Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post created by Breaking the Spine that features anticipated books.
“I need Owen to explain this. Because yes, I do know that Owen would never do that, but I also know Hannah would never lie about something like that.”
Mara and Owen are about as close as twins can get. So when Mara’s friend Hannah accuses Owen of rape, Mara doesn’t know what to think. Can the brother she loves really be guilty of such a violent crime? Torn between the family she loves and her own sense of right and wrong, Mara is feeling lost, and it doesn’t help that things have been strained with her ex and best friend since childhood, Charlie.
As Mara, Hannah, and Charlie navigate this new terrain, Mara must face a trauma from her own past and decide where Charlie fits in her future. With sensitivity and openness, this timely novel confronts the difficult questions surrounding consent, victim blaming, and sexual assault.
Release Date: May 15, 2018
It definitely has a mesmerizing cover though. 😛
Right? Young adult books always have nice covers.
I love the cover – I’d not heard of it before but this intrigues me.

I thought the same thing when I was looking for a book. Definitely underrated.
