Falling Under was published by Plume/Penguin in August of 2008.

"Fierce, erotic and absolutely fearless...Shocking and moving, Falling Under is as edgy as a razor blade and unlike anything you’ve ever read before." --Dame Magazine

From Canada's National Post: "Falling Under is one of the most compelling debut novels I have read in a long time. It is gutsy, emotional, sexually charged and, because of its second-person narrative style, unremittingly intense. Younge-Ullman writes her guts out, hurtling forward, pedal to the floor. The result is a gripping story, crackling with energy."

"...Here's a debut novel that delivers. Extreme, and extremely well done!" Kim Alexander for XM Radio's Fiction Nation

"...an astonishing debut novel reminiscent of Janet Fitch's White Oleander...passages so beautiful they hurt. Younge-Ullman has a talent for turning the shadows of life into a thing of beauty, almost poetry..."--Curled Up With a Good Book

"Younge-Ullman has a unique and mesmerizing writing style. It is at once raw and gritty, eloquent and beautiful. Most outstanding is her ability to take the reader inside her character's head and heart, creating a unique and unforgettable reading experience"--Shana at Literarily

"...beautiful, poetic, honest...It's hard to put into words just how much I loved this book."--Anna Horner at Diary of an Eccentric

"Mara is the kind of brooding and solitary character to whom I’m often drawn. Most of us have a bit of Mara somewhere inside of us, and if you don’t then I probably won’t like you very much."--David Nygren at The Urban Elitist

"Put in on your wish list or beg your family to buy it for you for Christmas. Yes, people, it's that good!" J. Kaye's Book Blog

"...hard hitting and explosive, with a raw energy that left me           breathless." --Good Housekeeping.com

"Masterful writing...Younge-Ullman is a first rate storyteller..." The Compulsive Reader

“Writing that screams from the page…a must read for anyone who loves a good character study, brilliant writing and book that will make them question everything they ever thought about love, life, marriage and personal contentment.”- MOMformation

"...edgy...honest...with artsy flourishes and a touch of dark wit..." --Publisher's Weekly

"...absolutely phenomenal...an emotional tour de force...a fantastic read..."--Book Chic

Falling Under builds to a fevered pitch of power and depth...We follow young Mara as she grows up and inward, and adult Mara as she grows up and outward--and the two meet at the end of the book to create an entire image, complete, replete, but never perfect, for Younge-Ullman understands there is no beauty in perfection. Falling Under tugged at my heart and settled in my bones down to the marrow.”-The Rose & Thorn Literary Ezine

"Falling Under grabs you from the first page and just doesn't let go until you reluctantly turn the last." A Bookworm's World

"...an evocative page-turner about what it means to risk heartbreak." Athena's Bookshelf

"Younge-Ullman definitely did not hold back. She came out swinging to produce a wonderful and amazing book." Cheryl's Book Nook

“…fascinating…brilliant…this book is likely to cause a lot of strong opinions. Book clubs everywhere should read Falling Under.”-Booking Mama

"Heartbreaking and wonderfully funny. I highly recommend Falling Under. There are compelling subjects for discussion for book clubs...and then that wonderful ending. Believe me, the discussions will be heated." -Book Room Reviews

"Stunning...a super-fast, dark and dynamic read." Writer Unboxed

"Falling Under is a moving, fast, gritty novel that will pull you by your boot-straps and make you feel stoned." -Girlie Girl Army

"[A] dark, complex tale of an artist's agoraphobia, lust and personal demons . . . a very real character readers will care for."
-Romantic Times

"A dramatic and intense first novel. Part coming of age, part artistic exploration, part love story, Falling Under is a layered and assured debut." Canadian Booksellers Magazine
