This week I'm "Waiting on":
By James Preller
Release Date: July 17, 2012
Description:
The summer before his senior year, Jude (yes, he’s named after the Beatles song) gets his first job, falls in love for the first time, and starts to break away from his parents. Jude’s house is kept dark; no one talks much—it’s been that way since his little sister drowned in a swimming pool when Jude was supposed to be watching her.
He was watching her. He looked away for just a moment. He was only nine years old. And he’s never truly grieved for her, or for the emotional deaths of his parents, who refuse to talk about what happened. Seven years later, Jude is finally, finally starting to live. Really live. And then life spins out of control. Again.
Acclaimed author James Preller explores life, death, love, faith, and resilience in a story that will grip readers from the book’s dramatic first few pages to its emotional end.
--------------
This is something different and I just happen to come across it. Looks interesting I want to know how his life spins out of control - again.
What are you waiting for?

For some reason this book reminds me of a Ghost Whisperer episode. Sounds like an emotional rollercoaster!
Have an amazing reading week!
