Nya YA-boksläpp 3/8 - 9/8

Never Always Sometimes - Adi Alsaid

Never date your best friend 

Always be original 

Sometimes rules are meant to be broken 

Best friends Dave and Julia were determined to never be cliché high school kids—the ones who sit at the same lunch table every day, dissecting the drama from homeroom and plotting their campaigns for prom king and queen. They even wrote their own Never List of everything they vowed they'd never, ever do in high school. 

Some of the rules have been easy to follow, like #5, never die your hair a color of the rainbow, or #7, never hook up with a teacher. But Dave has a secret: he's broken rule #8, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. It's either that or break rule #10, never date your best friend. Dave has loved Julia for as long as he can remember. 

Julia is beautiful, wild and impetuous. So when she suggests they do every Never on the list, Dave is happy to play along. He even dyes his hair an unfortunate shade of green. It starts as a joke, but then a funny thing happens: Dave and Julia discover that by skipping the clichés, they've actually been missing out on high school. And maybe even on love.

Svenska böcker/översättningar

 

Mina tankar
Första veckan i augusti bjuder verkligen på galet många nya böcker. Never Always Sometimes och Daughter of Dusk åker direkt upp på att-läsa-listan. Är även nyfiken på Truble is a friend of mine, men tänker vänta på den svenska översättningen som släpps i september. Manifest för hopplösa är jag också nyfiken på, men har inte läst första boken i serien (?) än. Röd drottning vill jag också läsa, men har inte bestämt om det ska bli översättningen eller originalspråk.
