Winter's Reviews > Rules of Falling

Tall Manning is on FIRE with this novel!

Let us start by saying all SENIORS should read this book in High School, YES, IN SCHOOL.

Parents get over anything you may find as "CRUDE." PAY ATTENTION to the LESSON in the book.

1. The medical diagnosis of Erica: Unspecified Syncope, which can happen to anyone at any time in their lives

2. Larry the creep: NO TIME IS IT OK FOR A 30 YR OLD MAN TO BE WITH A 17 YR OLD GIRL.

As the author states, "Not only is it illegal, but it's also morally unjust" No friend should be covering it up, and GIRLS, TELL YOUR PARENT'S ASAP! IT HAPPENS MORE TIMES THAN WE THINK! IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS 16, AND HE WAS 23. BUT MY PARENTS FOUND OUT AND THREATENED HIM WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE AND JAIL. OF COURSE, THAT DOESN'T STOP A PREDATOR, BUT IT DID STOP ME. MOM IS PRETTY SCARY, THANK GOD!

So be competent; it could save your life.

Tall-Manning tells the incredible story of Erica, who suffers bouts of syncope, meaning she faints at any given time. But luckily, she has her best friend Lindsay, who catches her before she falls and suffers any damaging injury.

However, things start to change for the girls when Lindsay babysits for the Taggerts. No longer is Lindsay there to catch Erica like she used to be.

Lindsay is more interested in being with Larry Taggert, Firefighter, while Erica is on the sidelines with Lindsay's boyfriend, Adam. Adam is a sweet guy, but he is just a volunteer firefighter, and he is the one helping Erica now.

While the two girls are dealing with their drama, their town is being riddled with an arsonist on top of it all.

Tall Manning gives a thought-provoking, intelligently crafted novel.

The word building is stupendously done with a flourishing backdrop for this novel.

Tall Manning has outdone herself with Rules of Falling!

Brilliantly captivating!

This tale is vividly told and makes you pause so many times. Not only from a medical standpoint but from a predatory standpoint.

Tall Manning is a seasoned author and splendidly shines with her delivery of this novel.

Netflix needs to pick this novel up for the screen. This would be great for a Y/A adaptation for so many reasons.

The insecurity of oneself and the need to feel good about oneself lead to the older man syndrome.

I could go on and on complimenting Tall Manning and this novel. But I shall digress and leave it for others to read.

Just note this is genuinely a MUST-READ!

KUDOS TO TALL MANNING!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
