Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we share a book that we are eagerly anticipating!
Publisher: Dial Books
Author: April Genevieve Tucholke
Release date: March 22, 2016
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The intrigue of The Virgin Suicides and the “supernatural or not” question of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer coalesce in this young adult mystery, where nothing is quite as it seems, no one is quite who you think, and everything can change on a dime.
Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.
Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous.
What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.
For fans of Holly Black, We Were Liars, and The Raven Boys, this mysterious tale full of intrigue, dread, beauty, and a whiff of something strange will leave you utterly entranced.
Why I’m excited: Other than the fact that this says it’s for fans of Holly Black and THE RAVEN BOYS, this synopsis sounds fantastic. I don’t even really know what this book is about but I know that I NEED TO READ IT. The cover is gorgeous, there’s a strange, wild girl, a sweet boy, and a manipulative queen bee. Mixing all of those together sounds like a wonderfully odd story with beautiful or terrible consequences. I really liked Tucholke’s story in Slasher Girls and Monster Boys because the writing was so beautiful, so I’m looking forward to reading a longer story by her.
This novel sounds so great! Holly Black is one of my favourite authors for that “dark-ish” sort of genre, so I’ll definitely be picking this up whenever it comes out! 🙂
YAY! I can’t wait to check it out when it comes out.
Looks interesting! Adding it to my TBR!
YAY! I’m so excited to read this!
oh my 😮 That synopsis! THE AUTHOR! THE COMPARISONS (I MEAN THE RAVEN BOYS??) AND THERE’S A SWEET BOY IN IT?? I’m a sucker for the sweeties. I NEED TO READ THIs. Also major cover love ♥♥♥
SJ – ARE WE THE SAME PERSON? We always have the same reaction! 🙂
I can’t wait for this one either, it sounds incredible!
Eeeep! I hope we both get to read it soon!
Oh yes, I am so excited for this one too. It looks so good!!
YES! Even down to the title!
This book is so, so amazing, I can’t praise it enough. I’m already thinking about rereading it, and I didn’t read it that long ago. And that cover is beautiful. I’m constantly impressed by Tucholke’s writing. Have you read BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA yet?
You’ve read it?! AHHH! I can’t wait! No, I haven’t. But if her writing is that impressive, I’m going to have to!
