Fallen Leaves is the long awaited continuation of Selena's story from Purple Moon.
Though Fallen Leaves is a sequel book, it could be read as a standalone because many of the events are explained as they're referred back to, however because I loved Purple Moon so much, I definitely recommend reading that book first.
Just like with the first book, Selena is a high school girl dealing with family problems and school problems. She struggles with her faith, identity, and trusting her closest friends when things seem to come apart.
I loved revisiting Selena in her North Carolina town and it was great picking up where Purple Moon left off, and her character is just so REAL that she's easy to relate to. It's also a Christian, clean YA Contemporary book with no cursing or sexual content, though there are some high-school topics that Selena or her friends face.
Though I did enjoy Purple Moon much more than Fallen Leaves, I still give Fallen Leaves 5 out of 5 stars because I love Selena and her story is a touching one.
I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.
