Review:
The Way We Fall will captivate readers with it's strong determined characters who face a devestating outbreak on a closed off island. 


What happens when the community you grew up in is falling apart and your neighbors turn against you in fear and spread a sickness that has no cure? 

TWWF is an amazing story of the human spirit in the face of trial and loss. We are introduced to a cast of characters that are loosing everyone they love, while at the same time the island is begging for help from a mainland that has abandoned them in the face of a world wide outbreak. 

While some take advantage of the sick and passes some people are struggling to help those to survive. The Way We Fall will grip readers and take you through a climactic set of events that rip through a small island town and change these lives forever. The ending leaves you gasping for more.
