About the Book

Neuropsychologist Kylie Ladd makes her fiction debut with the most fully realized exploration of adultery and commitment in recent years. A captivating blend of psychological insight, raw emotion, and rare wisdom courses through this enthralling tale of two marriages brought together by friendship--and the illicit affair that blows their worlds apart. I had been married three years when I fell in love, begins Kate, a firecracker of a woman who thought she'd found the yin to her yang in Cary, her sensible and adoring husband. Until the night she shares an unexpected (and unexpectedly public) kiss with their longtime friend Luke, marking the beginning of a fiery romance that will consume everyone in its path. After the Fall peers into the souls of two young, devoted couples betrayed by the one thing they thought was secure and faultless: their friendship. Told in a kaleidoscope of first-person voices, this is a voyeuristic, morally complex read about modern marriage, in which the unexpected becomes inevitable.
