Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Synopsis:
What do you do in the wake of a life-altering tragedy? Survive.
After a horrible family tragedy, Gordie moves in with his half-brother Kevin’s family. It is an ideal arrangement, because Kevin is his safe haven and the only person who can deal with Gordie’s post-traumatic stress disorder.
But just as the fifteen-year-old’s life is becoming normal—star goalie of the high school hockey team, interest from an attractive girl—Gordie’s biological father comes back into the picture, demanding a place in his life. Now there’s no hiding from the grief and guilt, nothing to stop him from falling into a horrible tailspin. The only one who can help Gordie is himself . . . if he can find the strength to confront the past and take back his future.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the cover model looks like a cross between Channing Tatum and Kevin Spacey? I know, it's probably just me. But seriously, it's totally them! Anyway, you know how much I love family drama and we don't get to hear from the male's point of view a lot so I'm looking forward to picking this one up. I have a pretty good idea what the tragedy is, so I'm anxious to see if I'm right. I'm not too thrilled about having to wait almost a year though :(
This one sounds like it could be quite touching and emotional. I have my suspicions about the tragedy as well. Great pick! My WoW.

Haven't seen this one yet-sounds touching and emotional, have your tissues ready. And now that you mentioned it-I can totally see some "Channing Tatum and Kevin Spacey" lol in that picture-goods eyes. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds interesting, though kind of depressing.

An emotional story in a boy's POV. This is going to be a great read!
