Catch Us When We Fall by Juliette Fay.
Publication Day September 21st, 2021. Thank you to @juliette_fay @williammorrowbooks @getredprbooks & @letstalkbookspromo for the Widget of this book.
Don’t worry no spoilers from me.π
On her own since the age of eighteen, Cass Macklin dated brilliant, troubled Ben McGreavy, convinced he was the smartest person she’d ever known. They partied their way through their twenties, slowly descending into a bleak world of binge-drinking and broken promises, inebriated for most of a decade. Now Ben is dead, and Cass is broke, homeless, scared…and pregnant.
Determined to have a healthy pregnancy and raise Ben’s baby, Cass has to find a way to stop drinking and build a stable life for herself and her child. But with no money, skills, or sober friends or family, the task seems insurmountable. At wit’s end, Cass turns to the only person with the means to help her: Ben’s brother Scott, third basemen for the Boston Red Sox, a man with a temper and problems of his own.
The two make a deal that neither one of them is sure they can live up to. As Cass struggles to take control of her life and to ask for help when she needs it, Scott begins to realize there’s a life for him beyond the baseball diamond.
By turns heartbreaking and humorous, with its message that change is possible, that forgiveness can be freely given, and that life, though imperfect, is worth embracing, Catch Us When We Fall is a story of human connectedness and hope.
πMy thoughts, this was an emotional read for me. It is a book that hit in places where you just wanted to reach out and hug Cass at least I did. She was such a relatable character in this book. I haven’t had a character in a book that really touched my heart in a long while. If your like me, have the Kleenex handy.
π«π«π«π« Read hands down. I highly recommend this to your friends.
