Nya böcker på min TBR våren 2019

Efter succén med Evelyn Hugos sju äkta män är vi nog många som är nyfikna på Taylor Jenkins Reid senaste bok:
Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.

Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road. Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

Jag läste Geekerella för två år sedan och tyckte den var härligt nördig och mysig. Nu ger Ashley Poston ut en ny bok i samma anda!
The Prince and the Pauper gets a modern makeover in this adorable, witty, and heartwarming young adult novel set in the Geekerella universe by national bestselling author Ashley Poston.

Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: save her favorite character, Princess Amara, from being killed off from her favorite franchise, Starfield. The problem is, Jessica Stone—the actress who plays Princess Amara—wants nothing more than to leave the intense scrutiny of the fandom behind. If this year’s ExcelsiCon isn’t her last, she’ll consider her career derailed.

When a case of mistaken identity throws look-a-likes Imogen and Jess together, they quickly become enemies. But when the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, and all signs point to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. That’s easier said than done when the girls step into each other’s shoes and discover new romantic possibilities, as well as the other side of intense fandom. As these ”princesses” race to find the script-leaker, they must rescue themselves from their own expectations, and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.

Elly Griffiths är en okänd författare för mig, jag känner bara till att hon skrivit serien om Ruth Galloway som många gillat. Hennes senaste bok verkar väldigt spännande:

Clare Cassidy is no stranger to murder. A high school English teacher specializing in the Gothic writer R. M. Holland, she teaches a course on it every year. But when one of Clare’s colleagues and closest friends is found dead, with a line from R. M. Holland’s most famous story, “The Stranger,” left by her body, Clare is horrified to see her life collide with the storylines of her favourite literature.
To make matters worse, the police suspect the killer is someone Clare knows. Unsure whom to trust, she turns to her closest confidant, her diary, the only outlet she has for her darkest suspicions and fears about the case. Then one day she notices something odd. Writing that isn’t hers, left on the page of an old diary: ”Hallo, Clare. You don’t know me.”
Clare becomes more certain than ever: “The Stranger” has come to terrifying life. But can the ending be rewritten in time?
The SIlent Patient (utkommer på svenska i maj: Den tysta patienten) har dykt upp lite här och där på bookstagram, den tror jag man skall plocka upp när man är sugen på en thriller-blandvändare:
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him…

Amanda Lovelace hade stor framgång med The princess saves herself in this one, och senare med The witch doesn’t burn in this one. Jag har inte läst den sistnämnde som dessutom vann Goodreads Choice Awards 2018 för bästa poesi. Åsikterna är många gällande modern och kort poesi, själv har jag lite blandade känslor men är rätt så nyfiken på att läsa mera av Lovelace.

The mermaid is known for her siren song, luring bedroom-eyed sailors to their demise. However, beneath these misguided myths are tales of escapism and healing, which Lovelace weaves throughout this empowering collection of poetry, taking you on a journey from the sea to the stars. They tried to silence her once and for all, but the mermaid’s voice returns in this one.
Och slutligen en bok på svenska. Hannah Richell har imponerat mig med Systrarna Tides sista sommar och Skuggan av ett år som var såå himla bra. Ser framemot Påfågelsommar!

En uppslukande roman om familjehemligheter och förbjuden kärlek på den engelska landsbygden. På samma släktgods, men med många år emellan, är två kvinnor med om varsin omvälvande sommar.

Lillian Oberon känner sig instängd i ett olyckligt äktenskap men ser ingen väg ut. När den karismatiske konstnär som hennes man anlitat kommer till godset vänds allt upp och ner.

Årtionden senare kliver Lillians barnbarn Maggie över tröskeln till det nedgångna huset. Hon har återvänt från Australien, dit hon flydde efter ett stort kärlekssvek. Tiden är inne att se sanningen i vitögat och konfronteras med det förflutna. Nutid och dåtid flätas samman och bildar en gripande historia.

Böcker jag vill köpa på bokrean 2019

Bokrean 2019 har smygstartat! På svenska Adlibris kan man redan förhandsbeställa böcker inför årets bokrea. Jag väntar snällt på att finlandssvenska sidan också ska ge mig möjlighet att beställa. Lätt hänt blir det att man förköper sig, så jag har med stor möda gallrat fram fyra böcker som jag funderar på att köpa:
 

 

Har ni läst någon av dem? Vad planerar ni att köpa på bokrean? Jag hittade inte rea-barnböcker ännu, så där kanske det också blir något tillägg till önskelistan.

Engelska böcker som utkommer dec18-jan19 som jag vill läsa!

Diane Setterfield skrev ”The Thirteenth Tale” (”Den trettonde historien”) som utkom 2006 och blev en bästsäljare. Minns att jag själv gillade boken och är därför mycket nyfiken på hennes kommande bok som ges ut 4.12.2018.
 
