All it takes is a second to trip. A second for your breath to be blown away, and to, at that moment, seemingly change your life forever. But if it takes a second to trip, it only takes milliseconds to fall. And when there is no one there to catch you, it only makes rock bottom that much worse. Gina Hartley and Tyler Finch met by chance, instantaneously becoming best friends who sidestepped into lovers as the summer before college cloaked them in a mess of chaos and loss. Asphyxiated by this wayward yet fascinating boy, Gina pours her heart into this interesting figure who in return rejects her emotions because of turbulence in his own life. Heartbreaking yet painfully refreshing, And Then She Tripped is a story of teenage romance which fractures because of the need to grow up and to leave a first love behind. Gina and Tyler must face each other, college, and most deprecating, themselves, in order to rise from the aftermath of the fall and finally look above.
