I
decided to start a new weekly thing. Every Friday I will post about a new
recent release I’m excited to read. Today I have a gorgeous book to present to
you:
THE JEWEL by Amy Ewing

2014

What is the book about?:
Step on a crack, break your mother's back,
Touch another person's skin, and Dad's gone for good .
. .
Caddie
has a history of magical thinking—of playing games in her head to cope with her
surroundings—but it's never been this bad before.
When
her parents split up, “Don't touch”
becomes Caddie's mantra. Maybe if she keeps from touching another person's
skin, Dad will come home. She knows it doesn't make sense, but her games have
never been logical. Soon, despite Alabama's humidity, she's covering every inch
of her skin and wearing evening gloves to school.
And
that's where things get tricky. Even though Caddie's the new girl, it's hard to
pass off her compulsions as artistic quirks. Friends notice things. Her drama class
is all about interacting with her scene partners, especially Peter, who's
auditioning for the role of Hamlet. Caddie desperately wants to play Ophelia,
but if she does, she'll have to touch Peter . . . and kiss him. Part of Caddie
would love nothing more than to kiss Peter—but the other part isn't sure she's
brave enough to let herself fall.
From
rising star Rachel M. Wilson comes a powerful, moving debut novel of the
friendship and love that are there for us, if only we'll let them in.

I
found both of the books thanks to the ARC-party of EpicReads.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then I really recommend looking at
their YouTube-channel.
They
talk about everything in the YA-world. Every Wednesday they do a live hangout,
called #TeaTime and talk about books, what they’re reading exc.
A few
times a year they do an #ArcParty where they present all books that are coming
out in the next few months. That is how I find most of my tbr books.
So,
if you’re into YA, then you should really watch their videos. The two girls
hosting it are so funny and 100% real booknerds! ;)
