While I'm Falling Audiobook

" I felt a LOT like main character Victoria when I was in college. I felt like things were out of control that were totally in my control, I just didn't know it. I'm envious that she finally figured out how to take control before it was too late. Meaning she didn't go on and graduate with the useless degree and instead went against all advice and did what felt right. "

" Listened to it. Slowish start, but then i got very involved and looked forward to the story unfolding. Liked most of the characters and the dialogue was real. 20 year old at college, mom and dad divorce. Mom homeless with old smelly dog. "

" No one covers mother-daughter relationships quite as eloquently as Laura Moriarty. I believe she's one of the best writers out there today. "

" I continue to appreciate the author's ability to portray how families can quietly unravel. There are no shocking plot twists or mysterious occurrences in her stories, but she is skilled at taking apart each relationship and putting it back together with the cracks exposed. "

" It's fun to read a book that has your town in it. Another good read from Laura Moriarty. "

" I enjoyed this book. I felt a true connection as a daughter and as a mother. Strength isn't always as we think it will be. "

" such a good book, couldn't put it down :) "

" It's been quite some time since I could find a character that I could relate to. "

" I liked this and it was a quick read. I really liked her first book, the Center of Everything...didn't enjoy this one as much but overall I'd recommend it. "

" Started good but I hought it kind of petered out the end. "

" Elementary read and simple plot, but it kept me reading nonetheless. Hit home for me in a few aspects; I found a way to connect with each of the characters. It was nice to see that no matter how screwed up things may look there is a way out. "

" Excellent book! I was sad to finish the book because I really liked the characters. I also enjoyed the book as it was set in Lawrence, KS (KU) where my husband went to school. Can't wait to read her other books. "

" The author writes in a easy, facile manner with a good ear for dialogue. She is also adept at spinning interesting and realistic predicaments for her characters to get into and out of. However, the plot's narrative arc is weak and leaves many loose ends untied. "

" This is the 3rd book of Laura Moriarty's that I have read and I am enjoying this one as much as I have the other 2! I only have 50 pages to go and can't wait to get to bed and finish it! "

" I wanted to like this book & was excited when a friend shared her ARC. It took me a long time to get into the story & it did redeem itself as it went on but only the mother interested me (devoted to the dog--gets me every time) Doesn't compare to "The Rest of Her Life", which was very good. "

" Draws you in and keeps you there. "

" I usually stay away from the books with mother/daughter or divorce issues, but I liked this. "

" Loved this book almost as much as The Center of Everything. Great characters and believable dialogue. "

" I am a sucker for sappy reads. I loved Center of Everything and Loved this book as well. one that can be read more than once "

" No one covers mother-daughter relationships quite as eloquently as Laura Moriarty. I believe she's one of the best writers out there today. "

" Could it have been any more of a pity party for every character?? "

" I developed a real loathing for most of the characters soon after starting this book. By the end, however, I was liking many of them better and hoping they'd have decent resolutions. Was this intentional on the author's part or just a lucky accident? "

" I really liked this book. It's a story about life and the sh*t that happens. "

" I really liked Laura Moriarty's book, "The Rest of Her Life," so I was excited to read this. I was disappointed. I really didn't like the main character, and the storyline caused me a great deal of anxiety. "

" I didn't even care what happened.... "

" This is the fourth book in the "Lighten Up" Book Club at Ida. I really liked Moriarty's writing style. Very easy to follow and engaging. A rather sad book, but a pretty good read. "

" It's fun to read a book that has your town in it. Another good read from Laura Moriarty. "

" It was a familiar story line. Struggling college student; a feeling you don't forget! "

" I really enjoyed the 'Center of Everything' and this book was a great read as well. The author really captures the angst that children experience when their parents make odd or poor choices. "
