I enjoyed "Falling Forward" a lot and have recommended to my close friends.
What an engaging love story shared in a unique way. Wes' friends, with their rich personalities, easily identified with my own friends. I couldn't help but walk through this emotional journey and adventure along with Wes.
This story is a heart-pounding story about the ebbs and flows of life - about change, friendship, loving, and being loved...with a message about enjoying what life brings, even if it's only for a short time; and learning to let yourself experience life's ups and downs freely amongst the safety of true friends and true love.
