A light, sweet, and utterly lovely retelling, Don't Fall was a fantastic YA romance. I really liked this delight of a read. From start to finish, it was just wonderful.Anya was a lovely heroine. At first, she seemed weak-willed, unable to defy her mother in anything. But, over the course of the book, she grew stronger and became determined to finally start her life. She was a great character and I really liked her.Zander was also wonderful. He was very sweet and I loved how he was so devoted to Anya, willing to wait for her if need be. He was perfect and I adored him.The romance was super sweet. Anya and Zander were so perfect together and I loved how they were willing to both fight and wait for each other. They were lovely together.One quirk of the book, which is probably just me is that, though the author did a good job creating new imaginings of the old characters, I couldn't help but imagine Mother Gothel from Tangled as Anya's mother. Maybe it's just because I've watched that movie way too many times for an adult, but no matter how hard I tried to envision this new version of the fairy tale villain, I still imagined Gothel :)The plot was fast paced and I was hooked the entire way through. I absolutely loved the story and the ending was perfect.Don't Fall was a wonderful YA retelling of Rapunzel. It was light, sweet, and enjoyable from start to finish. YA lovers, this is a book you won't want to miss.*I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review
