How I Fall

By: Anne Eliot

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

What if you had an impossible crush?

Impossible because she's Ellen Foster. The beautiful, smart, and possibly fragile photography girl. You're Cam Campbell. The guy who plays football 24/7 with no life. But what if during junior year, you decide finally to try for her phone number--until this glitter-crazed new girl ruins your plan? Worse, the girl is Irish, awkward, and insists you and Ellen should become best friends--with her! Only you don't want to be friends with a human tornado, and you think Ellen might need to stay a crush. This is because after one interaction, you've discovered Ellen Foster really is fragile. Your problems and secrets are too big for anyone to understand.

What if you couldn't resist?

But what if the three of you wind up assigned to a group photography project, where rumors are already circling about the new girl being ridiculous? You know she's nice but very alone, so you convince your crush to help protect the new girl. Suddenly, working on the project makes hanging out, texting, talking, and even high school seem fun and completely normal when it's anything but normal.

What if you kiss?

What if you kiss Ellen Foster and it's perfect enough to make you believe in things you shouldn't? You tell her secrets and share your dreams. You make the kinds of promises and create plans to be together that might be impossible to keep when you're only 16, and your parents control your entire future, but…. What if you hurt her?

Wonderful story, beautiful to listen to

Would you listen to How I Fall again? Why?

Yes. I found listening to the story revealed things that I didn't notice when I read the words. It made the journey even richer.

What was one of the most memorable moments of How I Fall?

The first kiss scene under the leaves - absolutely adore that part.

Which character – as performed by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross – was your favorite?

I loved Cam. I felt like I was able to be inside his head more, hearing his voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

I have not listened to many audiobooks, but hearing this one makes me want to do this more. I'm hooked. A great book to hear and read - you'll love it!

Amazing!

If you could sum up How I Fall in three words, what would they be?

Adorable, Quirky (in a good way), Cute

What did you like best about this story?

The main characters (and the way that Kai and Wen did it)

Have you listened to any of Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nope but I will now!!!!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Fate is a funny thing.

was tempted to give up

narrator's are great, the story is good but the internal monologues draaaaggg..i had to bump the speed up to 1.60 just to get through them

LOVE--so happy these are in audio book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

OH YES. I own these in paperback and this author is great, but now to have them on the ACX app on my iPhone is going to be great. The narrators are amazing and how they read it--the boy reads all of the boy voices and the girl reads all of the girl voices sort of like they're acting it out, this is a great way to do audio books and I wish everyone would do it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of How I Fall?

Oh the kiss. The first kiss. Under the trees. The leaves. The way they fall in love. Of course, that's the best part of this story. I liked how they became friends first and how he'd had the crush on Ellen since middle school. I think that's really realistic because it does take a long time to talk to a crush.

What does Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really think the voices are perfect. In my mind, Ellen really sounds likable and vulnerable but also strong. I love how Kai did her voice because if the narrators are off then you can't enjoy the book especially the girl narrator is so important to get right. Also the best friend--Laura London is from Ireland and OMG I was laughing out loud on her. I can't believe the girl narrator could just switch voices like that. Amazing good. Wen Ross, the guy narrator--let's just say. Swoon. Why don't all boys sound just like him. He does Cam Campbell so sexy and then Patrick the best friend is also just a different voice and wonderful. The narrators together and the first kiss? Oh, it's so great.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Of course. I would listen to this all in one sitting if I wouldn't get in trouble for trying. That's why I'm happy it's on the iPhone so I can sneak listen to it whenever I want.

Any additional comments?

I love this author, I love this series as well as well as all of Anne Eliot's books. This audio narration team blew me away and I can't wait for more audio books.

Beautiful.

This was an amazing story! I love the research that the author very clearly put into it. I have a brother with cerebral palsy. This book helped me understand him better. The story was also amazing and adorable. I can't wait to hear the next. These narrators are amazing. I have listrned to many things by then. They definitely add an extra flair to all the books they narrate.
