Advance praise for Falling Under...
“As heartfelt as it is tragic, Falling Under tells the touching story of an artist’s childhood crippled by divorce and emotional neglect. A fearless, penetrating debut.” Tish Cohen, author of Town House.
"Danielle Younge-Ullman's novel reminds one of Mary Gaitskill's best –sleek, erotic, wry and poignant." Karen Karbo, author of How to Hepburn: Lessons on Living from Kate the Great.
"Danielle Younge-Ullman's Falling Under is heartwrenching and provocative all at once.

Homes will enjoy this raw, edgy debut." Martha O'Connor, author of The Bitch Posse.
“Danielle Younge-Ullman redefines modern fiction with this finely wrought, edgy debut. With her crisp dialogue, precisely drawn characters, and heartrending prose, Stephen Elliot and Heather O’Neill fans will have a new literary crush to thrill them. Younge-Ullman is the best kind of new author– enormously talented and utterly unafraid.” Kristy Kiernan, author of Catching Genius.
"What happens when our heroine wants mindless sex and the new guy wants – gulp – to get to know her? Mara’s journey is a wild ride, back toward the harrowing story of her first love and forward toward the possibility of new love. Danielle Younge-Ullman writes about human connections with thrilling energy, honesty, and fury. And her sex scenes are as raw and gutsy as any I’ve ever read." Ellen Sussman, Bad Girls: 26 Writers Misbehave (WW Norton) and On A Night Like This (Warner Books)

"Falling Under is brave, bold, and absolutely brilliant. I loved it."
--Lisa Daily, bestselling author of Stop Getting Dumped! and Fifteen Minutes of Shame
