“The Inconvenient Process of Falling” Book Review
Seven childhood friends plan a camping trip after their first year in college: the sort of reunion intended to bring them back together after months of separation and new experiences. There's only one trouble with such an ideal: you often can't go home again and even in a few months' time, people change - sometimes drastically.
In this case, none of the protagonists realize how much they've changed until they get back together - and this process is presented in The Inconvenient Process of Falling, a novel about evolution in its truest sense.
Now, plenty of stories have been written about coming of age, or old friends getting back together. Usually these take place over quite a long period of time (often, years) and usually they revolve around different personalities and their choices in life.
The difference here is a focus what a short time frame can bring in the way of changes when it comes to youth; and the fact that all the friends are over-achievers who share similar backgrounds and traits.
Against this backdrop it's intriguing to see how events transform people. Advanced young adult readers on the cusp of adulthood (especially those in their senior year of high school) will find The Inconvenient Process of Fallingto be a particularly inviting approach that plunks a group of individuals into the wilderness and proceeds to neatly outline the differences between high school and college friendships: "She’d spent eighteen years cultivating the image that she would present in college. Her apathy towards her high school classmates gave her confidence; she really did not care what they thought of her, but she realized that she really did care what her college friends thought of her. They were the ones that mattered."
This story is for anyone who has come to believe that what was important or apparent in high school has changed, and it charts the process in a story that seniors, especially, will appreciate.

Writing is an extreme privilege but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself and it's a gift of giving a story to someone.
