When the World Tips Over by Jandy Nelson

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An explosive new novel brimming with love, secrets, and enchantment by Jandy Nelson, the New York Times bestselling author of I’ll Give You the Sun.


"I am fervently in love with this brave, funny, tender, exuberant beating heart of a book." – Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Welcome to Paradise Springs, Northern California – a hot, dusty, half-magical, wine-country town where there are so many grapes fermenting at one time, you get drunk from breathing the air; where devil winds blow so hard they whip your sense away. A town where every fairy tale you've ever read could be set ... and "home" to the family Falls.

When a strange, enigmatic, rainbow-haired girl shows up in their fantastical hometown, it sends the lives of Fall brothers Wynton and Miles and their sister Dizzy into tumult. With road trips, rivalries, family curses, love stories within love stories within love stories, and sorrows and joys passed from generation to generation, this is the intricate, luminous tale of a family’s complicated past and present. And only in telling their stories can they hope to rewrite their futures.

When I saw Jandy Nelson was gracing us with another book after so damn long, you best believe I was first in line. And boy was it worth the wait! Jandy just perfectly knows who to breathe life into character and weave together seamless prose with distinct voices for each character that you can’t help but love them all! (Jandy) just perfectly encompasses what I think YA books are all about— comfort and heartbreak, identity and discovery, human connection and love… I can’t do this book justice. Jandy is BACK!! * Netgalley Reviewer *
This whimsical book, filled with magic, love, heartbreak and alllll the juicy family drama, did not disappoint. I was captivated and I could not stop reading! * Netgalley Reviewer *
