Earphones Award Winner (AudioFile Magazine)

Seventeen-year-old Jonah Daniels has lived in Verona Cove, California, his whole life, and only one thing has ever changed: His father used to be alive, and now he is not. With a mother lost in a deep bout of depression, Jonah and his five siblings struggle to keep up their home and the restaurant their dad left behind. But at the start of summer, a second change rolls in: Vivi Alexander, the new girl in town.

Vivi is in love with life. Charming and unfiltered, she refuses to be held down by the medicine she's told should make her feel better. After meeting Jonah, she slides into the Daniels household seamlessly, winning over each sibling with her imagination and gameness. But it's not long before Vivi's zest for life begins to falter. Soon her adventurousness becomes all-out danger seeking. Through each high and low, Vivi and Jonah's love is put to the test...but what happens when love simply isn't enough?

This book had me showing so many emotions. It made me hate the characters but love them at the same time. It made me so confused and unable to comprehend the plot because of its complicated characters . But it also made me look at life a new way. To find joy in the hurt and to look at life in front of me instead of behind or in the future. So this book was an amazing tornado.

amazing take on a struggle that doesn't get nearly enough literature. pulse narrator's did a very good job of bringing the characters to life. and the author wrote a wonderful, and balanced story between two characters

AWESOME

it was narrated very well in the storyline was very beautiful but I still think it could have been happier. I'm not sure I would read any other of the author's books but this was a really good one.

it was a good read

I really enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to. The performance really made the choice of audible a great experience, rather than simply reading it.

Overall the story felt very genuine. For talking about such heavy subject matter, it actually made me laugh a lot. If anyone you love struggles with the issues they mentioned, this book can really give a peek into what it's like to deal with great loss of loved ones and loss of self to the demons many must fight every day.

A great read and audible experience

I'm a grandmother and I loved every moment of this "young adult" novel. It dealt lovingly with real life issues and left me with tears and laughter

Wow. This story is a feast

Would you consider the audio edition of When We Collided to be better than the print version?

Never read the print edition but LOVED the audio version!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of When We Collided?

Jonah Daniels is one of six children in a family struggling with the sudden death of a beloved father and a mother who can't get out of bed due to her deep grief. Into Verona Cove, Vivi bounds in and falls in love with Jonah and each of the Daniels children. As Vivi's love of life, excitement, and adventure patches up the Daniels family, Jonah finds hope, love and healing with Vivi. I could not stop listening to this audiobook (I kept finding reasons to walk, exercise or just sit and listen) that was gripping, heartbreaking and true. Vivi, narrated by Elizabeth Evans was funny, sensitive and kind while Jonah narrated by Raviv Ullman was shy, hopeless, and ultimately changed as a result of knowing and loving Vivi. What will the future hold for these two seventeen year old teens with seemingly insurmontable problems? A must read for those who love romance, struggling teens, and family problems. Can't wait to read Lord's, The Start of Me and You, bring on the romances with lots of drama!!!

Not what I originally expected, but I think there were some great messages conveyed in this book. I listened before gifting to my teen daughter just to see what I was buying her and think she'll have a good read herself. Would recommend and plan to check out other titles by her as well.

Real and relatable
