Everyone mourns differently. When his older brother was killed, David got angry. As in, fist-meets-someone-else's-face furious. But his parents? They got religious. David's still figuring out his relationship with a higher power, but there's one thing he does know for sure: The closer he gets to new-girl Bailey, the better, brighter, happier, more he feels.
Then his parents start cutting all their worldly ties in to prepare for the Rush, the divine moment when the faithful will be whisked off to Heaven...and they want David to do the same. David's torn. There's a big difference between living in the moment and giving up his best friend, varsity baseball, and Bailey--especially Bailey--in hope of salvation.
But when he comes home late from prom, and late for the Rush, to find that his parents have vanished, David is in more trouble than he ever could have imagined….

ReplyDeleteWoop, thank you for the chance, fingers crossed! :P
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it...I mean, the required entry...that easy?!? You're very generous :).
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to reading this one. Because I'm curious about yet another incarnation of Jeri's. Because it sounds different and awesome. Because I read the first pages on Amazon and it is, indeed, different and awesome. Because it features a male character with a gay best friend - in the face of all the stereotypes. Because...*goes on and on*
Easy peasy! lol
DeleteI am SO excited to read this! I'm not entering as I already preordered. Actually, I'm hoping it's sitting my mail box right now!
ReplyDeleteI must have missed this one
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would make me cry! I hope not... or at least not too much. :) Nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough subject matter but it's handled in a somewhat lighter way. It made me think more than cry.
DeleteWhat an awesome premise!
ReplyDeleteWe have some neighbors who got sucked into a religious cult. They "purged" their belongings, visited all their neighbors to say good-bye (we were being purged, too), and vanished. It really happens!
Yay - I'm entering. I really want to read this!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics
This sounds so unique and thought-provoking. Love that cloudy cover, too!
