Publisher: Viking Children's
Format: Hardcover, 272 pages
Goodreads description:
That’s the day the trouble started.
The trouble that nearly ruined my life.
The trouble that turned me Dark.
The trouble that begs me for revenge.
Celia Door enters her freshman year of high school with giant boots, dark eyeliner, and a thirst for revenge against Sandy Firestone, the girl who did something unspeakable to Celia last year.
But then Celia meets Drake, the cool new kid from New York City who entrusts her with his deepest, darkest secret. When Celia’s quest for justice threatens her relationship with Drake, she’s forced to decide which is sweeter: revenge or friendship.
This debut novel from Karen Finneyfrock establishes her as a bright, bold, razor-sharp new voice for teens.
I saw this one on NetGalley a while ago and requested it, but didn't get approved. I feel like it could go either way, to be honest. It'll be either really stereotypical and bland and filled with angst and whining, or it could be absolutely amazing with a raw, honest voice. I'm hoping for the second.
What do you think of my pick? And please share the link to your own WoW so I can check it out :)
You're right, this could go both ways. This book could be amazing but it could also be awful. I'm sorry cause you haven't got the book from the NG, I hope you'll get it :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW post

I was intrigued with this book (requested it too and was declined), and I love it when authors use lead characters that aren't the norm!

I love stories of revenge! :) I saw this one on NG, too, and had the same feelings toward it, so I didn't request it. I think I'll wait and see what the consensus is before I give it any of my precious reading time. :P
ReplyDeleteI had the same reservations about this one, but I think we will just have to wait and see! It could be great :).
