Waiting on Wednesday is a fabulous meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine! It's a wonderful chance to share the books I'm eagerly anticipating and to find out what my fellow bloggers are looking forward to reading!
From the author of Losing Faith, a novel about two sisters and the eating disorder that threatens to destroy their family.
Loann’s always wanted to be popular and pretty like her sister, Claire. So when Claire’s ex-boyfriend starts flirting with her, Loann is willing to do whatever it takes to feel special… even if that means betraying her sister.
But as Loann slips inside Claire’s world, she discovers that everything is not as it seems. Claire’s quest for perfection is all-consuming, and comes at a dangerous price. As Claire increasingly withdraws from friends and family, Loann struggles to understand her and make amends. Can she heal their relationship —and her sister—before it’s too late?
[summary taken from Goodreads]
I've been excited for this book ever since I was first made aware of it. It sounds like such a deep, meaningful read which I'd probably enjoy since I feel there's a lack of YA books that deal with serious issues like eating disorders. I'm currently on the look out for some heavy reads so I think this one will be perfect! I can't wait to meet Loann and Claire :)
What are you eagerly anticipating on this particular Wednesday?
Happy reading,

Great pick Beverley, I'm currently reading this now, it's great so far, but I keep getting distracted by other books! Hope you get your hands on a copy soon! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, Beverley, you just remind me to read this soon! x) I have the ebook but I haven't got around to read this yet. Books about eating disorder always make me sad. Have you read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson? It's so amazing! <3
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick, lovely! x)
This sounds amazing! It sounds like such a sweet, but deep read. And how pretty is the cover? I hope you get to read it soon, Beverley.(:
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Losing Faith, but I've seen some bad reviews of this one.

I actually have a copy of this on my Kindle, and hopefully I'll get around to it sometime this... year, I guess. *g*
ReplyDeleteIt does sound really cool, and I totally love the cover.
I have to agree with Maja, the cover is very nice! I don't think I've ever read the description for this book but now that I have, I can't wait to pick this up one day. Lovely pick, Beverley! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read this book for awhile, but I also need to make sure I'm in the right frame of my mind for a read this heavy.
ReplyDeleteReading Lark's WOW
You're absolutely right, Bev -- we don't see a lot of books tackle such serious topics (unless you consider saving the world from a zombie apocalypse a serious story, but I guess that's a different kind of serious LOL) so the ones that do always stand out! :) I don't think I've heard much of this book before, but if one of my fave bloggers (who usually has the same taste as me) is looking forward to it, then I am too! ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing pick for your WOW this week, Bev! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday :) <3
Great picks. Love the blog, new follower on GFC : )

Jasprit is currently reading this but I didn't check out what it was about. It sounds like a very serious read. I think this is a great YA topic because so many young peoppenheimer struggle with body image. To be honest, all ages of female struggle with body image. One thing that disturbs me is the whole moving in on your sister's boyfriend. Don't really care for that. Sisters need to stick together. Great pick Bev! :)
ReplyDeleteHaving just finished a book by the same author, I'm really curious about this one! I had no ideait was about an eating disorder.
ReplyDeleteIt really does sound like a deep, meaningful read! I'm curious about this one too, great pick!
