Waiting on Wednesday: The Disenchantments by Nina LeCour

By

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” selection is:

Description

Publication Date: February 16, 2012
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.

  2. I can’t wait for this either! I have a ARC copy on it’s way (supposedly) and am SUPER excited! I live in the Pacific NW so I’m hoping there are lots of familiar places to me. Great pick!

  4. I soooo want this. Road trip stories are my favourite, plus Dutton Juvenile is basically my fave Penguin imprint!

    Here’s my WoW 🙂
