "Was it as least good?"
" I believe he slipped you the tongue." Sophie winked her left eye.
"Well I love you. And I'm not going to leave you like everyone else did." With a smile, he added, " So stop fighting me already."
