These are the questions Annika asks herself in the novel Highfall.
Annika falls down many times but never gives up and always gets back on her feet. Her life is one long roller-coaster with the unexpected at every turn. As a result she turns from unassuming teenager into a strong woman.
My Review: I got this book for review and really enjoyed this book. This book is based on true events, and the author took it and wrote it all down perfectly.

Things are okay until his friends show him drugs and he starts to use. These drugs ruin a lot in his life, the job is gone and she tries to get him help and reach out. but things just aren't working.

She learns about life and how she will make her own choices and live her life to be happy. When she decides to make a larger decision with the second boyfriend, life hits another hard turn.
The life she knew isn't there anymore. Dull and boring, went from making hard choices and dealing with real life in a different light.
This book was moving and is a good read. Though it's not easy at some points, so do think about everything this boo offers before diving in.
