When the World Tips Over
by Jandy Nelson
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Magical realism mixed with family drama mixed with romance mixed with a lot of heart. WHEN THE WORLD TIPS OVER is messy and fun and yes, a little all over the place, but it's heartwarming and beautiful and doesn't shy from the best and worst parts about humanity. Our capacity for love, our capacity for hate, how betrayal and loyalty can tip too far over the edge, how it feels to hate everything and love everything all at once.
WHEN THE WORLD TIPS OVER follows the Fall siblings who live in Paradise on a winery passed down from their great-grandfather, and, eventually, vagabond Cassidy who grew up in a RV with her flower-child mother. Each character is so unique and wonderful-- from Dizzy, the youngest, with her ability to see ghosts and endless fountain of hope, to the middle brother, Perfect Miles, who isn't so perfect after all, and their hot-mess-express oldest brother Wynton who cries when he plays the violin but can't seem to stop himself on the path to self destruction.
This book was magical in every sense of the word; I loved everything about it.
