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:
 |
Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can't turn off.
Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn't help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. Yet Sam knows she'd be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam's weekly visits to her psychiatrist.
Caroline introduces Sam to the Poet's Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself. Slowly, she begins to feel more "normal" than she ever has as part of the popular crowd . . . until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear.
Releases: June 16th 2015 by Disney-Hyperion

I have yet to read this author, although I have one of her books sitting on my TBR shelf. This one sounds good! I think I saw it on either Edelweiss or Netgalley too. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck
out my WOW
I have a bit of OCD tendencies as well, though only minor. It can be a hassle really, and I know it gets on my husband's nerves quite a lot. So this book definitely catches my eye! Good pick!
ReplyDeleteI have this on my tbr also. I saw this recently on NetGalley, but I haven't requested it because I already have SO many review books to read for June. Oh well, maybe I'll have time for it later. I hope you enjoy reading it.

I loved her previous series, so pretty excited for this one, though it is totally different from Time Between Us, be interesting to see how it's handled. :)

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Wow, sounds interesting. I suffer from OCD tendencies though, so I tend to shy away from these books in case it gives me something new to obsess about!

They're so fascinating and make me so glad I'm healthy. Have you read 'Break' by Hannah Moskowitz? It's about a boy that wants to break every bone in his body and it's SO GOOD.
