Nanette O'Hare is an unassuming teen who has played the role of dutiful daughter, hardworking student, and star athlete for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her his worn copy of The Bugglegum Reaper--a mysterious, out-of-print cult classic--the rebel within Nanette awakens.
As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world with wild abandon, Nanette learns the hard way that rebellion sometimes comes at a high price.
Matthew Quick is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, which was made into an Oscar-winning film. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages and has received a PEN/Hemingway Award Honorable Mention. Matthew lives with his wife, novelist/pianist Alicia Bessette, on North Carolina's Outer Banks.

This was another one that was just ok for me. I couldn't connect with anyone in the story or well the story itself. If your a fan of this kind of story I would totally check it out but for me it just didn't work out.

I can't wait to read this book! Sounds like an amazing read!
As someone who's always been the shy, quiet, good-two shoes, I love stories like this! Especially when it involves awaken via books. I have several books that have this effect on me. (I think every reader does.)
Thanks for the chance to win! broke(.)book(.)bank(@)gmail.com
