Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:
The Wrong Side of Right
Jenn Marie Thorne
Publication date: March 17th 2015
by Dial Books
Fans of Sarah Dessen and Huntley Fitzpatrick will enjoy this smart debut young adult novel, equal parts My Life Next Door and The Princess Diaries—plus a dash of Aaron Sorkin.
Kate Quinn’s mom died last year, leaving Kate parentless and reeling. So when the unexpected shows up in her living room, Kate must confront another reality she never thought possible—or thought of at all. Kate does have a father. He’s a powerful politician. And he’s running for U.S. President. Suddenly, Kate’s moving in with a family she never knew she had, joining a campaign in support of a man she hardly knows, and falling for a rebellious boy who may not have the purest motives. This is Kate’s new life. But who is Kate? When what she truly believes flies in the face of the campaign’s talking points, she must decide. Does she turn to the family she barely knows, the boy she knows but doesn’t necessarily trust, or face a third, even scarier option?
Set against a backdrop of politics, family, and first love, this is a story of personal responsibility, complicated romance, and trying to discover who you are even as everyone tells you who you should be.

Colour me shocked, but I don’t have any books preordered this week! O_o
Well, that way I’ll finally get caught up on my pending review copies without new shiny books to distract me!

I am trying REALLY hard not to buy any new books for a while. I have over a hundred on my Kindle and I have about a dozen ARC.s Argh. But there are so many new releases that it’s going to make it difficult. I am very excited for Everything that makes you and Under a painted sky.

Oh, goodness – does the awesome never stop on this blog?! Giselle, you are completely out of control! 😀

This is my first time seeing it, but I love the sound of The Wrong Side of Right. I hate politics in a real life (who doesn’t) but I’d love to read this fictional spin on it.
