I recieved this book in exchange of an honest review! Thank you the the author and GRR for providing me a copy!I've been putting reading this book away for a long time. Just reading the synopsis made me feel a lot of deep emotions and I just knew it will be a heartwrenching experience. And I was not wrong.In The Harder We Fall we have a man, Tristan struggling with sleeping problems due to a past that hunts him always and we have another man, Sam with deep routed anxiety issues who tries to help people with meditation.Tristan discovers Sam through a friend's recommendation and the app helping people fall asleep changes his life. He want to know more of the man behind the voice. So after that they start a quid pro quo arrangment where Sam tries to help Tristan get through his pain while Tristan provides a solution to Sam's business problems in a way that won't overwhelm the man. And they slowly fall for each other.The characters in this book were extraordinary. The way their problems, trauma and hurt were described made me feel their every emotion so deep that I cried multiple times. Tristan is the one who has deeper and more traumatic issues to deal with and I absolutely loved that the book showed the process of healing. With help, yes, but also alone as getting rid of past hurts cannot be achieved by leaning on someone as a crutch all the time. Sam's anxiety was another challange they needed to work around. And in his case again the other man showed the way but Sam was the one who worked hard and consciously to get better and achieve his goals, conquer his fears.The story was utterly heartbreaking in its entirity! Slowly seeing into the past to discover all the traumatic thing that made them how they are today, especially Tristan was written in a soul-shattering way. I felt everything! The grief, the guilt, the despair was all their basically jumping from the pages and to my heart to destroy me just a littley just for a little while. As I mentioned before I sobbed loudly at times reading about the heartbreaking, dark despair of a man and his family. And I sobbed again during his healing process! Dealing with grief is something very close to my heart so it touched me on another level! I had to sometimes put down the book to gather myslef and be able to read more.This book was beautifully written, with flowing conversations, dramatic feelings and a captivating healing process. The author managed to get my feelings for this book pour out through my eyes and I am so so happy that I had the chance to read this book!Highly recommend!
