WoW: When the World Tips Over by Jandy Nelson

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

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

The Fall siblings live in hot Northern California wine country, where the sun pours out of the sky, and the devil winds blow so hard they whip the sense right out of your head.

Years ago, the Fall kids’ father mysteriously disappeared, cracking the family into pieces. Now Dizzy Fall, age twelve, bakes cakes, sees spirits, and wishes she were a heroine of a romance novel. Miles Fall, seventeen, brainiac, athlete, and dog-whisperer, is a raving beauty, but also lost, and desperate to meet the kind of guy he dreams of. And Wynton Fall, nineteen, who raises the temperature of a room just by entering it, is a virtuoso violinist set on a crash course for fame . . . or self-destruction.

Then an enigmatic rainbow-haired girl shows up, tipping the Falls’ world over. She might be an angel. Or a saint. Or an ordinary girl. Somehow, she is vital to each of them. But before anyone can figure out who she is, catastrophe strikes, leaving the Falls more broken than ever. And more desperate to be whole.

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.

Why I’m Waiting: Do I really have to say anything? As a member of the YA community for almost 15 years, I was around for I’ll Give You the Sun. In fact I think I have an ARC of it somewhere from a trade. But with that being said, *ahem* GIVE IT TO ME NOW! lol I remember being in tears from that one, so with this one there’s a rainbow haired girl and someone who sees spirits and a brainiac and so much more. These characters seem like they’ll be fun and I can’t wait! I’m nervous about the tears that might be involved yes, but I am also super excited to see where this one might go.

What about you? Will you read this? Did you read the other books by Nelson? Let me know in the comments!
