When the World Tips Over By Jandy Nelson

In The Enchanted Fall, Jandy Nelson crafts a mesmerizing and emotionally charged tale about love, family, and secrets in the sun-drenched landscape of Northern California’s wine country. The Fall siblings—Dizzy, Miles, and Wynton—are a trio bound together by their shared history of loss, yet fractured by their personal struggles. Years ago, their father mysteriously vanished, leaving their family shattered.

Dizzy, the youngest at twelve, is a dreamer who bakes cakes and communes with spirits, yearning for a life straight out of a romance novel. Seventeen-year-old Miles, the handsome and brilliant middle sibling, excels in everything but is lost in his desire to find the perfect love. Wynton, the eldest at nineteen, is a violin prodigy whose passion for music is as dangerous as it is brilliant, propelling him toward either fame or self-destruction.

Everything changes when a mysterious girl with rainbow-colored hair enters their lives. Her presence is electrifying and transformative, yet her true identity is unclear—angel, saint, or simply a lost soul like the Falls? Before they can fully unravel her significance, tragedy strikes, tearing their already fragile family further apart.

Blending family curses, road trips, rivalries, and love stories within love stories, Nelson’s The Enchanted Fall is a kaleidoscopic exploration of past and present. With lyrical prose and layered storytelling, it delves into the complexities of generational trauma, healing, and the quest to rewrite one's destiny. This stunning novel is an ode to the magic and heartbreak of family, and the possibility of renewal. 📚❤️
