This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Outlander meets The Sun Is Also a Star in this teen romance that follows two lovers fated to repeat their story across hundreds of lifetimes, who hope to break the cycle once and for all.
Tamar is a headstrong slave in Mali, a high school junior with a terminal illness on a last-chance trip, a young woman struggling for independence in a segregated train car steaming her toward an arranged marriage. She is a musician, a warrior, a survivor.
Fayard is a soldier that must obey all the rules set before him, a charming high school senior who wishes to give his high school sweetheart a promise ring, a lost young man who runs numbers for King Fats in Chicago. He is a con man, a pioneer, a hopeless romantic.
Together, Tamar and Fayard have lived a thousand lives, seen the world go through revolutions and civil wars, and have even watched humanity take to the stars. But in each life one thing remains the same: Tamar and Fayard fall in love. Tamar and Fayard fight to be with each other. Tamar and Fayard die. Over and over again until, perhaps at last, they learn what it will take to break the cycle.

Why I’m Waiting: Although there is a spot that sounds iffy on here (slave and soldier, gross) I’m still interested in the reincarnation aspect of this. It sounds interesting and sad and romantic all at the same time. I’m hella interested in seeing how this will play out.
What about you? Have you heard about this? Will you be reading this? Let me know in the comments!
OOh nice pick! Reincarnation stories are always intriguing one. I haven’t read too many of them though I distantly remember one from many years ago that was kind of interesting. Hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
