She also gave me a great interview about it! However, it was even more amazing than I was hoping for - perhaps her warmest and sweetest book yet. Alice B Lovely by Karen McCombie - McCombie is ultra-reliable and I don't think she's ever written a bad book, so my expectations of this one were high. This tale of a girl having to deal with a new stepmother-to-be - whose son just happens to be Whitley's recent one night stand - sounds intriguing and I'm really looking forward to it. A review like that from one of the best reviewers around would have me interested whoever the author - but given Bruton's We Can Be Heroes was one of my favourites of last year, this is a definite must-read for me.Īll These Lives by Sarah Wylie - This one, about a girl who survives two accidents and grows to feel she has nine lives, then tries to release one to help her twin sister who's dying of cancer, sounds strange but compelling.Ī Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger - I love Keplinger's blog posts but have somehow never got round to reading either The DUFF or Shut Out despite the great reviews I've seen of both. Pop! by Catherine Bruton - Kitchen sink drama meets community-paralysing politics underneath a fabulous reality TV narrative, according to Jill Murphy at the Bookbag. What's everyone else looking forward to in June? Here's a mix of ones I've been lucky enough to review for The Bookbag and others I'm desperate to get my hands on!
