Now her mom wasn't the big bad with from the fairy tale, she was just unreasonable. So keeping to a couple rules seems simple, but meeting Zander and wanting to be with him, has her questioning these rules and longing for her freedom. Standing up against her mother isn't easy for Anya, who all her life has been trying to please her mom and mostly failing.

Except of course that Anya isn't allowed to date, so the relationship is very hush hush and Zander isn't really liking that. There was just this cloud of meant to be, fairy tales and constant sunshine and rainbows around them, that nothing could get them down. Everything moves really fast between them, but I loved it. Which then leads to him talking to her and she having to talk back to him. When she sees Zander at the library and because the 'light was just right', she has to take his picture. Being so sheltered makes her very naive in some ways, though I do love her neverlasting optimism. She does wish she could go out more, meet people and live an adventurous life like the ones she's read about in all her books. Alarm bells ringing all over the place for me, but for Anya this is her life and she doesn't know anything else.

Don't Fall is simply adorable, ubersweet and swoon worthy.Īnya is being homeschooled and is not allowed to go anywhere without her mom, except to the library and even then she has to check in with her mom. The cover is what drew me in at first, seeing that and then reading the blurb I expected a more darker/heavier story, which wasn't the case at all.
