This much-anticipated sequel to the acclaimed fan-favorite novel Suicide Notes takes a humorous and touching look at what transpires when one stops striving to be someone that people desire and instead becomes exactly who they are.

After spending forty-five days in the psychiatric ward of a hospital following a suicide attempt, Jeff is now back home and ready to reintegrate his life, feeling more confident and at ease being his authentic self than ever before. However, it is difficult to return to an old life when one has a new perspective on it. Jeff's return to school is complicated, and his mother's anxiety is not helping. He will also have to figure out how to reconnect with his best friend, Allie, whose boyfriend he kissed before he went to the hospital. To complicate matters further, a fellow patient from the ward suddenly appears at school, bringing up a range of mixed emotions for Jeff.

Fortunately, he has made new friends at a local community center for queer youths who will support him through it all. Some of these friends may turn out to be more than just friends.

Generous, wry, and big-hearted, this novel offers a touching and riotous journey through the legacies of pain and the wonders of connection. Eliot Schrefer, a two-time National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author, praised it as "a touching, funny, and thoughtful exploration of how we move on from our toughest choices and embrace what makes us unique, even if we're imperfect." Jason June, the New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue, also praised the book, stating that it is "a touching, funny, and thoughtful exploration of how we move on from our toughest choices and embrace what makes us unique, even if we're imperfect."

In Every Star That Falls, Michael Thomas Ford delves deeply into the complexities of being queer, exploring how it shapes relationships and liberates us. He examines with heart and compassion not just what it means to be queer, but also how queerness changes relationships and frees us.

LC Rosen, the author of Jack of Hearts and Camp, also praised the book, stating that it "examines with heart and compassion not just what it is to be queer, but the ways in which queerness changes relationships and frees us."
