August Falling

The Author's Cut

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Who do you become when the past won't let you go?

Coming out of a bad relationship, thirty-year-old August is trying to piece his life back together. It's far from perfect—he has a one-bedroom apartment, he works in a call center, and he can't finish the book he's working on—but it's something to hold onto.

When he meets Julie Hall, he finds she's everything he isn't—confident, dynamic, and purposeful, and that's despite her troubled childhood. She's a whirlwind who disrupts the apathy of August's life, and he begins to feel he can finally be himself.

But Julie has her own secret—one that threatens to unravel August's world, and plummet him right back into the miseries of his past.

Part romcom, part coming-of-age, August Falling is a story about acceptance, taking ownership of your life, and finding a way to move forward, even when moving forward seems impossible.
