Catch Us When We Fall

A Novel

By: Juliette Fay

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

If you love the emotionally complex novels of JoJo Moyes and the dramatic books of Jodi Picoult, you won’t want to miss this newest book about second chances, redemption, and the power of hope from USA Today bestselling author of Shelter Me, Juliette Fay.

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.

Romance (and recovery) without the Dumb Tropes

Fay is completely underrated. I don't like romance. I don't like books about recovery. This was a book about both and it was really good. No stupid tropes, no insta love, etc. She has not written a book I haven't liked. Not many authors I can say that about.

This book….

This was such a great listen! I laughed and I cried! It’s one of those books that disappoints you because you know your next listen won’t be as good! I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!

so good I didn't want it to end

I loved this book I didn't want it to end I could have had multiple sequels in it and not gotten bored this is a great author

V ery good listen

Highly reccomend, very rellovent in our world today. Very real and good for the soul. love the narrator.

Wonderful!

This book got its hooks in me pretty quickly. I loved Cass and even though I didn’t have her story I could relate to her. I felt like the story was very believable. I will be reading more from this author!
