Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve picked a standalone by an author that is another favorite of mine. Hmm, do I say that every week? Well, since I do love authors, they are my rock stars, I guess it only makes sense. This one sounds like a twisty story that maybe can’t be quite placed as either a science fiction, or maybe it’s just a drama type of story. I guess we won’t know until we read it! Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him. So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he’s actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have “superpowers.”
At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.
But even the strength of their love isn’t enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she’s not actually dead. He believes that she’s stuck somewhere in time — that he somehow left her in the past, and now it’s his job to save her.
So, what do you think, it sounds like either it is really about kids with superpowers, or maybe they’re actually in a school for kids who are troubled, and they are just actually troubled mentally. I don’t know, can’t tell for sure. But I’m very eager to read it and find out just what is going on. And I know the author’s writing will make it a fascinating read!
What book are you eagerly awaiting this week? Do you think you’ll add this one to your TBR?

This sounds like a very interesting read. It could be like the children from Miss. Peregrine's who all have unique abilities, which would be pretty cool. I hope you enjoy it!

That's true! I'm excited to read it! Thanks for stopping by!
It sounds like it has a little of everything…time travel, history, paranormal, angsty-teenagers, mental health issues, romance. I've seen Beth Revis's name but can't remember if I've read her before. I will look for it. When is it published?
It comes out in July, so pretty soon! She's one of my favorite authors, not as well known as I wish she was I think. Thanks for visiting!
Oh this one sounds really good lol!
It does, doesn't it? 🙂
I just found out about this one coming out soon on another WoW post 🙂 It sounds so good!
Love her writing.
Here's my WoW post 🙂

I love this author's writing as well! Glad I'm not the only one out there. Thanks for visiting!
Ooh, I just downloaded an arc from Penguin's First To Read. I can't wait to read it and see what it's all about. I hope we both enjoy it!

So jealous! I didn't get it from First to Read. But I think I can get it on Edelweiss. I never seem to get anything from Penguin's First to REad. Oh well. We'll have to compare notes on this one after we read it! Thanks for stopping by!
I just read this book! I liked it a lot. SO different from Revis' debut trilogy, and The Body Electric. I love how well the story was written – so well-structured. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a lovely week, Lisa. =)

Glad to hear it was good! I love all her books before, so can't wait to read this one. Thanks for returning the visit!
Wow, this sounds really good! If I had to guess, it sounds like it might be about mental illness, but I'm curious to find out:-)
I'm so excited to find out. The author's writing is just wonderful! Thanks for stopping by!
It makes me eager to find out more too! Nice pick.
Here's my WoW.
It's a great blurb! Thanks for visiting!
Ooh this does sound intriguing! I'm curious to see what direction the author takes this one in. PLUS, I have yet to read anything by Revis and I KNOW I need too.

Thanks! I'm very excited for it!
I have wanted to read one of Beth Revis's books forever! This one sounds just as amazing as her others. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This could be a good one to start with if you aren't sure about the science fiction in her other books. Thanks for stopping by!
