Waiting On Wednesday [@RandomHouseKids @daisyhellcakes]

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine

My pick for this week:


EVEN WHEN YOU LIE TO ME by Jessica Alcott

Fans of John Green's Looking for Alaska as well as Lauren Oliver and Sarah Dessen will embrace this provocative debut novel, an exploration of taboo love set against the backdrop of a suburban high school.

Charlie, a senior, isn't looking forward to her last year of high school. Another year of living in the shadow of her best friend, Lila. Another year of hiding behind the covers of her favorite novels. Another year of navigating her tense relationship with her perfectionist mom.

But everything changes when she meets her new English teacher. Mr. Drummond is smart. Irreverent. Funny. Hot. Everyone loves him. And Charlie thinks he's the only one who gets her.

She also thinks she might not be the only one with a crush.

In this stunning debut, Jessica Alcott explores relationships-and their boundaries-in a way that is both searingly honest and sympathetic.

Why?

It sounds like it could be such a great read. Stupid-teacher relationships (inappropriate ones) can make for some really interesting, complicated, thoughtful stories.

The summary sounds really good and Even When You Lie to Me is one I hope to read soon!
