Kassidy Lockheart didn't expect much from transferring schools her sophomore year-until she met Logan Beckett. Kassidy, a talented volleyball player with a fiercely competitive streak, quickly captures the attention of Logan, the school's star quarterback and team captain. What starts as a playful rivalry soon blossoms into something deeper, a connection that surprises them both.
But love isn't always simple. Kassidy's wealthy family is anything but perfect, and Logan is juggling life with a hardworking mom and the absence of a father. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of teenage life, leaning on their close circle of friends for support. Yet as summer arrives, a single event changes everything, and the world Kassidy thought she knew begins to unravel.
By junior year, Kassidy is no longer the same girl who stepped onto campus a year before. Struggling to find her way back to herself, she distances herself from Logan and everyone else who cares for her. Their love, once unshakable, begins to crack under the weight of unspoken pain and unanswered questions.
Will the friendships and relationships make it through this tough time or will everything crumble?
With themes of love, friendship, family, and resilience, after the fall is a heartfelt journey about growing up, facing life's unexpected twists, and finding hope in the most unlikely places.
