Great summer read!

Perfect book for summer reading-- enjoyable plot that moved at a nice pace with interesting characters that revealed their stories throughout. Definitely recommend!

Where we fall

Very good read about lessons learned from past mistakes. The suspense of what was going to happen in the end had me fighting to stay awake to finish the book ..

Morally wrong. Just so wrong....ugh

Ok I don't usually write reviews, just rate them all, but this book is just so morally wrong that I struggled the whole time. The reason I had to finish it was to see if someone woke in the end and it was all a dream! Ryan made out to be some big hero? Give me a break. Lauren? A little wench that came back to town to break up a family and marriage. Even so bad as to make fun of mental illness. Just so BAD

Outstanding book (no spoilers review)

Would you consider the audio edition of Where We Fall to be better than the print version?

The characterizations are voiced to near perfection. I have not read the print version.

What other book might you compare Where We Fall to and why?

Somewhat similar to On Golden Pond, Terms of Endearment, Rebel Without a Cause, Ordinary People...... any good drama with human flaws and poignancy. The author has created a good story with compelling characters. It resonates with authenticity and is destined for accolades.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love Kate Rudd's narration and that is one of the reasons I chose this title. The other narrators perform extremely well and support their characters such that you feel you can "know" them (the characters). To me a great read is one where you can lose yourself in both the story and the characters. This is one of those reads.

Who was the most memorable character of Where We Fall and why?

I'm not going to call out one specific character. I will say that those readers who are psychologically minded will immediately recognize some common diagnosis in several characters......;)

Any additional comments?

Again, this is an excellent read. The only parts I "didn't like" were because I didn't like the character: NOT because of poor writing, but because it was so WELL WRITTEN that I wanted to cringe.

Awesome

Really enjoyed this book. I listened to it on audible while I walked and cleaned. I was pulled in immediately, I also experience anxiety and depression. You know having a mental illness is no different than having cardiac or a kidney disease. We all need medicine to survive.

Any additional comments?

This book was just OK for me. The narration was great but the story was a little predictable.

Staying power

This is definitely one of those stories that will stay with you. Beautifully written and it pulls you in. The narration was pleasant to listen too. Hint... Bring tissue.

Ending wasn't great.

Book was ok but definitely not worth paying for. I will keep looking for different books

Heartbreaking

very good story great characters awesome narrators but very heartbreaking sometimes doing what is right is the hardest and saddest thing to go through

Review of Where We Fall

I enjoyed reading this book. It had it’s ups and downs. What I thought would happen, did. Abby gives Ryan permission to be with the love of his life, Lauren. I give the a rating of 4.
