PRAISE FOR FEELS LIKE FALLING

"Two women in turmoil, two lives at a crossroads. Only Kristy Woodson Harvey can make sense of the sometimes devastating, often-times delicious dilemmas faced by the protagonists of her newest perfect beach read FEELS LIKE FALLING. Readers will fall in love with entrepreneur Gray, whose husband's betrayal leaves her feeling adrift and looking for something beyond career success, while plucky down-and-out Diana will win the hearts of those of us who always root for the underdog. Buckle up, buttercups, because FEELS LIKE FALLING feels like your next summer sizzler!" --Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Sunset Beach, The High Tide Club, and The Weekenders

"Kristy Woodson Harvey has the voice of a best friend; a storyteller of the finest sort. Feels Like Falling takes us on a page-turning journey with two very different women who must somehow find their way together. Harvey asks the important question -- how do we let go of the preconceived notions of our life ? And she answers that question with lyrical prose, an uncommon wisdom and a sharp wit. This is more than a novel about friendship, it is also a story for friendship: you will find yourself sharing it with everyone you love. Dive in; the storytelling is delicious!" --Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times Bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis

"Harvey creates genuine, capable, flawed protagonists and fun secondary characters, and readers will appreciate the thoughtful depiction of women supporting one another in an easy, breezy story. Fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe should add this to their beach read lists." --Booklist

Wow..pure garbage. I can't believe anyone would give this a good review. This can go straight to the Lifetime movie channel. I have no problem with summer "beach" reading, in fact, I love Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Kay Andrews, Nancy Thayer, etc. but the deepest conversation in this book consists of "You got away from me once, Diana, it won't happen again". And this is the prevailing theme of every character. They're all looking for the true loves of their lives, they all have money, spacious beach houses, and insignificant grievances (Diana being the exception, but even that changes). At least the character, Diana, had some substance, due to a crappy childhood, so when she got the ending of her dreams, I felt she deserved it. But the main character, Gray, was a young, attractive, self-made rich divorcee who did nothing but whine through the entire book. But, of course, she got her happy ending, too, along with every other character in the book. The vocabulary was meant for a 12 year old, the sentence structure meant for a simpleton. I only finished this crap so I could warn others not to waste their time or money.

I absolutely adored this book! I know that sounds like extreme praise, but this novel deserves it. It was one that kept me torn between not wanting to put it down and not wanting it to end. FEELS LIKE FALLING by Kristy Woodson Harvey pulls you in from the very beginning and weaves a story that will not let you go, even after you have finished the last word.
From the outside, Gray Howard seems to have it all, but looks can be deceiving. Her marriage has fallen apart, her soon-to-be-ex is trying to take half her company, her sister’s new marriage has turned her into someone Gray doesn’t know, and her mother passed away. She’s just barely holding things together when she meets Diana Harrington and inadvertently contributes to her getting fired. Losing her job was just the latest disappointment in Diana’s life: she broke up with her boyfriend after he left her broke, which also left her homeless. Her job wasn’t great, but it was something and it kept her on track toward her dream. When another encounter with Gray leads to first a job, and later, a place to stay, this odd couple is on track to what appears to be the unlikeliest of friendships but provides each with the strength, support, and love to navigate the next stages in their lives, let go of what they thought their life should be and embrace what makes them happy and find their future may not be what they expected or planned, but is what they needed.
Harvey has created two main characters who are complex and compelling. Despite their differing circumstances, their lives parallel in what they are experiencing. They both give each other the “tough love” when needed, and support the other no matter what, becoming not just friends, but family. Both characters are strong and weak in their own ways, and their friendship brings out the best in each. These are two women that I would love to be included their friend/family circle. The supporting characters are also well-developed and provide more depth to the main characters and the story. The setting is beautifully described and I could see myself in Carolina Beach and more specifically, at Gray’s home with all of them.
FEELS LIKE FALLING is a novel that will have you laughing and crying as you root on these two strong women and their lives. This is a novel you shouldn’t miss! It’s the perfect beach read or anytime read. Sit down and dive in!

I just finished Kristy Woodson Harvey's latest book and WOW! I loved it so much! I had pre-ordered this book because I've loved all of her earlier books and I wasn't disappointed! The wonderful characters, the great plot made this book one that I devoured. Now, it's over and I'm wishing I hadn't read it so quickly. These characters will capture your heart - you'll find yourself caught up in their lives and rooting for them to come out on top! I highly recommend this book!

The Best!

I've been on a Kristy Woodson Harvey marathon since the pandemic. I'm thrilled I discovered Kristy's many outstanding books and have found I cannot get enough. I'm longing for more! I thought Dear Carolina was the best and after each each book, there was no comparison. Kristy makes you delve into the book and become a part of the characters. They are all so relatable in oneway or another. I wish I could meet them all. Feels Like Falling characters were exceptionally real. I loved Gray and Diana. I must start all over and read each of Kristy's book again until a new one comes out.
Thank you Kristy W. Harvey. I met you at the 2016 Beaufort Wine and Food Festival as you promoted your first book. I adored your home and loved your first book Dear Carolina. And now I am hooked on you as a forever favorite author. Keep your books coming! I can't wait until we can all get together again for Book Club.

A Must Read for Summer 2020!

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020

Love. Family. Happiness. What would you do if the one that got away found you two decades later? Or if your husband is no longer in love with you and proposes to another woman before the divorce is final?

Gray and Diana are two very different women in very different situations. Gray, a successful entrepreneur, wife, and mother. Diana, raised in foster care, broke, with a trail of exes that all have one thing in common: their penchants for disappointment.

Gray and Diana both find one another and themselves as they both uncover real, unadulterated love.

I highly suggest this book by Kristy Woodson Harvey. A perfect summer read.

I can think of no one I would have preferred to spend some self sheltering time with than Gray and Diana, opposites who made each other stronger. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more written by Kristy Woodson Harvey.

Ok book.

First book I’ve read by this author & was expecting better. I was interested enough in the characters stories to keep reading but lacked a real connection to them. It was hard to like Gray because I felt she read older than 35 most of the time. I also felt a whole lot was squeezed into the last quarter of the book with little detail or story to it- it should’ve happened sooner or some left out to focus on one or 2 events.
