this is a incredibly sweet and precious take on the rapunzal story. Anya is sheltered by her adopted mom due to her daughter’s tragic story. The only place she is allowed is the library and it is here that she meets her love Zander. Zander can hardly believe his look. Anya stumbles into his via her taking photos at the library. Once he meets her he wants to know more of her.

Only Anya can only go to the library so they meet every Tuesday and Thursday there. As Zander falls in love with Anya his friends and family think she is make believe. While Anya falls in love she wonders how long Zander will stay. Anya begins to get bold and go to the cupcake place with Zander. so sweet they are courting. Zander sneaks to her house and they go into the woods and there is still the library.

Zander does some incredibly swoonworthy things. Like her birthday and when she shows up after the fight with her mom her comforts her and supports her. And Zander’s mom too precious. (
