“Releasing a book in the middle of a national shutdown is a pretty difficult thing to do, especially when you're accustomed to touring, but bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey (who also happens to be my friend) makes it look easy. It helps that her latest, FEELS LIKE FALLING, is exactly the kind of book we all need right now--a wonderfully escapist beach read that also deals with persevering in tough times. You'll be swept away by this story of two women from different walks of life who learn to rely on each other--and you'll be reminded of the power we all have within ourselves to survive the challenges life throws at us. Elin Hilderbrand calls Kristy ‘the next major voice in Southern fiction’, and I couldn't agree more; she's a master of the perfect blend of beach and heart, and her star is most definitely on the rise.”
