Southern fiction is becoming one of my favorite genres. Feels Like Falling has a lot of Southern charm, and family drama. Loved the characters and the storyline. Kristy Woodson Harvey is becoming a new favorite author . I am anxiously awaiting the next book by this author. Thanks netgalley fir gifting me an arc of this book. The opinions are my own.

Thanks to the publisher/Netgalley for a copy to read & review
A must read for anyone who loves Southern Fiction. This story has everything you could want-friendships (old & new), romance (old & new), a little family drama and a touch of humor to balance it all out! This book does alternate point of view from chapter to chapter-you get a little from Gray and a little from Diana, but it all comes together and flows beautifully. I found myself bring torn between wanting to read more and wanting to slow down and take my time, to make it last longer. Kristy Woodson Harvey never disappoints, you won’t want to miss this one!

A story of loss and heartbreak, friendship and family, and having the courage and strength to start over. When Diana meets Gray neither are having a good day. But that negative first encounter leads to a connection and something unexpected. This story of strong women and friendship is the perfect antidote for a grey day.

I loved Feels Like Falling. It has it all! Overcoming hardships, starting over, friendship, family, business problems, and romance. The characters are well developed and real. I liked them all. My one disappointment is that the book ended before I was ready to say goodbye to the characters. I would love to know what happens next in their lives.

Another great read by one of my favorite southern fiction authors! I loved the friendship between Diana and Gray. Two different social statuses but with very similar issues of the heart. There is something for everyone in this book. Friendships, starting over after a divorce and juggling your child with the ex, homelessness, a past revisited, and cougar dating!! Loved it all. The characters are so real; especially Diana and her honesty and humor. Get ready for a great beach read in May 2020! Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for the ARC for my honest opinion.

This story was full of southern charm and interesting characters. While the story mainly follows two women who become unlikely friends, the cast of characters includes dependable friends and family members with complicated relationships. An enjoyable read, my first by Kristy Woodson Harvey, but definitely not my last. Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the advance reader copy, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to Netgalley and Gallery, Pocket Books for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.
This book made me miss home like it used to be back when I was a kid and everything was simpler. Diana and Gray feel like they could be my best friends. I feel like I have gotten to know them in this story and want to be there laughing and loving right along with them.
Great book and I really just want more of Diana and Gray or maybe just more by this author.

I’ve said it before, but it is so true - Kristy Woodson Harvey’s writing continues to evolve with each and every novel she puts out. Feels Like Falling will have readers wishing they were at the coast right there with Gray, Diana and crew..

Feels Like Falling examines the dynamics of two individuals from very different backgrounds. Diana from a less fortunate history and Gray who has worked hard to build her empire. Thrown together by an unfortunate situation, they find they bring out the best in each other. Then throw in some good old fashioned love stories for each of them and what Kristy Woodson Harvey ends up with is a fantastic, sure to be a hit beach read for 2020.

Put this on your TBR now, go pre-order it - I promise you, you will not regret it!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC. Kristy Woodson Harvey has written a wonderful story about friendship. The unlikely friendship between Gray and Diana is one we all wish we had. I loved the way both women helped each other to grow and learn more about themselves while helping each other. All of the friends in this story are people we’d all like to be surrounded by. I laughed and cried while reading this story!

Gray, 34 is in the midst of divorce and struggling with what is next for her. She wants to protect her son Wagner and the multi-million dollar business that she built from the ground up. She meets Diana, who is recently unemployed and homeless. What follows is an unlikely friendship between to two as they get back on their feet and redefine themselves. At the same time they both find love in unexpected places.

Kristy Woodson Harvey writes a coastal setting brilliantly. It evokes summer in the best ways. The unlikely friendship between Gray and Diana is well-written. While they are not that far apart in age, Diana almost takes on a surrogate mother role to Gray. Their friendship is one that becomes family as they both learn to be strong and resilient. Excellent southern fiction. Put it on your list for the beach this summer.

