About this ebook
A whirlwind 24-hour romance about two teens who fall in love in New Orleans on the brink of a hurricane, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Katie Cotugno.
When Julie needs an escape from family issues and her brother’s PTSD, she heads to New Orleans with her youth group. But their volunteer project makes her feel more trapped than ever. Desperate to break free, Julie ditches her paint clothes for tinsel fairy wings and heads straight into the heart of Mid-Summer Mardi Gras, where she locks eyes with an utterly irresistible guy named Miles.
Play-It-Safe Julie knows her group leader will be looking for her but the new, In-the-Moment Julie isn’t looking back . . . at least not tonight. So when Miles offers to show her the real New Orleans, she jumps at the chance. But the night takes an unexpected turn when a hurricane switches course and heads straight for New Orleans.
Mia García’s Even If the Sky Falls is a whirlwind, romantic story about a girl who discovers what it means to feel alive in the face of one of life’s greatest dangers: love.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Julia is going through a hard patch. Her beloved older brother has come back from his tour of duty changed. He is distant with everyone. He has terrible nightmares. He's drinking. But, worst of all, no one seems to see the problem but her. When he has a drunk driving accident and hurts one of her schoolmates, all Julia wants to do is run. She runs to a mission trip in New Orleans rebuilding houses. Unfortunately, this isn't giving her the distance and distraction she needed because of an overly "handsy" team leader named Tavis who is constantly trying to touch her and get her to talk about her feelings. After one final attempt to get close to her, Julia decides to run.Julia finds herself in the tourist area of New Orleans where a Midsummer party is going on. She is encouraged to take part and makes herself a pair of cellophane wings and joins in. A blue-haired boy playing a banjo catches her eye and invites her to come with him and his band. One night, no questions, no baggage. Just a chance to have some fun and forget the problems that sent her running.Soon the group splits up and Julia is on her own with the boy she called Miles as they visit interesting places in New Orleans. But as the night progresses, so does the progress of Hurricane Dorothy, which has New Orleans in its view. Miles and Julia get caught in the storm and almost drown.This was a romantic adventure with two strangers falling in love as they get to know each other over the course of one night. I enjoyed it very much.
