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:
 |
Imogene's mother has been writing an incredibly embarrassing, and incredibly popular, blog about her since before she was born. Hundreds of thousands of perfect strangers knew when Imogene had her first period. Imogene's crush saw her "before and after" orthodontia photos. But Imogene is fifteen now, and her mother is still blogging about her, in gruesome detail, against her will.
When a mandatory school project compels Imogene to start her own blog, Imogene is reluctant to expose even more of her life online...until she realizes that the project is the opportunity she's been waiting for to tell the truth about her life under the virtual microscope and to define herself for the first time.
Don't Call Me Baby is a sharply observed and irrepressibly charming story about mothers and daughters, best friends and first crushes, and the surface-level identities we show the world online and the truth you can see only in real life.

it's intriguing, nice choice!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would kill me if I blogged about them, this sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteNot cool mum
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one yet. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteSo glad my mom doesn't know a thing about the internet. And I do try not to name my kids or share too much personal info about them, just our mental health issues. I would never try to chronicle their day to day lives. I don't think I'd get past the first day before they trashed my computer! I can't wait to see what you think of this one!
ReplyDeleteOnce I saw the word "blog" this book became a 1000x more appealing! Great pick!