”A dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child.

Hours later the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life.

Is it a miracle?

Is it magic?

Or can it be explained by science?”

 
En helt obekant författare för mig, men när jag läste handlingen fastnade jag direkt! Boken utkommer 1.12.2018.
 
”On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself.

Shocked to discover Nat’s taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He’s just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat’s always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?

 
Jag har tidigare läst, och älskat, ”Introvert Doodles” av Marzi Wilson och ser framemot hennes bok om ångest, som garanterat är både igenkännande, rolig och ärlig. ”Kind of coping” utkommer 1.1.2019.
 
”If you struggle with anxiety, you may feel like it’s you against the world all the time. Sometimes, your anxiety can be too much to handle all at once—wouldn’t it be nice to have someone around that understood exactly what you were going through?

Meet Marzi! She struggles with anxiety just like you. In Kind of Coping, join Marzi as she (kind of) copes with her own anxiety from day to day, finding the humor in her condition with this collection of funny, encouraging, and supportive comics that show you the best you can do sometimes is just kind of cope—and that’s totally OK!

Whether it’s a panic attack or an awkward social snafu, Marzi knows what you are going through. With over 150 full-color doodles that deliver hope and inspiration, unconditional support, and big laughs, let Marzi share her journey with you.”

 
Jag läste ”A quiet girl in a noisy world” nyligen av Debbie Tung och blev därför så glad att höra att en ny bok är på kommande. Bästa av allt är att den handlar om böcker! Utkommer 1.1.2019.
 
Book Love is a gift book of comics tailor-made for tea-sipping, spine-sniffing, book-hoarding bibliophiles. Debbie Tung’s comics are humorous and instantly recognizable—making readers laugh while precisely conveying the thoughts and habits of book nerds. Book Love is the ideal gift to let a book lover know they’re understood and appreciated.”
 
Jag tyckte Karen M. McManus bok ”One of us is lying” var helt okej, så jag är beredd att ge henne en till chans! Utkommer 8.1.2019.
 
”Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery’s never been there, but she’s heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows.

The town is picture-perfect, but it’s hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone’s declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.

Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she’s in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous–and most people aren’t good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it’s safest to keep your secrets to yourself.”

 
Hoppas ni också fick något tips av de böcker jag ser framemot!

Boknyheter jag vill läsa – hösten 2018

Min önskelista inför hösten blir längre hela tiden! Här kommer några böcker som jag ser framemot, hoppas ni också fastnar för någon av dem.
 
Just before I died av S.K. Tremayne
 
Why did you do that to me Mummy, don’t you love me?

Kath lives with her husband Adam and daughter Lyla in a desolate stone longhouse deep in Dartmoor National Park. She likes her life the moors are beautiful, if bleak and she counts herself as happy, even if they struggle with money, and work, and her daughter’s shyness.

But one day Kath wakes up from a coma, with a vague memory of a near-fatal car accident. She hugs her daughter close, likewise her husband Adam. But there’s something wrong. Adam seems furious with her and Lyla is acting evermore strangely. They should be delighted to see her alive, snatched from certain death. But they won’t meet her gaze

Then Kath learns that the car crash wasn’t an accident, and her whole life collapses into a world of panic, and danger.

 
The summer wives av Beatriz Williams
 
In the summer of 1951, Miranda Schuyler arrives on elite, secretive Winthrop Island in Long Island Sound as a naive eighteen year old, still reeling from the loss of her father in the Second World War. Although a graduate of the exclusive Foxcroft Academy in Virginia, Miranda has always lived on the margins of high society. When her beautiful mother marries Hugh Fisher, whose summer house on Winthrop overlooks the famous lighthouse, Miranda is catapulted into a heady new world of pedigrees and cocktails, status and swimming pools. Isobel Fisher, Miranda’s new stepsister—all long legs and world-weary bravado, engaged to a wealthy Island scion—is eager to draw Miranda into the arcane customs of Winthrop society.

But beneath the Island’s patrician surface, there are really two clans—the summer families with their steadfast ways and quiet obsessions, and the working class of Portuguese fishermen and domestic workers who earn their living on the water and in the laundries of the summer houses. Uneasy among Isobel’s privileged friends, Miranda finds herself drawn to Joseph Vargas, whose father keeps the lighthouse with his mysterious wife. In summer, Joseph helps his father in the lobster boats, but in the autumn he returns to Brown University, where he’s determined to make something of himself. Since childhood, Joseph has enjoyed an intense, complex friendship with Isobel Fisher, and has a catastrophe that will shatter Winthrop’s hard-won tranquility and banish Miranda from the Island for nearly two decades.

