Leaves before they fall is a realistic fiction, containing the elements: drama, romance, and a little bit of adventure. The piece of Young adults fiction proves the true reality a human faces instead the fantasies we wish to live. Does love conquer all? Can Winter and Aidan finally be happy? Can the past, their past, at last fade away so they can live for tomorrow? We do know by now that no one is happy forever. So what would happen if the sun collided with the moon. "Tell me the story," he whispered in her ear "about how the sun that loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breathe." Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it's everything in between that makes it all worth living.
