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:

Breathe by Sarah Crossan
Publisher: Greenwillow

Expected publication: October 2, 2012

Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe . . .

The world is dead.
The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.

ALINA
has been stealing for a long time. She’s a little jittery, but not terrified. All she knows is that she’s never been caught before. If she’s careful, it’ll be easy. If she’s careful.

QUINN
should be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even though this is dangerous, it’s also the most interesting thing to happen to him in ages. It isn’t every day that the girl of your dreams asks you to rescue her.

BEA
wants to tell him that none of this is fair; they’d planned a trip together, the two of them, and she’d hoped he’d discover her out here, not another girl.

And as they walk into the Outlands with two days’ worth of oxygen in their tanks, everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it back? Will they want to? (Goodreads)

This book sounds intense and just… AWESOME! It’s been a while since my world has been rocked by a dystopian but I think this one has great potential… I’ve been excited about this book since I first heard the synopsis (even if I couldn’t remember the title and had to describe it to peeps, for them to tell me it was called Breathe), and was lucky to get an ARC (signed!) at BEA so I hope to read it soon!

What book are you anxiously waiting for this week?
