So, this is going to be another two book week. One of my picks looks very cute and funny and the other looks very serious and deep. I look forward to reading both sometime this summer.
Book: Post Grad by Emily Cassel
Release Date: June 9
Summary:
What happens when your life doesn’t go according to plan?
Ryden Malby had a plan. Step One: do well in high school, thereby achieving Step Two: get a kick-butt college scholarship. Step Three – limit her beer pong in order to keep said scholarship – wasn’t always easy. Now that she’s finally graduated, it’s time for Step Four: moving to LA to land her dream job at the city’s best publishing house. So far, Ryden’s three-for-three, but she’s about to stumble on Step Four….
When Jessica Bard, Ryden’s college nemesis—the prettiest, smartest, most ambitious girl at school—steals her perfect job, Ryden’s forced to move back to her childhood home in the Valley. Stuck with her eccentric family – a karate-obsessed dad, a politically incorrect grandma, a spoiled-brat little brother – and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she’s going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend Adam—and running into her hot next-door neighbor David. But if Ryden’s going to survive life as a post-grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan…
Book: Crash Into Me by Albert Borris
Release Date: July 21
Summary:
Owen, Frank, Audrey, and Jin-Ae have one thing in common: they all want to die. When they meet online after each attempts suicide and fails, the four teens make a deadly pact: they will escape together on a summer road trip to visit the sites of celebrity suicides…and at their final destination, they will all end their lives. As they drive cross-country, bonding over their dark impulses, sharing their deepest secrets and desires, living it up, hooking up, and becoming true friends, each must decide whether life is worth living–or if there’s no turning back.
So, as I said one funny, the other serious. They are definitely two different types of stories so I thought they would be good together as a waiting on Wednesday. Post Grad has Alexis Bledel on the cover and it will be a movie this August. It looks so funny. I can’t wait to read it and see it. I love Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls so I hope I like her in this movie. Also, Crash Into Me looks really good. I love the cover and I really like the summary. Hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.
Here is the trailer for Post Grad if anybody would like to see more. The movie will be released August 21, just in time for the new school year.
Post Grad looks cute and funny…Alexis is such a good actress!
Oh wow! “Post Grad” looks amazing!! I have to read that one! And so does the movie, I’m so excited!
When I saw the cover for POST GRAD I immediately recogized Alexis. I definitely am going to have to read the book and watch the movie. Yay Gilmore Girls!