Spent my Friday night reading!
Loved this book, Loved Gray, Loved Diana! Loved the story. Her books are so wonderful and the characters are people I would love to have in my life. Wasn't ready for it to end. Can't wait to read her next book!
As a Librarian and a voracious reader, I read all genres and so many authors. But this voice, this author, is amazing. Her characters are real, their situations are real, you root for them, you cry with them, you celebrate with them.
Congratulations on a wonderful book! I can't wait to share this book with our library patrons!

was delighted to get an advanced review copy of Kristy’s new book which is now available for pre-order at Amazon. I’ve been a fan of her stories ever since I read her first book Dear Carolina for review. She has a way of bringing interesting and very flawed characters together to make a story that has great contrasts of emotional and dramatic highs and lows.

Gray and Diana are wonderful, strong characters and they are as distinct on paper as they are in life. Even if the reader was not alerted to the POV change by breaks titled with the character’s name, there is never a doubt as to whose section one is reading. The narrative style flawlessly changes to match the character who is on stage at the moment, something Kristy has done well in each of her books.

One of the things that I especially appreciate about Kristy’s work – and it is very evident in Feels Like Falling – are the tidbits of wisdom that are dropped throughout. Early on in the book we get a glimpse of her mother’s wisdom as Gray recalls hearing her mother talking to a friend about living on after losing a child. Gray had a brother who died some years past, but the friend’s loss is fresh. Gray’s mother tells her friend, “… that every day when she wakes up she should get up and get out of the bed. And do something that the child didn’t get to do. Some days you won’t want to, but while you’re here you have to make the choice to live.”

Further along the story, when Diana is considering all the ramifications of love and trust and the way her life has been battered by those who could never love her enough to stay, she thinks about how much easier it is to just run away from the possibility of love before that person can run away from you. How true that is for people like her who was abandoned by her mother and bounced from foster home to foster home, then left by a series of boyfriends.

The book will release just in time for thinking about what you might want to have on hand for summer reading, and I highly recommend you put Feels Like Falling high on your list.

I was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley. This is my first by this author and I was not disappointed; I will be collecting and reading them all.
Gray is off to a very bad start to her summer when her husband leaves her and her mother passes. She accidentally gets a young woman named Diana fires from her job and then offers her a place to live. These two characters are amazing and you connect with them immediately. They are complete opposites but find a friendship that helps save them both. I absolutely loved this book. I will be recommending to all of my books clubs as well as to my family and friends. Thanks again to NetGalley!

I really love all of Kristy Woodson Havey's novels. It was going to be hard to follow the Peachtree Bluff series, but Feels Like Falling measured up. She does a great job with her characters. I love all of them. This is a great, easy read. I'm looking forward to her next story. Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read an early copy.

Another winner from Kristy Woodson Harvey! I love her and I've read almost all her books. Her characters feel like friends you'd love to meet. It's a great story of friendship and I highly recommend it.

Feels Like Falling is women’s fiction at its best. It is a story about the depth of friendship women feel for those special friends old and new. And it’s a story of new beginnings and second chances. Told in alternating points of view the author contrasts the stable upbringing Gray had with the chaos of Diana’s childhood, and how each is coping with life as it currently is. Gray is in the middle of a divorce fighting her soon to be ex for the company she founded when she was 20. Fired from her job after her gambler ex took her savings, Diana has been living in her car when Gray brings her to her home. Regardless of the past it soon becomes apparent to the reader that what each woman really seeks is validation of her most inner self. The journey to fulfillment is well worth the readers time. This is a wonderful story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about this book. It is about love, family, friends, and second chances. You may not get what you want , but you get what you need. It made me smile to read every page.
Many thanks to Gallery Pocket Books and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my first KRisty Wolfson Harvey novel and I believe I might be hooked. I fell in love with the characters and how much they cared about one another. Her writing reminds me of Dorothea Benton Frank's.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I read 2/3rds of this book and just could not get into it.

Kristy Harvey doesn’t disappoint. I really enjoy the way she brings the characters in her books to life.
Thanks for the advanced copy from netgalley and the publisher.
