I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to 'Can't-Wait Wednesday' hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
The book I'm 'waiting' on this week is by an author that has been nominated for several mystery awards and won a Barry Award for 'Best Paperback Novel' a few years ago. She writes teenage protagonists very well, in my opinion. I read her previous book, You Will Know Me, last year. Have you read any books by Megan Abbott? This week I'm waiting on:
by Megan Abbott
Publication Date: July 17th
Kit Owens harbored only modest ambitions for herself when the mysterious Diane Fleming appeared in her high school chemistry class. But Diane's academic brilliance lit a fire in Kit, and the two developed an unlikely friendship. Until Diane shared a secret that changed everything between them.
More than a decade later, Kit thinks she's put Diane behind her forever and she's begun to fulfill the scientific dreams Diane awakened in her. But the past comes roaring back when she discovers that Diane is her competition for a position both women covet, taking part in groundbreaking new research led by their idol. Soon enough, the two former friends find themselves locked in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that threatens to destroy them both.
These two women sound explosive -- I'm so curious about the ending now, reading this!
