The Harder I fall is such an amazing story of growing and healing yourself. Becca broke my heart many times, I wanted to hold her and tell her it would all be okay and to give in. This story really grabbed me and wouldn't let go until the very last word. Jessica Gibson wrote a book that is really a breath of fresh air. She didn't rely on sex scenes (Which isn't bad, I love a good sex scene) to make this book. She relied on the characters to tell this story with their words, and for that I love her. The characters are well written and they each will have you loving them in their own way. This story revolves around ballet and that is what pulled me to wanting to read this story. I'm a dancer, so it took me back to day's of dancing. This story is full of ups and downs, love and heart ache and of trust. I can't wait to see where she takes us with the other book(s) to come. I give this amazing read 5 stars!!!
Thanks Cassie!!
