Review By: Tatia
I never truly know what to expect from Cassia Leo. She continually finds ways to give us books that completely annihilate me in the best of ways.
The Way We Fall is, in my opinion, her best work to date, which is saying a lot. It tells the story of two people who are so tightly intertwined that no matter what obstacles, what life throws their way, how many changes are made in their individual lives, they always find their way back to each other.Rory is an aspiring writer. In the mean time, while she's slowly writing her first book, she works at a local grocery store. When a part of her history walks in the door, it's the last thing she expected.
Houston loved Rory. He really did. But secrets have a way of tearing apart everything that is and could be good. This secret that was thrusted upon him is one that could destroy everything, that already has in a sense.
I tried to predict what was going to happen, what the secret was. When I found out, it blew me away. It wasn't anything like what I expected. But that's the thing about Cassia Leo's stories, always expect the unexpected with her. She throws us curveballs that we never saw coming. She tears us apart, makes us feel everything these characters are going through and then slowly rebuilds us piece by piece. It's the sweetest torture. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
Review by: Tracy
Rory met Hallie and Houston when she was in grade school. Rory fell in love with Houston probably when she was about 11 years old. Then tragedy strikes and pushes Rory and Houston together.
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so fast and so willingly.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been together.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been together.
“We may only ever have one great, passionate love. But sometimes it’s best to leave that kind of love in the past.”
Skip ahead 5 years later when Rory is trying to move on from her past. Just when she has some sort of peace and normalcy, Houston enters the picture again.
Only this time, he brings with him the truth of the past. What if that truth made your past seem like one big lie? Would you want another chance at that love? Or would you
“They day love is just two souls recognizing each other.”
The most important lesson for Rory: You can’t erase love without erasing yourself.

Exclusive Excerpt: August 13th Houston Cavanaugh. The first boy I ever loved. And boy, did I love him a long time. I loved him until he was a man. I loved him until he loved me back. At least, I thought he loved me. His eyes narrow and he appears confused for a moment. “Jamie?” My heart drops to my feet. He doesn’t even remember me. “No,” I say with far too much emotion. “Oh, my God. I’m sorry. I... I know you.” I clutch my chest, unable to breathe. Then his eyes widen with what can only be described as pure terror. “Rory? Aurora?” I let out a sharp puff of air. “Yeah.” His lips are still moving. I want to hear what he’s saying, but my thoughts are pounding in time with my heart. Images flash in my mind: our bodies tangled in his sheets; the breakfast bar littered with sticky shot glasses and empty beer bottles; my empty dorm. “Rory?” I blink a few times to focus on his face and he looks at the floor, as if the weight of our history is pulling his head down. “I’m sorry. Maybe I should come back later.” “What? No!” He looks up, startled by my outburst. “I mean, you came to talk about the contract, so... let’s talk. I’m...” I nod toward the chair for him to sit down, then I close the office door behind him. “I’m sorry for spacing out. I was just a little surprised to see you.” I take a seat in Jamie’s chair and yelp as it begins to tip backward. “Shit!” Houston laughs as I scoot forward and lean my elbows on the desk, hoping he doesn’t notice how the sound of his laughter makes the hairs on my arms stand up. “Sorry. Obviously, I don’t sit on this side of the desk very often, but Jamie didn’t want to reschedule this appointment. She should be here shortly.” “You don’t need to apologize.” The left corner of his mouth pulls up in his signature half smile and I grit my teeth against the surge of emotions welling up inside me. “I’m actually kind of glad we ran into each other.” “Really? You hardly remembered me a minute ago.” He chuckles again. “Yeah, sorry about that. I was just surprised.” I can’t argue with this when I just used the same excuse. But it’s no more true coming from his lips than it is from mine. We’re not surprised to see each other. We’re terrified.
The Way We Fall Synopsis:
From New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo comes a twisted and passionate love story that pushes the boundaries of loyalty. Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so fast and so willingly. Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date. Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds. Maybe we should have never been together. Houston has kept a devastating secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal. Five years after the breakup, Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever. Once again, Houston is left with a choice between the truth and the only girl he’s ever loved. The Way We Fall is the first book in The Story of Us series, which follows the tumultuous love story of Rory and Houston. The sequel, The Way We Break, will be released Spring 2015.
