Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.
 After his older brother dies in Iraq, Matt makes a discovery that rocks his beliefs about strength, bravery, and honor in this page-turning debut. Ever since his brother, T.J., was killed in Iraq, Matt feels like he’s been sleepwalking through life — failing classes, getting into fights, and avoiding his dad’s lectures about following in his brother’s footsteps. T.J.’s gone, but Matt can’t shake the feeling that if only he could get his hands on his brother’s stuff from Iraq, he’d be able to make sense of his death. But as Matt searches for answers about T.J.’s death, he faces a shocking revelation about T.J.’s life that suggests he may not have known T.J. as well as he thought. What he learns challenges him to stand up to his father, honor his brother’s memory, and take charge of his own life. With compassion, humor, and a compelling narrative voice, E. M. Kokie explores grief, social mores, and self-discovery in a provocative first novel. --- This sounds like a good male POV book that deals with the military. I can't wait to read it once it is released on September 11th and find out more about Matt and TJ. What are you Waiting On this Wednesday? And have a great 4th of July!

Sounds perfect for a Sept. 11th release. I will have to keep a look out for it. Not usually what I would pick up - a good one for the library! http://breatheinbooks.blogspot.com New Follower!
ReplyDeleteYESS A MALE POV! Haha, I'm just a bit overexcited since there are seriously not enough books told from a male's perspective! That alone has me itching to get my hands on a copy of this. But aside from that, it sounds like a really amazing book! Thanks for sharing and stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds quite good! And this is coming from someone who doesn't normally read contemporary.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing good things about this book. eeek Sounds really good! Male POV is a big plus since we rarely get them or at least I think I've read more female POV. Awesome pick!
