Description
Jodie and Amelia were almost sisters once, before college degrees, careers, and grown-up love entered their lives. Before Jodie's brother broke up with Amelia.
After so many disappointments, Amelia is finally happy. Or something like it.
She's given her love and trust to her best friend, Drew, who is sweet,
sensitive, loyal, and everything she's always wanted. She's calculated the
perfect path to inner peace and healing by surrounding herself with people who
would never break her heart.
Jodie hates that all her friends are pairing up to begin their futures. She
hates dating, hates romance in general. She hates that she can't forget one
night, a year ago, which Drew doesn't seem to remember the same way. Everyone
is moving on without her, but that's fine, because she never needed anyone in
her life anyway.
Never has a way of proving itself wrong.
With vivid characters, generous doses of humor, and palpable emotion, Exactly Where They'd Fall is a story about three friends forced to explore the complicated and fragile bonds of friendship and love. Fans of heartfelt, witty literary fiction, and smart women's fiction will enjoy this charming and honest debut.
Advance Praise
"The
reason Exactly Where They'd Fall is such a success is due to
Amos's skill in creating characters that are not just memorable and sometimes
funny, but fully realised, described, and unapologetically true to
life... Exactly Where They'd Fall is an often-comedic book,
somewhat in the style of Marian Keyes but baring a very individual atmosphere
that illustrates just how much passion and work Amos put into it."
-- Charlie Place, book review at The Wormhole
"There's some truly beautiful, captivating episodes and character descriptions to be found within the chapters and I particularly enjoyed the camping scene which really came alive on the page. Author really gets inside her character's heads to portray emotions that we all feel sometimes but would not want to admit. Parts made me cry but mostly I just enjoyed the story."
-- Caz, reader review at Amazon.com
"A really impressive and beautiful read. Well-developed interesting characters, good story, satisfying (if oddly heartbreaking ending)."
-- Laila, reader review at Goodreads.com
"The great strength of this book -- and it is a very great strength indeed -- is the incredible, subtle, deliberate craft Amos employs in depicting these characters and a cast of supporting characters who feel so real, so human and complete, that I actually found myself thinking about their predicament constantly whenever I had to put this book down."
-- L.M. Ironside, reader review at Amazon.com
