Giveaway! Two Books!

Thanks to TLA's April conference and HarperTeen, I have an ARC of You Look Different in Real Life by Jennifer Castle to giveaway. I'm pairing it with Perfect Escape by Jennifer Brown, which came out last year. (Two Jennifers. Covers with large title text. A perfect match!)

So! Here's your chance to win two books...

The premise was simple: five kids living their real lives, with a new movie about them every five years.

But the six-year-olds who shared the same table in kindergarten have become teenagers who hardly know each other. And Justine, whose edgy sense of humor made her the surprise star of the first two films, now feels like a disappointment.

Still. They've all shared the painful details of their lives with countless viewers. They all know how it feels to have fans as well as friends. So when the latest movie gives them the chance to reunite, Justine and her costars are going to take it. Because sometimes, the only way to see yourself is through someone else's eyes.

Kendra has always felt overshadowed by her older brother, Grayson, whose OCD forces him to live a life of carefully coordinated routines. The only way Kendra can stand out next to Grayson is to be perfect, and she has perfection down to an art -- until a cheating scandal threatens her flawless reputation.

Behind the wheel of her car, with Grayson asleep beside her, Kendra decides to drive away from it all -- with enough distance, maybe she'll be able to figure everything out. But eventually, Kendra must stop running and come to terms with herself, her brother, and her past.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE by Sarah Dessen

Stick around... To celebrate the blog's one month anniversary, there's a GIVEAWAY at the end of this post! (Yes, one WHOLE month! Ha.)

 WHAT  HAPPENED TO GOODBYE by Sarah Dessen

YA - Hardcover, 402 pages
Published May 10, 2011
IndieBound / The Book Depository / Goodreads / Amazon

Since her parents' bitter divorce, Mclean and her dad, a restaurant consultant, have been on the move - four towns in two years. Estranged from her mother and her mother's new family, Mclean has followed her dad in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But now, for the first time, Mclean discovers a desire to stay in one place and just be herself - whoever that is. Perhaps her neighbor Dave, an academic superstar trying to be just a regular guy, can help her find out.

Sarah Dessen is an automatic buy & read for me. I’ve been reading her books since I was 15, and I’m about to turn 29. When I think of contemporary YA with a solid cast of characters and real life scenarios, she’s it.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE is about a girl named Mclean, although she’s also known as Beth, Lizbit, and Eliza, depending on which town you're in. After her parents’ divorce, Mclean follows her dad around as he rehabs restaurants, while working to discover who she really is by reinventing herself in each new place. When they land in Lakeview, to work at the Luna Blu, she decides to be herself on a whim and uses her real name.

Mclean is Dessen’s classic every-girl. As you read, you’ll find yourself slipping into her world and never wanting to leave. She’s got family dysfunction to work through, a new town to settle into, and a boy to crush on. There’s more family and less BOY in this one than usual, I think, and I would’ve loved for Mclean to get a bit more action in the romance department, but it’s not completely lacking.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE is the perfect choice for longtime Dessen fans, and those seeking a comforting, quiet read. The quirky cast of characters, including the Tracy Flick-esque Deb and genius neighbor, Dave, will keep you interested throughout.

Happy one month anniversary to the blog! (Ha!)
