Some friends fade away….Others disappear.

Imagine you and your best friend head out West on a cross-country bike trek.

Imagine that the two of you get into a fight — and stop riding together.

Imagine you reach Seattle, go back home, start college.

Imagine you think your former best friend does too.

Imagine he doesn’t.

Imagine your world shifting …

  Six teens face a bioterrorist attack on American soil as four are infected with a mysterious disease affecting their small New Jersey neighborhood and two others, both brilliant computer hackers, assist the United States Intelligence Coalition in tracking the perpetrators.

Library at 2:15!

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would “unwind” them.  Connor’s parents want to be rid of him because he’s a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev’s unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family’s strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can’t be harmed — but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.

Welcome to our October Book Club Blog for Wicked Lovely!

I have been hearing comments already about the novel. Some people like it and some don’t…which is fine. I personally don’t like fantasy, but it’s growing on me. I’m on page 100 but will definitely be finished by the time of book club. What I want to do is to have you make comments on this blog about the novel. Tell me what you found interesting, liked, hated or post a question to the group (book club). Feel free to start talking about it prior to book club. Your comment will not automatically appear, I have to approve it first. Have fun and enjoy the rest of the book. See you October 20th at 2:15 in the library!
