Waiting on Wednesday (173)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Me Since You by Laura Weiss


Sixteen-year-old Rowan is still reeling from her father’s suicide four months ago, after he failed to stop a man from leaping off an overpass to his death. The only witness is Eli, a teenaged boy wrapped deep in mourning for his own father, killed in action in Afghanistan. When Rowan and Eli meet, they recognize kindred spirits, and begin to navigate grief and its aftermath together.

Rowan can’t understand how her father could choose to leave her, and acts out, pushing away friends and taking risks with her safety. Rowan’s mother, wracked with her own guilt and sorrow over failing to save her husband, stops going to work and collects stray cats for comfort. Grief, fractured and unpredictable, rules their lives now. Rowan is lost—and sinking. But Eli represents a lifeline for Rowan, and as they struggle to make sense of what’s gone and what is left behind, they begin to fall in love. 


Release Date: September 3, 2013

    What a sad sounding book-not sure if it's quite the one for me since I tend to prefer comedies. I'll just have to wait for reviews.

    I've only read Such a Pretty Girl by Weiss, but it was amazing. I'm really excited about this one. It's very pretty too.

    I haven't heard of this one before. It sounds very emotional and sad. I think I will wait for other reviews, because this isn't something I normally pick up :) But I'm always willing to try something new when it's good.

    I haven't heard of this one yet... but it sounds like it has the potential to be a wonderful contemporary novel. I'll have to keep this one on my radar, it sounds like something I'd love.

    This is definitely going to be a though read. I don't see myself reading something like that anytime soon but hopefully by the time it comes out I would have changed my mind. The summary does sound interesting though. Great pick and thanks for sharing. I hope you enjoy reading it.

    The cover looks pretty interesting but MTV Books? Really? However, it is realistic fiction which I love so I'm totally going to give this a try.

    New follower! Love the greens here. =D
