Waiting on Wednesday 5/19/10

Posted on 19 May 2010

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

The book I am eagerly anticipating this week is The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride.

It’s been two years since Noelle disappeared. Two years since her bike was discovered, sprawled on a sidewalk. Two years of silence, of worry, of fear.

For those two long years, her best friend Tessa has waited, living her own life in a state of suspended animation. Because how can she allow herself to enjoy a normal high school life if Noelle can’t? How dare she have other friends, go to dances, date boys, without knowing what happened to the girl she thought she would share everything with?

And then one day, someone calls Noelle’s house. She’s alive.

A haunting psychological thriller taken straight from the headlines, The Tension of Opposites is a striking debut that explores the emotional aftermath of a kidnapping on the victim, and on the people she left behind.

It sounds really interesting to me, plus it has received good reviews from friends that have already read it.
