"Finally, a smart literary love story!"
Emmy is a 42-year old psychotherapist. Married. A mom. WE COULD FALL is the story of one pivotal month in her life. A month in which she learns that her husband doesn’t want the divorce Emmy thought they'd agreed to and that the famous actor who is her therapy client is in love with her. Surprisingly, she may be in love with him too. Yet, this is not a romance novel in the traditional sense.
"Though the story line follows Emmy's relationship with these two men, throughout the novel, author Kate Moschandreas is as concerned with portraying Emmy’s inner life as she is with the romantic details. On one level, the story's tension comes from the choice Emmy must make regarding her marriage, but on another, more satisfying level, it is about the heroine’s choice between the life she is leading and the one she thinks she wants to have for herself."
˃˃˃"An Extraordinary Book! Intense and insightful and kind of blew my mind." -- Bestselling author, Natasha Boyd
˃˃˃ "Complex, beautiful" -- ReadersWriters Journal
"The creation of three-dimensional, complex characters who remain real in the reader’s mind long after the book is finished is one of the more mysterious aspects of writing fiction. Author Cory Doctorow has said, about creating his characters, “they become people, and writing them feels more like you’re recounting something that happened than something you’re making up.” Moschandreas is a first-time author who, in her biography, relates the story of a snippet of dialogue that popped into her head one day and eventually morphed into an entire story and then a novel, almost as though the characters already existed and just needed their story told. That is how the characters here feel -- engaging, relatable and real. We Could Fall shows Kate Moschandreas’ remarkable ability to tell the stories of her characters’ complex emotions imaginatively and beautifully." -- ReadersWriters Journal
˃˃˃ "Best of Summer" -- Indie Reader
"By creating flawed, deeply human characters, Moschandreas leads the reader to invest fully in their journey. WE COULD FALL is a beautiful portrait of a woman at a crossroads in her life, and the rewarding human connection she finds along the path." Indie Reader

This is not a suspense novel, nor is it a true love story - rather it is a prequel to a love story, The story is told from each of the various characters' points-of-view - an increasingly common storytelling technique - but this has been handled seamlessly and it effectively pushes the story forward and allows the reader to understand the texture for each of the main character's actions.The one and two star reviews are very short and indicate this is not the type of story these people like to read - OK! The criticism of a professional therapist is valid. The story itself, however, is beautifully told and we are easily invested in characters who seem trapped in their lives, struggling to find some way to break out of increasingly narrowing horizons.
The young may not understand this novel, but if your are older than 35 you can appreciate how desperate life can sometimes feel and how change is a real risk that you are not sure you can afford - there is a lot you can lose.That is the real suspense in this novel and it is handled very, very well.

One of those books I want to read again. Subtle, tender character development and exposition of indecisiveness and uncertainty without tedious histrionics. In some ways this is close to Ian McEwan's understated writing but with happier outcomes for essentially good but troubled people. Duncan doesn't really need to be a film star for the story to work, nor does Emmy need to be so beautiful, for it is a story about intelligent people learning to trust themselves and each other. Emmy's relationship with her husband is painful, his unacknowledged extended cruelty hard to understand but all too common in unhappy marriages. I'm not entirely sure than a psychologist would put up with this kind of abuse, but she might not be able to recognize in her own life behavior she would work to help others to understand. We can all be blind when we are afraid to look at ourselves objectively. Thanks, Kate Moschandreas, for a heartwarming read.
The book will have a familiar ring to anyone who has been involved in a long term relationship or stayed in a marriage for reasons other than love. It is essentially a story about a middle aged woman who is at the end of her marriage and needs a push to take the necessary step forward. Unfortunately, it's falling for a cliched movie star that gives her that push. While I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others, I wish there had been a more original plot twist to give her the push, rather than another story about a woman going from one man to another.
As the main character, Emmy's compassionate nature drew me in and intrigued me, ultimately giving this tale a complex and relational quality. You're sympathetic to Emmy's fears, loyalties and growing passion. Suddenly new events in her life as a wife, professional, mother and friend force Emmy to have to take risks and to ultimately chose. The actor/movie star Duncan Grier is Emmy's therapy client, but he is unable to uphold this formal relationship because of his growing love, attraction and appreciation for her as a woman and close friend. Will she stay in her marriage where divorce was on the cards, or will she take a leap?! I was riveted from the start, middle and end. I will keep an eye out for more of Kate Moschandreas' work.
I'm conflicted about this book. Kate Moschandreas is clearly an excellent writer and this story has a depth not necessarily typical in what's considered a romance; in fact, "literary love story" is quite an apt description!
I enjoyed Emmy, the main character; her travails, her confusions. Her challenges in a challenged marriage were real, as were the complexities of her particular story as a young wife and mother. The roller coaster nature of her relationship with Jack, her husband, was fascinating and often cringe-worthy, and other than his having a somewhat "villainous" edge that occasionally veered toward cartoonish (as did the stepdaughter from time to time), he, too, felt human and real. Duncan, the movie star at the center of the story, is complicated and vulnerable enough to not fall into "movie star" stereotype.
The problem for me, however, was the though-line of a professional therapist (Emmy) repeatedly, and with a certain impunity, crossing professional boundaries and ethical lines (with Duncan) in a way that became distracting, even disturbing. Reference is made (often) to her quarreling with herself over her flouting of ethical codes every therapist is bound by, but too often she rationalizes those breaches like a starry-eyed teenager in the thrall of love. She repeatedly succumbs to the seductions of this man, as well as her own craving for warmth and attention, and, in some respects, we get it—who wouldn't want warmth and connection after spending so many years with a husband like Jack?!—but the ethical dilemma feels like it's given short shrift, as Emmy makes and remakes resolutions, only to cross another line with each subsequent meeting.
We're clearly meant to see past all that; we're meant to cheer for her, meant to cheer for the Emmy/Duncan relationship. But having many professional therapists within my circle of friends and colleagues, and knowing well the myriad issues related to "transference" and the dangers of crossing boundaries with patients, it was difficult to reconcile the motif with its ultimate lack of consequence.
But likely some/many readers will be able to push that aside to just enjoy the elements of well-written mid-life romance; from that focal the book is a satisfying tale.
