I recently borrowed this awesome book from a close friend, and am now strongly tempted to buy it for myself. A fantastic modern retelling of a classic fairytale, this book was romantic, sweet, funny, and at times very intense. Teenage Rapunzel has lived contained in three rooms her entire life, seeing only her mother in person, told she has a disease called SCID's and that any interaction with the outside world or other people would kill her. She buys this story until one day, near her eighteenth birthday, she ventures into uncharted territory: Facebook. Unsure of anything as to this mysterious website, she stumbles upon the profile of "Fab" Fane Flannigan, a cool guy with a rebellious twinge, dripping with humor and swagger. Visit upon visit with Fane finally give Rapunzel the curiosity to ask herself: What if everything I've been told-about my self, about my world- a lie?
This novel is gripping, tear-jerking, romantic beyond comparison, and I think every teen- and adult-should read it. Trust me- you won't be able to put it down. Five stars!
