This week was quite hard for me because I love quotes I don’t know what it is about that, but I just seem to love them so much. Also the fact that I have a lot of favourite books makes it that much harder. So I have just chose a few quotes from some of my favourite books. There is heaps more that I love to bits but I just narrowed it down.

So here are some of my Favourite Quotes, if you want to see more quotes that I like check my goodreads liked quotes .

Synopsis

Sophie Winters nearly died. Twice.

The first time, she’s fourteen, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that’ll take years to kick.

The second time, she’s seventeen, and it’s no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina’s murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

After a forced stint in rehab, Sophie returns home to a chilly new reality. Mina’s brother won’t speak to her, her parents fear she’ll relapse, old friends have become enemies, and Sophie has to learn how to live without her other half. To make matters worse, no one is looking in the right places and Sophie must search for Mina’s murderer on her own. But with every step, Sophie comes closer to revealing all: about herself, about Mina and about the secret they shared

Why am I waiting for it? Firstly the c0ver is gorgeous!! Both this cover and the US cover. I don’t know which I like best. I am really liking, Mystery Thriller at the moment so that element immediately caught my eye. Also the fact that it’s contemporary and I am trying to read of it more this year is pretty awesome as well. It comes out in a few months so I don’t have to wait to long.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
