Waiting on Wednesday: I'll Meet You There


I'll Meet You There
Author: Heather Demetrios
Publisher: Henry Holt Books
Expected Publication: February 3, 2015
Goodreads

 Synopsis:
If seventeen-year-old Skyler Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage-months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she’s ever worked for is on the line.
Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings them together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper.
Gritty, romantic, and ultimately hopeful, I'll MEET YOU THERE explores the complicated lives of an unforgettable cast of characters. This is the story of teens outside the picket fence. It doesn’t soften the edges of adolescence or the individual consequences of war; it’s life on the fringes—maddening, weirdly endearing…and completely screwed up.
My Thoughts: I was also a teen that grew up far outside the white picket fence so I can't wait to read this novel by Heather Demetrios. I've read Heather's other novels Something Real and Exquisite Captive this year and loved both of them. I have a feeling I'll Meet You There will be no different!

    Oh my goodness. This summary sounds interesting. I'm really interested in hearing about Josh and how exactly leg was blown off. I hope there are some flashbacks. I have another book to add to my 2015 TBR list now. :) Thanks. Here is my WoW: https://yaindulgences.wordpress.com/2014/08/21/waiting-on-wednesday-4/
