****"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill at the Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.****
My Pick this week is:
SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY by Julie Murphy
Expected Release Date: Winter 2014 by Balzer+ Bray/ HarperCollins
What if you’d been living your life as if you were dying—only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs—however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, whom she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that’s as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her arch nemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). But just when Alice’s scores are settled, she goes into remission.
Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she’s said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But has she done irreparable damage to the people around her, and to the one person who matters most?
I'm dead, I'm Dead, I'm Alive but I'm Dead. Julie is a wonderful lady and this book I know will be awesome. I'm kinda dying to read it and it's so far away, goddangit. JUST GIMME THE BOOK, JULIE AND NO ONE GETS HURT.
(Can anyone get THE INCREDIBLES reference I put up there?)
Peace, Love and Fangirl,
Alex
