Abby has a unique way of making you fall in love with her characters no matter how long the story is. Despite the fact that “The Fall Risk” is only about 80 pages, I feel like I got to know the characters and see them grow throughout the story. It made me laugh while still addressing sensitive topics. The plot was original and entertaining, and I loved the connection to her previous short story, “The Worst Wingman Ever.” It only took me an hour at most to read it, and it was well worth every second!
