Waiting on Wednesday (9)

This week, my pick is...

On the Fringe by Courtney King Walker. Here's what Goodreads has to say... Claire is struggling to overcome the murder of her childhood friend and secret crush, Daniel. Everyone else seems to be moving on with their lives, but she's still trying to cope. The fact that she finds herself alone and drowning on her 16th birthday isn't helping.

Neither is thinking she sees Daniel's face in murky water as she mysteriously resurfaces. But something happened during those four and a half minutes that will make her realize it was not just her imagination.

As Claire and Daniel try to grasp a possible reconnection, other grudge-holding beings have plans of their own. Now, the two of them have to decide if their fleeting relationship is worth the possibility of Claire being trapped on the fringe forever.

Beautifully told, On the Fringe intertwines fresh ideas about devotion, revenge, and the consequences that come with life and death. 



Doesn't it sound amazing? I'm so excited to read this! Plus, isn't the cover neat? I didn't think much of it at first glance, but increasingly, I'm growing to like it. Bonus points for actually relating to the story. 

So what do you think? Have you heard anything about this book? Do you plan to read it?

I'm a little nervous because the drowning bit reminds me of Abandon, which I really didn't like. The cover is lovely, though. I'm going to keep an eye out on this one.
