Release Day Blitz: “Don’t Fall” by Rachel Schieffelbein {Giveaway + Playlist}
Don’t Fall
Release Date: 2014
Swoon Romance
Summary from Goodreads::
In which a teenage girl endures the over-protective love of her adoptive mother until she falls for a boy who has her wanting to spread her wings, pitched as a contemporary retelling of RAPUNZEL.
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 that 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.
Rachel grew up in a tiny town in Minnesota. She still lives there, with her husband and their four kids. She coaches high school speech and theater, rides Arabian horses, reads as much as she can, and writes stories.

Playlist
First of all, thank you so much for having me on your blog! Today I’m going to share some songs from my DON’T FALL playlist.
At the beginning of the book there are some lyrics from the song Don’t Catch Me by The Gravities. Here are a few of them:
Defeat
my plight with your delight.
my plight with your delight.
And
when you shine you shine the brightest,
when you shine you shine the brightest,
and
all I can give back is my best.
all I can give back is my best.
I love this song. I love the idea of how someone else’s joy can bring out your own. Anya lives a fairly grey, joyless life until she meets Zander. He helps to bring out the best in her, and her happiness reflects back on him, too.
Another song I listened to a lot when I needed some good lovey dovey inspiration was Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You by Lady Antebellum. This song is really beautiful, and romantic, and I hope some of that inspiration shines through in the book.

happy reading!
I hadn't heard of this book before, but I am a huge fan of retellings! I cannot wait to read it. Especially since after watching Tangled, Rapunzel has become one of my favourites.
