Waiting on Wednesday 7/4

Happy 4th of July! I am at home with a fractured foot, so please enjoy the fireworks and parties for me. Without further ado, here's my WoW:

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating

This week, I'm featuring:
Butter
Butter by Erin Jade Lange
A lonely obese boy everyone calls "Butter" is about to make history. He is going to eat himself to death—live on the Internet—and everyone is invited to watch. When he first makes the announcement online to his classmates, Butter expects pity, insults, and possibly sheer indifference. What he gets are morbid cheerleaders rallying around his deadly plan. Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a lot like popularity. And that feels good. But what happens when Butter reaches his suicide deadline? Can he live with the fallout if he doesn’t go through with his plans? With a deft hand, E.J. Lange allows readers to identify with both the bullies and the bullied in this all-consuming look at one teen’s battle with himself.
Releases Sept 18
What are you waiting on?

    I think I have this from NetGalley and it sounds really good, though sad.

    Sorry about your foot -- hope you are up and around soon!

    This book sounds really weird; I am wondering what reviews are going to say about the unusual premise.

    Wow that's pretty crazy and scary because this sounds like something that would actually happen, people cheering someone on to kill him or herself.
