“It’s All in How You Fall is a beautiful meditation on being brave enough to start over and taking a chance on something–or someone–new. I’m not even remotely a sports person, but I was rooting for Alex and Caro’s love story from the very first page. The way Sarah Henning writes relationships will astonish you–from friendship to romance to siblings and parents, love is laced through every word.”–Ashley Woodfolk, New York Times bestselling author of Blackout and Nothing Burns as Bright as You“A sweet and delightful romance exploring self-discovery, identity, and belonging among elite teen athletes. If you love comfort reads with happily ever afters, this book delivers!”–Suzanne Park, author of Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous and The Perfect Escape“An honest and tender portrayal of the pressures of youth athletics and identity, Henning’s characters show us how to find our balance, even once we’re off the beam for good. It’s All in How You Fall is a must read coming-of-age story wrapped in the perfect summer romance.”–Jennifer Dugan, author of Hot Dog Girl and Melt with You“Athletes and armchair fans alike will fall head over heels for this sporty romance. Henning plunges readers into the action as injured teen gymnast Caroline Kepler spends hot summer days trying out volleyball, running, golf, and tennis while working up a slow burn with her brother’s best friend. A winning combination of heart-pounding thrills and all-star swoon!”–Amanda Sellet, author of By the Book“Sarah Henning sticks the landing with It’s All in How You Fall, an unputdownable coming-of-age story about losing one dream and finding another, perfectly balanced with a swoony romance, family feels and deep friendships. An absolute must read!”–Jennifer Iacopelli, author of Break the Fall and Finding Her Edge”[Sarah Henning] writes with experience and compassion, never underplaying Caro’s grief over the future she believes she’s lost. Supportive and bighearted characters populate this optimistic novel.“–Publishers Weekly