Now, in the summer of 1969, Miranda returns at last, as a renowned Shakespearean actress hiding a terrible heartbreak. On its surface, the Island remains the same—determined to keep the outside world from its shores, fiercely loyal to those who belong. But the formerly powerful Fisher family is a shadow of itself, and Joseph Vargas has recently escaped the prison where he was incarcerated for the murder of Miranda’s stepfather eighteen years earlier. What’s more, Miranda herself is no longer a naive teenager, and she begins a fierce, inexorable quest for justice to the man she once loved—even if it means uncovering every last one of the secrets that bind together the families of Winthrop Island.

 
The Story Collector: A New York Public Library Book av Kristin O’Donnell Tubb
 
The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler meets Harriet the Spy in this middle-grade historical fiction novel inspired by the real life of Viviani Joffre Fedeler, born and raised in the New York Public Library.

Eleven-year-old Viviani Fedeler has spent her whole life in the New York Public Library. She knows every room by heart, except the ones her father keeps locked. When Viviani becomes convinced that the library is haunted, new girl Merit Mubarak makes fun of her. So Viviani decides to play a harmless little prank, roping her older brothers and best friend Eva to help out.

But what begins as a joke quickly gets out of hand, and soon Viviani and her friends have to solve two big mysteries: Is the Library truly haunted? And what happened to the expensive new stamp collection? It’s up to Viviani, Eva, and Merit (reluctantly) to findout.

 
An Unwanted Guest av Shari Lapena
 
A weekend retreat at a cozy mountain lodge is supposed to be the perfect getaway . . . but when the storm hits, no one is getting away

It’s winter in the Catskills and Mitchell’s Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing–maybe even romantic–weekend away. It boasts spacious old rooms with huge woodburning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar, and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just curling up with a good murder mystery.

So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity–and all contact with the outside world–the guests settle in for the long haul.

Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead–it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.

Within the snowed-in paradise, something–or someone–is picking off the guests one by one. And there’s nothing they can do but hunker down and hope they can survive the storm.

Modernistas höstkatalog 2018: vilka böcker vill jag ha?

Ett av mina favoritförlag Modernista ger ut säsongskataloger med kommande böcker. Hösten 2018 ser mycket intressant ut. De böcker jag vill lägga vantarna på är:
 
De förlorade orden av Robert MacFarlane

Det var en gång, när ord började försvinna från barnens språk. Orden försvann så långsamt att ingen först märkte det. Blåklocka, björnbär, ekollon och huggorm.

Ord som är borta nu. En gång var de viktiga för barn, för att beskriva naturen runt dem; för att formulera ett landskap som i tusentals år utgjort grunden för de minstas lek. Men kontakten med naturen är glesväxt nu annat pockar på uppmärksamhet.

De förlorade orden återupprättar kontakten med de ord som gått i ide. En hyllning till jordens egna sensationer fylld av dikter och gåtor som leder till naturens skattkammare. En förtrollad bok, för alla åldrar.

Boken är rikt illustrerad med Jackie Morris akvareller, som röstats fram som årets vackraste av engelska bokhandlare och som även ställts ut på The Fondling Museum i London.

Den inofficiella Harry Potter-kokboken av Dina Bucholz

Några av recepten:

Sirapspaj, Harrys absoluta favoritefterrätt.

Krakes franska löksoppa.

Pumpafyllda piroger, en ständigt närvarande rätt på Hogwartsexpressen.

Med en skvätt magi och lite kreativitet trollar du fram alla de förrätter, efterrätter, tilltugg och drinkar som förvandlar en vanlig måltid för mugglare till kulinariska mästerverk, som till och med skulle göra mrs Weasley stolt.

Neverworld av Marisha Pessl

Beatrice Hartley har inga planer för sommaren förutom den hemliga återföreningen med hennes fem tidigare bästa vänner. En gång i tiden, på Darrow-Harker School, var de det tuffaste gänget i staden – de vackra, de hippa, de som andra ville vara. Men när Jim, som var gruppens kreativa geni, dog förändrades allt.

Ett år efter examen återvänder Beatrice till Wincroft, den herrgård vid kusten där vännerna tillbringat så många nätter och delat så många tankar tillsammans hemligheter, förälskelser och planer i hopp om att få svar på den fråga som värker i henne: Vad visste egentligen hennes vänner om Jims död?

Kvällen fylls av haltande skämt och obekväm tystnad, och svaret på frågan tycks avlägset. De en gång så nära vännerna är förändrade splittrade och osäkra. Det är för sent. Men när natten går mot morgon rasar åskan, och en mystisk man knackar på dörren. En man som berättar något som inte borde vara möjligt.

Poppy Pym och smugglarens hemlighet av Laura Wood

Poppy längtar efter att få tillbringa sommaren i Smugglarens vik! Så mycket, att hon kanske till och med glömmer att hela tiden tänka på hennes mystiska förflutna. Men det här är ingen vanlig sommar. Det här är sommaren när Poppy kommer att göra några fantastiska upptäckter och lösa mer än ett mysterium

Poppy Pym och smugglarens hemlighet är den tredje boken om Poppy Pym, där hemligheter, mystiska signaler och ett hemsökt slott (samt så mycket glass som du kan äta!) ligger till grund för ett sol- och sandstänkt äventyr som höjer temperaturen för Poppy Pym!

