The title of this book refers to both falling in love and literally plunging from a high place. The cover needed to capture those intensities of emotion. I thought the feeling of a first kiss, when it feels like nothing else exists in the world but the two of you, was a good metaphor for that intensity. This photograph, slightly obscured by the white panel and type, is an attempt to capture that. It’s exciting and overwhelming at the same time, much like this story and its characters.
