Flavor of the week:
The First Time She Drowned
Kerry Kletter
Publication date: March 15th 2016
by Philomel Books
The beautiful struggle of a girl desperate for the one relationship that has caused her the most pain
Cassie O’Malley has spent the past two and a half years in a mental institution—dumped there by her mother, against her will. Now, at 18, Cassie emancipates herself, determined to start over. She attends college, forms new friendships, and even attempts to start fresh with her mother. But before long, their unhealthy relationship threatens to pull Cassie under once again. As Cassie struggles to reclaim her life, childhood memories persist and confuse, and Cassie must consider whose version of history is real, and more important, whose life she must save.
A bold, literary story about the fragile complexities of mothers and daughters and learning to love oneself, The First Time She Drowned reminds us that we must dive deep into our pasts if we are ever to move forward.

I don’t have any books preordered this week, but there’s a few of them that I’m quite curious about!
Rachel Lightwood @ Quite the Novel Idea
I’ve already read Liars and Losers Like Us and loved it. It could have been a little longer, but it was all kinds of adorable. Not many other releases I’m looking forward to this week unfortunately.
Cynthia @ Bingeing On Books
The First Time She Drowned is on my TBR for sure. I love the sound of the premise of this one.
