Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
The Disenchantments
By Nina LaCour
Release Date: February 16th 2012
Number of Pages: 304
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
SUMMARY: Colby and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate, hit the road with Bev’s band, and then spend the year wandering around Europe. But moments after the tour kicks off, Bev makes a shocking announcement: she’s abandoning their plans – and Colby – to start college in the fall.
But the show must go on and The Disenchantments weave through the Pacific Northwest, playing in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie- Colby struggles to deal with Bev’s already-growing distance and the most important question of all: what’s next?
Morris Award—finalist Nina LaCour draws together the beauty and influences of music and art to brilliantly capture a group of friends on the brink of the rest of their lives.
And you have to ask why I like it? It’s the COVER! It’s gorgeous and vintage-y. Kind of what you get when you use Instagram, no? Hehe Seriously, the plot is interesting. But it’s the cover that caught my attention.
So what about you? What are you Waiting on Wednesday?
