Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s WoW feature is:

Severed Heads, Broken Hears by Robyn SchneiderSevered Heads, Broken Hearts
by 

Publisher: Katherine Tegen
Expected publication: June 4, 2013

Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: in one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra’s knee, his athletic career, and his social life.

No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra’s ever met, achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent, and determined to bring Ezra along on her endless adventures.

But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: if one’s singular tragedy has already hit and everything after it has mattered quite a bit, what happens when more misfortune strikes?

Robyn Schneider’s Severed Heads, Broken Hearts is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings. (Goodreads)

This book. Sounds. AMAZING. June seems so far away, I want to read this right now! *grabby hands*

What book are you anxiously waiting for this week?

    Oh, I agree that this one sounds good. I do wonder about that book cover – it’s not exactly the sort of thing I’d pick up in a store. Regardless, I’ll be looking for this when it comes out. Nice pick!

  4. I’m excited about this one too! I talked to a sales rep at Harper about this at ALA and I was extremely intrigued with what she told me…that the summary doesn’t have in it. This is for sure a book I’ll be reading soon.
