Being the only mother figure for all the consequences of my father's reckless actions is difficult enough. Now my life just took a leap forward into an even more difficult journey. 


My name is Lynn, Lynn Sweetheart. I am the care taker of all my siblings which turns out to be a lot. Ever since the death of my beloved mother, my family has fallen into chaos. As my brother and I began to understand that we would never see our 'mommy' ever again, my father took a fall.


 He held up an act of strength for about a year before he started making terrible decisions. He began drinking on weekends when he wasn't working at the office. The drinking led to me having numerous more siblings of which the mothers wanted nothing to do with. Having my father work his days away to keep money flowing into the bank for all his neglected children, I was left to be the parental figure.


 Now in my final year at school, I just happened to bump into the four new boys. Little did I know that after that one bad encounter would my, and my rather extended family lives would change forever.


 For better or for worse? I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

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.
