Alexi Littrell hasn't told anyone what happened to her over the summer. Ashamed and embarrassed, she hides in her closet and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does.
When Bodee Lennox, the quiet and awkward boy next door, comes to live with the Littrells, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in "the Kool-Aid Kid," who has secrets of his own. As they lean on each other for support, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her find the courage to finally face the truth.
I'm really getting into a Contemporary groove lately..that and science fiction, go figure. What are you waiting on this week?
I won an ARC of Faking Normal, I'm kind of anxious about it though, I haven't read anything like it since Speak, but it has been getting good reviews. I think I'll need tissues. :( Great pick & Happy New Year. :)

Ugh, it definitely sounds like a tear jerker! Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you, congratulations on winning it that's awesome!!
DeleteThis sounds very interesting. I haven't heard of it, but I'm always interested in a "broken girl" story. They tend to be the only contemporary stories I can have patience with for some reason. Great share. Happy reading.
