For fans of Robinne Lee’s The Idea of You, a debut contemporary romance about a celebrity and a single mother who push and pull against each other as they teeter between a carrying on a secret affair and living an authentic life. If Jake Laurent is the “human equivalent of Friday,” Kat Green is “Monday.” Nevertheless, the two shared a secret (if casual) affair during the pandemic, and now, almost exactly one year later, they’ve reunited in Copenhagen, the “city of fairy tales.” Only neither one of them is living a fairy tale. Jake is a young actor who’s cracking under the public pressure that comes with rising celebrity. Kat is a single mother at the top of her career who believes she’s holding it all together but is barely living. Each one is a simple escape for the other—until the security Kat has worked so hard to build for her tiny family comes under threat, and Jake has to decide if he can keep Kat a secret even if it’s at the expense of his own fame. And They Had a Great Fall is the story of two people who are going through the motions in life—until they finally look inside themselves to figure out what it takes to find a happily ever after.

This was a book that will get inside you. The author has clearly taken the time to carefully develop all her characters and infuse them with motivation that makes you feel their longing, fear, excitement, and apprehension that makes these character human. For me, that's one of the key reasons I read fiction, to get me out of my head and into someone elses, to experience someone's life that I wouldn't otherwise have access to, and make me wonder as I read how all will work out knowing that it just might not. If you enjoy women's fiction and what I call Life Stories where, you don't know how the story will shake out until just before its over you have a great choice here!
