that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!
I think this book has the potential to be very good. Living with teenagers, I sometimes wonder how they would handle a situation like this and it will be very interesting to read Julie Murphy's take on the topic.
That's what I'm waiting on this Wednesday. Leave me your thoughts and links and I will comment and visit you back!

What if you’d been living your life as if you were dying—only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs—however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, whom she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that’s as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her arch nemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). But just when Alice’s scores are settled, she goes into remission.
Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she’s said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But has she done irreparable damage to the people around her, and to the one person who matters most?

I've already read this one and didn't really enjoy it. :( I hope you'll like it better than I did!

Definitely sounds like it has a lot of potential! It seems like this book continues there where most others stop, so it will either be really good or terrible! I hope it's amazing for your sake :) Thanks for sharing!

It's a hard one to like, but it is really good beneath the awkward bits. It's worth it, anyway, and I really enjoyed it, and since I really wanted to hate the MC, I couldn't. So that says a lot in itself, really. Hope you enjoy it when you get to read it! :)
