From Romantasy Bookstore local resident author Christy Schillig, Lessons in Falling is a slow-burn romantic comedy that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious—perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Christina Lauren.

The vibe

Devon Gallagher likes her life the way she likes her bras: comfy, supportive, and not doing the absolute most. She’s a tenured eighth-grade math teacher with a safe routine—until her sister drags her to Chicago for an impulsive getaway. Cue a karaoke disaster, an unfortunate fall, and Devon waking up post-op realizing she’s just subjected an innocent orthopedic surgeon to a drugged-up, no-filter monologue.

And as she heals, Devon starts to suspect she’s falling in a whole different way—straight for the man she’s trying hardest to avoid.
