My life is a mess.
I'm walking around with a black eye. My position on the hockey team is questionable at best, and if that’s not bad enough, I think I'm falling for my dead girlfriend's best friend.
Every day, it's a fight to feel alive, and yet, I drink to numb the pain. Everyone is standing back, watching me fall apart.
Everyone except Hannah. No matter how many times I push, she's there to pull me back. She refuses to let me spiral any deeper. And after one kiss—she’s impossible to ignore.
Unfortunately, it seems she and I aren’t the only thing being kept a secret.
"What a phenomenal read, definitely one of my favourites from 2019."- Ever Growing Book Obsession
"The author didn't just make me feel the book. She made me live it, experience it and breathe it. I loved each and every swoon-worthy, heart fluttering, heartbreaking, painful and devastating moment. " - K&M Sultry Reads, Meredith
"This book will pull you in, it will pull your heart strings, and in the end it will break you." -Goodreads Reviewer/Bookstagrammer @Reading_Junkie28
"Under a Different Sky is intensely moving and downright soulful. This read will pull at your heartstrings, send your heart soaring, as well as rip it out entirely. All the feels, all the stars, and an epic read you can’t miss!"- SWBR Book Blog & Reviews, Sarah N.
Her fingers rub against each other like they’re trying to control themselves. Does she want to reach out and touch me? The thought of her being nervous makes me smirk. Her eyes scan up my legs, to my bare chest, and stop on my lips. She bites down on her own, and I can’t help but notice the pink hue on her chest. She’s losing it. There’s a power in that, an exhilaration that’s hard to ignore. I need to remember to lose the shirt more often. “I never noticed...” she whispers, moving her hands down to her sides. “I mean, I noticed. I just never...” “Allowed yourself too long to appreciate it.” I move toward her. “Right.” Her chest rises and falls rapidly, like she has zero control of herself. “And what about now? Are you going to allow yourself?” My last step brings me to her feet, and I straddle one leg while standing above her. Her chin lifts, and her hair skims over her back. “It’s probably not a good idea.” “Sometimes the bad ideas are the ones that change our lives, Hannah. Let me change everything.” I lean down, inching my lips closer to hers. “I know you said you didn’t want me to kiss you yet, but...”
Review:
This book left a lump in my throat. I couldn't imagine being 17 and having the life that was dealt to Nick and his group of friends. Being a teenager is hard enough, trying to figure out life, but to have to deal with very grown up issues is the last thing you want your senior year. My heart was ripped out and I just wanted to hug Hannah. She did the best she thought she was doing, who knew it wouldn't quite be enough. There was so much raw emotion shared in this story and I cannot wait for more. Lindsey told a superb heartfelt drag out fight of life for these kids.
Lindsey Iler is the author of the Our Worlds series. She's had her feet planted in the state of Michigan since she was born and she still lives there with her husband and four kids.
When she's not writing, she's spending time with family and friends, listening to music, and reading.

She finds inspiration from music and the people around her.
