"Waiting on" Wednesday


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



This week's selection is:


MY LIFE IN BLACK & WHITE
By: Natasha Friend
Published By: Viking Juvenile
Release Date: June 28, 2012
Preorder the Book: Amazon

Goodreads Summary: What if you lost the thing that made you who you are?

Lexi has always been stunning. Her butter-colored hair and perfect features have helped her attract friends, a boyfriend, and the attention of a modeling scout. But everything changes the night Lexi's face goes through a windshield. Now she's not sure what's worse: the scars she'll have to live with forever, or what she saw going on between her best friend and her boyfriend right before the accident. With the help of her trombone-playing, defiantly uncool older sister and a guy at school recovering from his own recent trauma, Lexi learns she's much more than just a pretty face.



Why it's wanted:

This sounds like it could be a very powerful coming-of-age story. I am curious to see how the experience changes Lexi and what lessons she learns.

    I always like books in which characters lose something. It's nice to see how they cope with it and how they develop. Thanks for sharing.
