Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey

Book Excerpt:

"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."

Review:

"Feels Like Falling" by Kristy Woodson Harvey

My Speculation:

I enjoyed "Feels Like Falling' by Kristy Woodson Harvey. We find Gray Howard, who was successful in business but not so much in her marriage. Moving on, we see Diana Harrington has had a hard life now. She was living in her car due to be fired from her job. The way this author brings these two ladies together was simply magical as how they meet, and a strong friendship will arise. The story will have a lot of emotions from 'Loneliness, hope, despair, sadness, death, joy, touches of humor, tears, to a HEA.' I loved how this story was a 'blend of differences that shines a light on how great similarities' that these two protagonists both processed.

For anyone who loves women's fiction, with good dialogue, southeastern coastal summers, and interesting characters, this read would be for you to enjoy to the end.

One good quote from this story: "Sometimes we get right where we need to be by ending up exactly where we started."
