"Kirby Tan prides herself as the “Queen of Balance.” A high school rock-climbing prodigy, she’s never let much hold her back. Still, she’s always been hesitant to reach too far beyond the path mapped for her by her traditional, religious upbringing. That is, until an injury has her falling – into new friendships, away from expectations, and (maybe most importantly) in love with the crystal-wielding, astrological girl of her dreams. Kirby’s Lessons for Falling (in Love) is an honest snapshot of how insecurity and fear can ground even the most confident person and how almost nothing is insurmountable on the climb back up to the top."
