At first, Rapunzel Untangled was a light, fun book about a girl who has an immunodeficiency disorder. She is not allowed to leave her rooms and only her mother can visit, because Rapunzel is immune to her mother's germs. One day, Rapunzel creates a Facebook account without her mother's knowledge and looks at kids who attend the local high school. Rapunzel has never met anybody besides her mother. She picks the kid who looks the most interesting. Fane is a normal high school boy and is intrigued when he meets Rapunzel online under the alias RG.
Like I said, it started out as a cute light book. But as the story went on it got darker. Witchcraft and demons became involved and it was kinda creepy. But over all I loved the story. Rapunzel loves her mother, even after she discovers what her mother did. Even though she's horrified by what happened, she still loves this broken woman who raised her. That really touched my heart.
Fane and Rapunzel's relationship is SOOOO adorable. They are amazing together! I can't express how much I love them as a couple :)
If you love fairytale retellings, you should read Rapunzel Untangled. If you love overbearing mothers, you should read Rapunzel Untangled. Pretty much, if you can read, you should read Rapunzel Untangled.
Well said! :) I really liked this book too.
