The Risks of Falling

A ski trip takes a dangerous turn when a teen ends up stranded in a snowstorm with her best friend’s ex-boyfriend in this swoon-worthy romantic drama that’s Falling Like Leaves meets Survivor.

Halle is rather proud of her nickname, Halle “Intensity” Peters. Forever focused on her studies, she is one acceptance letter away from her Ivy League dream school, and she couldn’t care less about dating or prom—top priorities for her best friend, Sofia. Halle was really hoping that after Sofia’s dramatic breakup with River “Scumbag” Walsh, she would have come around to a truth Halle learned long ago: men don’t stick around.

But when college rejections start rolling in, Halle’s dream becomes a living nightmare. Desperate to escape it all, she agrees to join Sofia on a backcountry ski trip at a nearby national park. Things are looking up—until River becomes a last-minute addition to the group. Just when things couldn’t get worse, Halle winds up separated from her friends and lost on the mountain during a snowstorm…with none other than River Walsh as a survival buddy.

Stranded with limited supplies, the two must put aside their mutual dislike for each other to survive in the frigid wilds, a feat that kindles complicated feelings and forces Halle to question everything she thought she knew about what she wants—and who she really is.
