Waiting on Wednesday: Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly Meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It is an opportunity for us to show books we can't wait to get our hands on.

This week, my pick is:



Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan
February 2013
Balzar+Bray


This is about the only thing I could find written about it:
Michael Hassan’s shattering debut is a tale of first love and first hate, the story of two high school seniors and the morning that changed their lives forever. It’s a portrait of the modern American teenage male, in all his brash, disillusioned, oversexed, schizophrenic, drunk, nihilistic, hopeful, ADD-diagnosed glory. And it’s a powerful mediation on how normal it is to be screwed up, and how screwed up it is to be normal. Enter to win an advanced copy of this powerful new knockout.

I heard of it on the ARCparty with Epic Read last week, I've been really excited for this book ever since.

  16. Sounds interesting. I might have to find some reviews before I try it though, it could be a great pick for me or make me tear my hair out. YA books kind of do that sometimes.

  20. I'm a bit hesitant about this good, it sounds really emotional and intense. The cover reminds me too much of other stuff, wonder if its related into the story somehow.
    Good pick, definitely a thinker! Thanks for sharing!
