Feels Like Falling

By: Kristy Woodson Harvey

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro Foster, Amanda Ronconi

THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

From “the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin Hilderbrand) comes an evocative summer beach read of friendship, second-chance romance, and life reinvention—an odd-couple tale set on the North Carolina coast that asks just how much our past choices define our happiness.

It’s summertime on the North Carolina coast and the livin’ is easy.

Unless, that is, you’ve just lost your mother to cancer, your sister to her extremist husband, and your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life, she inadvertently gets a stranger, Diana Harrington, fired from her job at the local pharmacy.

Diana Harrington’s summer isn’t off to the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only a worn-out Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest house and a very guilty conscience.

With Gray’s kindness, Diana’s tide begins to turn. But when her first love returns, every secret from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana’s help, that what she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at all.

In her warmest, wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.

Great story. Narrator were not.

Loved the story but not the narrators. The only reason I finished it was because I loved the story. Wish I would’ve read the actual book.

Good Book...Easy Listen

I enjoyed listening to this easy book while walking and sitting in my garden. Just a good book about people from different backgrounds trying to find their way through life.

LOVE!

I LOVED this book!!! Fell in love with the characters, especially Dianna. She and the others had me laughing out loud more times than I can count.

Cute, but...

Likeable characters and a good story, but a bit too much love at first sight, husband material, pretty people language for my taste. On one hand, the women seemed strong, smart, fun, and I loved their close friendship. On the other hand it seemed like all they cared about was finding a man. Eye roll. The narrators were great, especially Amanda Ronconi. She is amazing always.

Above Average Beach Read

The characters of Gray Howard and Diana Harrington are very well developed, which is sometimes rare in a chick lit book. Although the two women come from completely different backgrounds, they form a surprisingly strong friendship after Gray hires down-on-her-luck Diana to be her maid. At first, the idea of Gray of becoming involved with a man eight years her junior is kind of off-putting but Andrew is so sincere in his devotion to Gray, I came around by time the book was over.
The narration was excellent. I especially appreciated Diana’s genuine Southern drawl, being from the South myself. I highly recommend this charming book!
