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:
Severed Heads, Broken Hearts by Robyn Schneider
Release Date: June 4th, 2013
Publisher: Katherine Tegen
Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: in one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra’s knee, his athletic career, and his social life.
No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra’s ever met, achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent, and determined to bring Ezra along on her endless adventures.
But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: if one’s singular tragedy has already hit and everything after it has mattered quite a bit, what happens when more misfortune strikes?
Robyn Schneider’s Severed Heads, Broken Hearts is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
I first heard of this book on the ARC party Epic Reads did a few weeks ago. Since then, I can't stop thinking about this book, and I can't wait to finally read it. It sounds different, and so good. It is definitely a book I won't miss.
This one sounds really cute and touching!

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds interesting. I especially love the 'witty and heart-wrenching novel' part on the blurb. And the title is catchy. Very creative. Looks like another book is added on my TBR list. :)

Yeah, this does sound good! I think the cover needs to be reworked though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a title! And I'd be interested to see how these events destroyed Ezra's high school social life. Cassidy sounds like a force to be reckoned with!
