On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.
Publication Date: December 27, 2011
From Goodreads:
My wish
is to fall
cranium over Converse
in dizzy, daydream-worthy
love.
(If only it were that easy.)
When her parents split, Marcie is dragged from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. She leaves behind her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father. By the time Labor Day rolls around, Marcie suspects this "vacation" has become permanent. She starts at a new school where a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up.
But understanding love, especially when you've watched your parents' affections end, is elusive. What does it feel like, really? Can you even know it until you've lost it?
This is another one of those books that I really wanted to read when it first came out, couldn't get a copy right away, then completely forgot about. I read mixed reviews for it, but hopefully I will be one of the ones who love it once I finally get my hands on it.
What is your heart's desire this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
