Waiting on Wednesday - (un)Conventional Bookviews

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place to showcase a book we’re really looking forward to with bated breath! A new release in our favorite series, an exciting new title from a favorite author…

 Waiting on Wednesday #72

Yet another YA story is what I’m waiting on this week. The Year We Fell Apart by Emily Martin is scheduled for release on January 26th, 2016, and I love that the heroine is prone to epic mistakes. I don’t know why, but I love quirky characters, and The Year We Fell Apart seems to have that, as well as strong friendships which I also enjoy reading about.

The Year We Fell Apart cover - (un)Conventional Bookviews

 

Few things come as naturally to Harper as epic mistakes. In the past year she was kicked off the swim team, earned a reputation as Carson High’s easiest hook-up, and officially became the black sheep of her family. But her worst mistake was destroying her relationship with her best friend, Declan.
Now, after two semesters of silence, Declan is home from boarding school for the summer. Everything about him is different—he’s taller, stronger…more handsome. Harper has changed, too, especially in the wake of her mom’s cancer diagnosis.
While Declan wants nothing to do with Harper, he’s still Declan, her Declan, and the only person she wants to talk to about what’s really going on. But he’s also the one person she’s lost the right to seek comfort from.
As their mutual friends and shared histories draw them together again, Harper and Declan must decide which parts of their past are still salvageable, and which parts they’ll have to let go of once and for all.
In this honest and affecting tale of friendship and first love, Emily Martin brings to vivid life the trials and struggles of high school and the ability to learn from past mistakes over the course of one steamy North Carolina summer.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic Wednesday! Don’t forget to leave me a link in your comment so I can come and check out your Waiting on Wednesday post, too.

  1. I also love quirky characters, so I will absolutely look out for this book in january! Håper du har fine novemberdager 🙂 Jeg har tenkt å bruke denne dagen til å bare lese og kose meg, for jeg har nemlig bursdag 🙂 Akkurat nå leser jeg “Lost lake” av Sarah Addison Allen. Har du lest noe av henne? Hun er bare helt fantastisk. Klem fra Anette 🙂

    • Her er det utrolig vakkert for tiden! Sol, varmt og blaa himmel 🙂 We are expecting snow and cold this weekend, though.
      Gratulerer med dagen, Anette! Kos deg med “Lost Lake”! Jeg har ikke lest noe av Sarah Addison Allen… en forfatter til jeg burde lese 🙂

  2. Ooh, Lexxie! This sounds fantastic! I love quirky characters too and stories of strong friendships. The Year We Fell Apart seems like it’s going to tug at my heartstrings as well, and for some reason I also like that in a book. 😉 I’m going to add this to my tbr as well.
    Happy Wednesday, my dear! Today is Berk’s 15th birthday. I can’t believe she’s 15!! Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying your day. Miss you!! **BIG HUGS**

    • Oh, maybe this is one we can buddy-read next year, Brandee? That would be awesome 🙂 It’s been a while already.
      Happy b-day to Berk! Enjoy Starbucks 😉 I hope the power will come back when you need to go home, Brandee. Miss you, too! *BIG HUGS*
