Evicted from her apartment due to her roommates’ poor spending habits, Dominic "Kole" Summers finds her quest to gain control of her life after incarceration takes a double spin when she is forced to accept the generosity of her estranged birth mother. After what her mother allowed a boyfriend to do to Kole, there was no way she could agree to this unexpected mother/daughter reunion. But, that was before her return to familiar roots brought her face-to-face with her childhood friend, Jesse Palmer. As gorgeous as ever, Jesse’s devotion to her had not changed; but his spirit had. Jesse had found purpose in his life, as had Kole’s mother and new stepfather. With their constant assurance and determined faith in God, Kole embarks on her own journey into unfamiliar territory.

Tiffany Campbell’s novel Don’t Disconnect brings to light an unusual twist on a modern young adult scenario. As the story evolves, the plot reflects the main character’s growing faith after the struggles of a cruel and abusive childhood. The reality demonstrated in Campbell’s words is powerful. Not only does the author touch on the ever-growing theme that was brought to the big screen with the success of John Greene’s A Fault in the Stars, I feel that this area of health concern among young readers to be highly relevant. Tiffany Campbell incorporates a much neglected area of spirituality that offers the reader a stronger sense of hope than the moving passages of cancer treatment. This is sincerely a story of hope, a wonderful story.

Don't Disconnect by Tiffany Campbell is the story of a woman who ran away from home, but life brought her back to where she started. Her name is Dominic "Kole" Sommers and she is unlike any other woman you might have met or read about. With a chip the size of Mars on her shoulder, Kole knows that no one does anything for free. Even the people you trust the most have the power to hurt you. She was alone when she was 11 years old and that has not changed now that she is 22 years old.

However, life has brought her to a point where she has to go back to the place she hates: she has to go back home. Amidst the old pain and old wounds, Kole is just trying to breathe and get through one day at a time. But there is someone in that place that has always been a bright star: Jesse Palmer. He is showing her a side of life she had no idea she was capable of. She is happy and she smiles when she is with him. But will she give Jesse a chance to show her the true potential of love and happiness? Or will she let her past override her future.

Don't Disconnect by Tiffany Campbell is a very emotional novel that you will instantly connect with. The story is very powerful and you will just fall in love with Kole and Jesse. Kole had a wonderful character development, her growth from an emotionally scarred woman to a woman in love and brave enough to express it was just amazing. I loved the way Tiffany expressed her story, I love how she mentioned the story of an African American girl and made it every girl’s story. Very well-written and composed. I loved reading it.
