Falling Like Leaves by Misty Wilson

Falling Like Leaves (published in September 2025 by Margaret K. McElderry Books) is a New York Times bestselling contemporary Young Adult novel by Misty Wilson. Pitch-perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls or Jenny Han, it has become a BookTok sensation for its incredibly cozy, small-town autumn aesthetic, slow-burn teenage angst, and heartfelt second-chance romance.

The story follows seventeen-year-old Ellis Mitchell, a fiercely ambitious high school senior from Manhattan. Ellis has her entire life rigidly mapped out: intern at her wealthy father’s media corporation, perfect her application for Columbia University, and launch a powerful journalism career.

Her carefully structured world entirely shatters when her parents abruptly separate. Even worse, Ellis is forced to pack her bags and move with her mother to Bramble Falls, Connecticut—a picture-perfect, deeply eccentric small town—to live with her aunt and cousin. Ellis is furious, convinced that leaving New York City during her senior fall will completely jeopardize her future.

To make matters more complicated, Bramble Falls is in the middle of preparing for its annual, month-long Falling Leaves Festival, meaning the entire town is overflowing with pumpkin carving, apple picking, and aggressive autumn enthusiasm. Amid the seasonal chaos, Ellis runs into Cooper Barnett, the local cafe barista who was her childhood summer best friend and first kiss.

Cooper has majorly "glowed up," but he is incredibly cold and dismissive toward Ellis, deeply hurt by how she ghosted him years prior. As the festival forces them into close proximity, Ellis must navigate old heartbreaks, her secret passion for fashion design over journalism, and a town that is slowly stealing her heart.
