Waiting on Wednesday (8): Perfect Escape
by Jennifer Brown
Expected publication: July 10th 2012 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Kendra has always felt overshadowed by her older brother, Grayson, whose OCD forces him to live a life of carefully coordinated routines. The only way Kendra can stand out next to Grayson is to be perfect, and she has perfection down to an art -- until a cheating scandal threatens her flawless reputation.
Behind the wheel of her car, with Grayson asleep beside her, Kendra decides to drive away from it all -- with enough distance, maybe she'll be able to figure everything out. But eventually, Kendra must stop running and come to terms with herself, her brother, and her past.
With undeniable grace and humor, acclaimed author Jennifer Brown explores OCD, the pressure for perfection, and the emotional highs and lows of a complex sibling relationship.
Why I need it: I have a confession to make: I'm a perfectionist!!!! It’s
terrible sometimes, but I can’t help it! I always like to make sure what I put
out is my best! So that is why I'm so excited to read about someone else who
feels the need to be perfect. I think
this book has the potential to make you ponder your own life, which are books I
always like to read about!!!!
What's are you impatiently waiting for?
