About this listen
* An Instant New York Times Bestseller *
"Jandy Nelson is a true virtuoso . . . I am fervently in love with this brave, funny, tender, exuberant beating heart of a book."—Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Imogen, Obviously
The explosive new novel that brims 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.

The sorority promises status and lifelong connections to a network of powerful, trailblazing women of color. Ella’s acceptance is a sure thing—she’s the daughter of a Serena alum.

When she drinks, she’s bold, funny, and unstoppable.

It's August 1984, and paperboy Christopher Stewart has gone missing. Hours later, 12-year-old Sammy Cox hurries home from his own paper route, red-faced and out of breath, hiding a terrible secret. Crystal, Sammy's 17-year-old sister, is worried by the disappearance but she also sees an opportunity: the Stewart case has echoes of an earlier unsolved disappearance of another boy, one town over. Crystal senses the makings of an award-winning essay, one that could win her a scholarship - and a ticket out of their small Iowa town.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Kajal knows she is not a good person. If she were, she wouldn’t selfishly be risking her sister’s soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life.

As Kajal prepares for the resurrection, the worst happens: Her sister’s soul warps into a bhuta—a murderous, wraith-like spirit—and Kajal gets sentenced to death for her sister’s rampage.

This one started out a bit chaotic, in my opinion. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but it comes together and ends up being wonderful.
It’s real, sad, hopeful, heartbreaking, and beautiful all rolled into one.

Fue un buen libro! Me encantó su forma de escribir e hilar todo de un forma tan maravillosa, no esperaba mucho, pero me dio unos personajes y una historia para siempre recordar.
Los puntos fuertes de la historia: forma de escribir, diversidad de personajes, historias pasadas y presentes, distintos puntos de vistas y, esto aplica en el audiolibro, me encantaron las voces, es un plus que cada personaje tenga su propia voz, 10/10.
Puntos negativos, en mi opinión, el inicio un poco lento y en si no sabes mucho de qué va, el libro se sintió un poco largo, con 70-90 páginas menos de hubiera contado la misma historia. Me faltó un poquito escuchar el pov de Winton, creo que hubiera enriquecido más la historia. Esas páginas que sobraban al principio se pudieron reusar en uno o dos capítulos de Winton.
A pesar de eso, lo super recomiendo y sobre todo el audiolibro con un cast increíble. ❤️ El libro físico es hermoso también con el lomo azul (versión paperback). Si te gusta el estilo de Jandy Nelson de sus otras historias, definitivamente debes darle una oportunidad a esta.
I learn in this moment that love doesn't go away when people do.
