Why we’re excited
Margot Adler arrives in New Orleans for her final year of school after her father's death and swears she is fine. Then Seb Baxter, a famous Hollywood heir turned actor, wanders into her part-time job at a frozen-yogurt shop, and she ends up showing him the city.
Walther wrote The Summer of Broken Rules, and here she borrows the premise of Notting Hill for a teen audience. It is a standalone, a good fit for readers who like celebrity romance with grief underneath.

What to know about Three Chances to Fall
A First Time for Everything is the one K.L. Walther book we have reviewed, at 4 out of 5.
From the publisher
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of We're a Bad Idea, Right? comes a shimmering celebrity romance set in New Orleans and dripping in Spanish moss-inspired by the classic film Notting Hill!
When seventeen-year-old Margot Adler moves to New Orleans her senior year of high school, she definitely isn't running away. Has she deleted all social media and ignored her best friend's constant texts since moving? Yes. Does anywhere sound better than her home that still looms a little too empty since her dad died? Yes again. But she's fine.
Of course, that's when Seb Baxter, Hollywood's favorite nepo baby turned rising star actor, stumbles into the yogurt shop where she works part time. Soon Margot's showing Seb around her new city all while dodging the paparazzi, the press, and the growing feelings between them. Because Seb won't be in New Orleans forever.
Even in the Big Easy, some baggage is hard to escape, especially when it's blowing up your phone or sneaking photos of you with telescopic camera lenses. But maybe love is worth it . . . if you're willing to let yourself fall.
