After the battle between Earth's Mightiest Hero's and Ultron, the world never quite recovered. Society was thrown off balance everywhere, save for a few places. Children and teens were forced to grow up quickly, go to school and then off to fight in the oncoming of a war. Meanwhile, the Avengers began to choose sides, each believing their own aspect on how they should be managed different. However, they were oblivious to the consequences of their actions.
Jillian, a twenty-one year old girl part of the U.S. Marine was shipped off to the military at an age of seventeen, thrown face first into the raw anger of war. Without a choice, she had to remain in the military until she had fulfilled her assigned duty, and be able to afford a trip back to her family. For her, everything is at stake. However, with the Avengers taking over government operations, and stealing military jobs out from everyone's boots, teens and adults are sent home to live on the streets.
Teresa Jacobs, a nineteen year old girl part of the U.S. Air Force. Teresa has worked her whole life to get to where she stands today, fighting through her depression was hard for her as a teenager, but now she is back on her feet, ready for the next thing thrown at her. With SHIELD taking over the military, people are being let go from their jobs faster than ever, and Teresa isn't about to give up everything she's worked for.
Both girls are willing to fight, through thick and thin, to keep their jobs, even if it means getting their hands a little dirty in the process.
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . .
What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart.
Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about.
To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . .
When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start.
Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.
