And here's what you need to know about the book:

Seventeen-year-old Anya leads a very secluded life in a house on the edge of town with her adopted mother. She doesn't go to school, but instead has a private tutor. Her over-protective mom keeps her so sheltered she doesn't even have a best friend.

 

But Anya doesn't seem to mind. She has her books, her photography, and her daydreams, and would do anything to please her mom. Until one day at the library, the only place she's allowed to go, she takes a picture of a beautiful boy.

 

Before long she's lying to her mom, and sneaking out late at night to meet Zander. But Zander wants more than a secret romance. If Anya wants to be with the boy of her dreams, she will have to risk her relationship with the only other person she's ever cared about.


 

Character descriptions:

Anya: She has long blonde hair which she normally wears in braids, either hanging down her back or wrapped around her head. She has blue eyes and fair skin. She's sweet, perhaps a bit naïve, and a romantic. She loves vintage clothes, especially dresses, and the color yellow, which she always incorporates into her outfit one way or another.

 

 

Zander:  He's nineteen, tall, and well-dressed. He's got messy dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin.
He's a bit serious, but has a sweet smile.

Their hang-outs include: The library, a cupcake shop,
and their own secret spot out in the woods.

What I'd like in a cover:

DON'T FALL is a contemporary retelling of Rapunzel.
While it is set in modern times, I hoped to still capture a fairy tale feeling with it.
I'd love that in the cover as well. Something beautiful and romantic.
