More from Chris
If you’re over the age of 50, you’ve probably noticed the female protagonists in most novels are younger than you. Yet the lives of older women are filled with challenges, changes, growth, fun, and even romance. They want to read about characters they can relate to. That’s precisely why I wrote “Falling Apart, Falling for You.”
All women, but particularly women 50+, will identify with three women whose lives are in a free fall when they reunite for the first time since high school graduation. The story is fun, clean, and wholesome, with plenty of reality and just a little bit of wine and a few beers.
Suzanne, who is divorced and dating the seemingly perfect guy, abruptly loses her job as a traveling trainer for an airline. She’s convinced it’s due to age discrimination, and even her normally disagreeable daughter concurs.
Rachel loves her rosary, cooking, and daily routines, but when she suddenly becomes widowed she must learn to support herself by running the family gas station. Her son Pete is eager to help, and so is her widowed neighbor Frank.
Marla has been known to have a fling, but in fact, it’s her business she’s in love with. After an offer to sell makes her an instant multi-millionaire, she celebrates too hard and lands in a hospital. Now, she needs to find a new purpose in life.
This is the first book in a series of three.

My Review
Falling Apart, Falling for You is a hilariously fun read by Chris Posti. I was entertained from start to finish with Suzanne, Rachel and Marla. They are characters that so many readers, including myself, could relate to. I do warn that it may be best not to read in public because they made me laugh out loud so many times. This is one of those books that I could not put down until I was completely finished a few hours later. I loved every single page.
I am giving Falling Apart, Falling for You five stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean women’s fiction. I would love to read more by Chris Posti in the future.
I received a digital copy of Falling Apart, Falling for You from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Looks like an excellent book.
