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!
From award-winning author Tehlor Kay Mejia comes a spine-tingling tale of transformation, mystery, and the monsters we face—inside and out.
What big teeth…
For twelve-year-old Evan, summertime has always meant carefree days with her family and unlimited time with her best friend, Billie. This year, with her parents on the brink of divorce, she’s staying at Billie’s summer cabin. But Billie only seems to care about crushes these days, and to make matters worse, Evan’s mom’s health obsession has climbed to new heights. The more Evan tries to appease her mom and control her hunger, the sharper it seems to get, until it threatens to drag her under.
As Evan tries to cling to the good things in her life, a sinister presence in the woods begins to stir. Kids are scared, and adults think everyone should go home. Determined to stay, Evan starts hunting for the creature and begins to wonder—is it just her imagination, or is the monster inside her?

Why I’m Waiting: This just sounds emotional, raw, and scary. I’ve heard some really great things about it tho. I did hear that there are some triggers, so tread carefully if you read this. It has a deeper meaning than just the horror story, so I’m hella excited to see what this MG book is about!
What about you? Have you read anything by this author? Will you read this one? Let me know in the comments!
Oh wow! That sounds pretty heavy for a MG novel. But I guess I haven’t looked at many of those lately. Hope you enjoy it once you get to read it!