BOKNYHETER oktober 2015

Sa jag redan att oktober är en craaazy bokmånad detta år? Jag skrev redan ett inlägg om böcker jag kommer skaffa (Böcker jag längtar efter oktober 2015) men nu utkommer det ytterligare flera intressanta nyheter!
 
 
Rainbow Rowell, som blivit en av mina stora favoriter, ger ut en bok som heter ”Carry on”, som baserar sig på Simon och Baz som vi redan fick läsa om i ”Fangirl”. Även om fanfictionen i ”Fangirl” inte fångade in mig helt så tror jag ändå att denna bok kan vara riktigt bra, återstår att se!

”Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he’ll be safe. Simon can’t even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can’t stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you’re the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything. Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell’s bestselling novel Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.”
Boken utkommer 6 oktober.
 
 
Nu suckar många av er. ”En till Shopaholic-bok?”, javisst! Becky Bloomwood är tillbaka. Jag är superglad. Även om förra boken inte var så bra som jag hoppats så vill jag inte överge Becky. Nej, absolut inte. Hon får mig alltid på gott humör (ibland lite irrterad också).

”Becky’s father Graham and her best friend’s husband, Tarquin, have disappeared from Los Angeles saying simply they have “something to take care of.”

But Tarquin’s wife Suze who is Becky’s best friend, and Becky’s mother Jane, are convinced the two men are hiding something and are in danger—their imaginations run wild. They must track them down!

Hijinks ensue as husband Luke drives Becky, daughter Minnie, Jane, Suze and other favorite Kinsella characters across country from LA to Las Vegas in search of the missing men.

Becky feels deeply guilty about ignoring her father while he was in LA, in addition Becky feels her enemy Alicia is threatening her friendship with Suze.”

Shopaholic to the rescue” utkommer 27 oktober.
 
Adelina är tillbaka i Marie Lu’s nya bok, ”The rose society” som är fortsättningen på ”The young elite”. Jag läste första boken på svenska, så jag tror jag väntar på översättningen. Ska bli roligt att läsa denna serie, Marie Lu är otroligt bra författare.

”Adelina Amouteru’s heart is set on revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her. But Adelina is no heroine. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends at the Dagger Society want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?”
Boken utkommer 13 oktober, dock verkar det gå att beställa den redan?
 
 
Populära Rick Riordan fortsätter skriva fantasy på hög nivå, denna gång en ny serie om Magnus Chase, som verkar mycket intressant. 

”Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. 
One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. 
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. 
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. 
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .”

Boken utkommer 6 oktober.
 
 
Jag ÄLSKAR The Lunar Chronicles, det kommer bli så otroligt kul att få dyka ner i denna värld igen. Nya boken ”Winter” är en re-telling av Snövit, men Meyer gör det på sitt egna sätt som alltid. Det ser dessutom ut som att det är den sista boken i serien (neeeeej..), därmed är den rätt så tjock med sina 800+ sidor (kan det stämma?).
 
”Don’t miss the thrilling final chapter of Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles series. Princess Winter is admired for her grace, kindness and beauty, despite the scars on her face. She’s said to be even more breath-taking than her stepmother, Queen Levana…When Winter develops feelings for the handsome palace guard, Jacin, she fears the evil Queen will crush their romance before it has a chance to begin. But there are stirrings against the Queen across the land. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even find the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long. Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter claim their happily ever afters by defeating Levana once and for all?”
”Winter” utkommer 13 oktober.

Böcker jag är nyfiken på – maj 2015

Magonia av Maria Dahvana Headley
”Aza Ray Boyle is drowning in thin air. Since she was a baby, Aza has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak–to live. So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn’t think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.

Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who’s always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world–and found, by another. Magonia.”

Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power–but as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war between Magonia and Earth is coming. In Aza’s hands lies fate of the whole of humanity–including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?”

Geek girl av Holly Smale, 384 sidor.
”Harriet Manners is a geek. She always has been, and she thought she always would be–but when she’s discovered by a modeling agent, she leaps at the chance to reinvent herself. There’s only one problem: Harriet is the definition of awkward. Can she transform from geek to chic?”
 
Panic av Lauren Oliver, 343 sidor.
”Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a poor town of twelve thousand people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. Heather never thought she would compete in panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought. Dodge has never been afraid of panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game; he’s sure of it. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for. For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them-and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most. In this gritty, spellbinding novel, bestselling author Lauren Oliver delivers a gripping narrative of friendship, courage, survival, and hope.”
