In this gripping YA debut, high school senior Zephyr Doyle is swept off her feet—and into an intense and volatile relationship—by the new boy in school. THE GIRL WHO FELL is a powerful and important read that School Library Journal calls, “(a)n invaluable addition to any collection. (SLJ *STARRED REVIEW* January 1, 2016) His obsession. Her fall. Zephyr is focused. Focused on leading her team to the field hockey state championship and leaving her small town for her dream school, Boston College. But love has a way of changing things. Enter the new boy in school: the hockey team’s starting goaltender, Alec. He’s cute, charming, and most important, Alec doesn’t judge Zephyr. He understands her fears and insecurities—he even shares them. Soon, their relationship becomes something bigger than Zephyr, something she can’t control, something she doesn’t want to control. Zephyr swears it must be love. Because love is powerful, and overwhelming, and … terrifying? But love shouldn’t make you abandon your dreams, or push your friends away. And love shouldn’t make you feel guilty—or worse, ashamed. So when Zephyr finally begins to see Alec for who he really is, she knows it’s time to take back control of her life. If she waits any longer, it may be too late.

OMG A BOOK WHERE IT TELLS PEOPLE THE RELATIONSHIP IS TOXIC IN THE SYNOPSIS. *ahem* Sorry, it has just been sooo long since I have read a book where the relationship is just not good and the main character has to get out of it. The Girl Who Fell definitely sounds so interesting because of the fact that Zephyr has to get out of this relationship. I am really looking forward to meeting Alec for the first time and to see how their relationship starts off. I am betting it starts out nice then starts to go to shit because come on, all relationships start off pretty good before they either get better...or worse. Really excited to see how this book turns out and finally take a break from relationships that go well! (That sounds really bad to say but)
