Waiting on Wednesday #75: No Place to Fall by Jaye Robin Brown



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where you showcase an upcoming release you're anxiously awaiting!

This week, I'm waiting on:
No Place to Fall by Jaye Robin Brown.

Expected Publication: December 9, 2014.
by: HarperTeen.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Amber Vaughn is a good girl. She sings solos at church, babysits her nephew after school, and spends every Friday night hanging out at her best friend Devon’s house. It’s only when Amber goes exploring in the woods near her home, singing camp songs with the hikers she meets on the Appalachian Trail, that she feels free—and when the bigger world feels just a little bit more in reach.
When Amber learns about an audition at the North Carolina School of the Arts, she decides that her dream—to sing on bigger stages—could also be her ticket to a new life. Devon’s older (and unavailable) brother, Will, helps Amber prepare for her one chance to try out for the hypercompetitive arts school. But the more time Will and Amber spend together, the more complicated their relationship becomes . . . and Amber starts to wonder if she’s such a good girl, after all.
Then, in an afternoon, the bottom drops out of her family’s world—and Amber is faced with an impossible choice between her promise as an artist and the people she loves. Amber always thought she knew what a good girl would do. But between “right” and “wrong,” there’s a whole world of possibilities.

Why I'm excited:
Darn it, Harper! December! That's still pretty far off. I'm not always one for contemp; usually the synopsis really has to catch my attention for me to get excited. Between this synopsis - which sounds like it questions all kinds of interesting things - and hearing about the book through the YA Valentines and the author's Twitter, I'm in. Fingers crossed it's a great one!

What are you waiting on this week?

  2. I haven't heard of this book, but it sounds amazing. I love contemporary YA books, so this one is going to my TBR-list.
    Great pick!
