Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. I also feature books that may have already released, but I am anxiously waiting to read.
This week, I'm featuring:
 |
Sixteen-year-old Rowan is still reeling from her father’s suicide four months ago, after he failed to stop a man from leaping off an overpass to his death. The only witness is Eli, a teenaged boy wrapped deep in mourning for his own father, killed in action in Afghanistan. When Rowan and Eli meet, they recognize kindred spirits, and begin to navigate grief and its aftermath together.
Rowan can’t understand how her father could choose to leave her, and acts out, pushing away friends and taking risks with her safety. Rowan’s mother, wracked with her own guilt and sorrow over failing to save her husband, stops going to work and collects stray cats for comfort. Grief, fractured and unpredictable, rules their lives now. Rowan is lost—and sinking. But Eli represents a lifeline for Rowan, and as they struggle to make sense of what’s gone and what is left behind, they begin to fall in love. Me Since You is Laura Wiess at her finest—a beautiful, gripping and painfully honest examination of adolescence.
Releases: September 3rd 2013 by MTV Books

I'm not sure this book is for me! I'm not a big fan of this genre, but I do like books out of my comfort zone a chance. Probably good to wait and read some reviews first. :)
ReplyDeleteIt might be a tough one without liking genre
Deletehmm I didn't know this book, but I'm sure I'll know more about it when you'll read it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something I'll need a box of Kleenex by my side when I read it. Thanks for sharing :)

This looks so sad-I will have to brace myself before trying it but I definitely want to check it out because I love military-related contemporary.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this one! Sad but it seems to have a deeper meaning! Great pick!

It does seem to carry powerful message
DeleteThis sounds like it needs a reading kit!
ReplyDeleteI want to read this one, but will have to wait till I can handle the emotions!
ReplyDelete- Jessica @ Book Sake
I know, timing is everything
DeleteSounds sad and intense but hopefully uplifting too since they both meet someone who can help and understand them. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteJennifer @ Some Like It Paranormal
Yes very intense
DeleteOh my this sounds like my kind of read. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose a parent to suicide. Then to be able to find someone that has gone through the exact same thing - that would be a long shot for sure. This sounds like a really compelling story. Great choice! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard
DeleteThis does sounds like a very powerful novel!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a bittersweet one, great pick Brandi and thanks for visiting My WoW
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really great, I also like the cover. I know it will probably be a tearjerker though!
ReplyDeleteOoh this sounds quite emotional! There are many times when I'm looking for a good emotional read though, so I'll keep this in mind. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to read this one actually.
ReplyDeleteOh my this sounds so sad, I'm not sure my heart could take it. I'll bet it's worth it though! Thanks for sharing!
