When the World Tips Over by Jandy Nelson
5.0
The Fall siblings live in Northern California, deep in the heart of wine country. Dizzy, an eternally optimistic 12-year-old, is whimsical and the glue that holds the family together. Miles is the perfect child, the one that is stunningly gorgeous, a gifted athlete and true brainiac. Wynton is the oldest brother with a true talent as a violinist.
Each uniquely navigating through a world that seems to be fracturing…until a rainbow-haired girl shows up.
Who is this stranger? Is she an angel? Or just a normal teenager? Upon her entrance, the Fall world is tipped over…
This book has it all - tension, pain, love, family lore, secrets, love, generational legacies, and love. It captured my heart so unexpectedly. I rooted for all the members of this family and, when I finished, I felt like I’d read the most enchanted story of the year. I give it all the stars and feel like I need a reread of I’ll Give You the Sun asap! Jandy Nelson is phenomenal and I’m really happy I took a chance on this one. It will quite possibly land on my favorites list at the end of the year!
