This week I'm waiting on...
Love and Leftovers by Sarah Tregay
My wish
is to fall
cranium over Converse
in dizzy, daydream-worthy
love.
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?
Love and Leftovers is a beautifully written story of one girl’s
journey navigating family, friends, and love, and a compelling and sexy
read that teens will gobble up whole.

It's written in verse! That's all I need to know.
In verse? Cool. I enjoy those. Cutie pick :)
ReplyDeleteI have never read a book in verse so I am hesitant about it but I am going to give it a try. Great pick!
