Book: Zen and Xander Undone by Amy Kathleen Ryan
Release date: May 3, 2010 from Houghton Mifflin
Summary: Zen and Xander are sisters—truly, madly, deeply sisters, and this is their last summer together.
Zen is the “good” girl with a black belt in karate and a newfound penchant for kicking heads. Xander is a wild scientific genius with a self-destructive streak a light-year long. They have three things in common: they’re brown-eyed blondes, they’ve noticed the boy next door has turned into a hottie, and they miss their mom, who died almost a year ago.These sisters are surviving just fine—except Zen keeps getting into fights that are harder and harder to finish, while Xander spirals into a vortex of late-night parties, scary men, and drugs. What’s worse, Xander has scholarships to the most coveted universities in the country, but she’s about to ruin everything. Should Zen keep trying to protect Xander, or finally let her go?
My reasons for wanting this book terribly:
1-It’s about sisters. I love reading about sisters because I don’t have one. I like seeing what it’s like.
2-That summary just pulls you in. I want to know more and I want to know now. =]
3-I have heard that her other book was pretty good so this one should be too.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Great pick! This sounds so amazing and the cover is great!
Oou, this book sounds great! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This book sounds weird, and for that, I think I’ll like it. I love the names Zen and Xander, although Xander will forever be a boy’s name for me.
This was my pick a few weeks ago. I really want to read it. And I love the cover, its cute. Great pick!
I love that you almost always feature books I haven’t heard of yet. Interesting pick. I also really like reading about sisters because I don’t have one either.
I’m excited for this one as well! And this version of the cover I haven’t seen yet! It looks different yet the same…
