Collide by Nicole Sobon Publication date: 15 December 2017
Publisher: Inkspell Publishing
Three simple words were all it took to change their lives forever.
Losing a loved one is hard. Learning to survive in their absence? That’s even harder. For Gemma Michaels, life had become difficult following her brother’s death, but the one thing that kept her afloat was the one thing she knew she shouldn’t have desired – her best friend, Ben.
He’d made a promise to her brother – to protect her, no matter what. For Ben, that had meant that she was off limits. But then she slips and tells him the three words he’s been waiting to hear.
Love happens when you least expect it.

Collide is the first book in The Collide Series and tells the story of Gemma and Ben. Gemma and Ben have been friends for such a long time, but they are falling for each other. They have even been in love with each other for such a long time but Gemma always thought that Ben didn’t feel the same way about her, that he saw her as just a friend…
Collide is such a beautiful and short book. I read it in one sitting and I enjoyed every page of it. The story is really fast paced and you can totally relate to it.
Gemma is a very anxious and socially awkward, and I’m totally like her. The book begins with Gemma and Ben going out and Gemma totally doesn’t want to because she’s rather at home with a book and she says that ‘As much as I wanted to be social, being around people tended to make everything worse.’ And that’s so me, so I really loved that I could relate to Gemma.
When I read about Ben, I immediately thought of my boyfriend. Before my boyfriend and I were together, we were best friends and he was in love with another girl. I always hated that other girl even though she didn’t do anything wrong, but I was always a good friend that helped him get the girl. My boyfriend is just like Ben, the one who saved me from my unhappiness, like Ben saved Gemma from her brother’s death.
I really loved Gemma and Ben and I cannot wait to continue this series because of that ending… Give me book 2 already!!!
