WoW - Far From You




"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 

Far From You

May 6, 2014
Sophie Winters nearly died. Twice.

The first time, she's fourteen, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that'll take years to kick. 

The second time, she's seventeen, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

After a forced stint in rehab, Sophie returns home to a chilly new reality. Mina's brother won't speak to her, her parents fear she'll relapse, old friends have become enemies, and Sophie has to learn how to live without her other half. To make matters worse, no one is looking in the right places and Sophie must search for Mina's murderer on her own. But with every step, Sophie comes closer to revealing all: about herself, about Mina and about the secret they shared.

I'm really interested in this one. There is a hint of the girls being involved in a drug deal which is new to me. I've read a lot about guys who are in the drug business but never a female perspective. I'm also interested in seeing how Sophie is going to deal with the obvious mistreatment that she will be faced with and what is this secret she speaks of?!

    1. Welcome to WoW! Haha, it's one of my favourite memes for exactly that reason :)

  2. I've been seeing this book but it didn't quite appeal to me even after I have read the synopsis. I guess I am done with drug dealing stories and I couldn't see any avenues the authors can make it more interesting. I'm sorry if I am being a horrible cynic.

    But I guess I'll give this one a try if the goodreads rating is high and of course, if you love it. Anyway, I hope you'll be able to get this this year. Good luck!

    1. No, that's totally fine. I feel the same way about many other books so I can understand. I hope this one is different and we both enjoy it :)

    1. Come to think of it, I haven't either. I wonder if she is a debut. Hmm.
