This week's WoW is:
The Museum of Intangible Things by Wendy Wunder
Loyalty. Envy. Obligation. Dreams. Disappointment. Fear. Negligence. Coping. Elation. Lust. Nature. Freedom. Heartbreak. Insouciance. Audacity. Gluttony. Belief. God. Karma. Knowing what you want (there is probably a French word for it). Saying Yes. Destiny. Truth. Devotion. Forgiveness. Life. Happiness (ever after).
Hannah and Zoe haven’t had much in their lives, but they’ve always had each other. So when Zoe tells Hannah she needs to get out of their down-and-out New Jersey town, they pile into Hannah’s beat-up old Le Mans and head west, putting everything—their deadbeat parents, their disappointing love lives, their inevitable enrollment at community college—behind them.
As they chase storms and make new friends, Zoe tells Hannah she wants more for her. She wants her to live bigger, dream grander, aim higher. And so Zoe begins teaching Hannah all about life’s intangible things, concepts sadly missing from her existence—things like audacity,insouciance, karma, and even happiness.
An unforgettable read from the acclaimed author of The Probability of Miracles, The Museum of Intangible Things sparkles with the humor and heartbreak of true friendship and first love.

THE COVER IS AMAZING. OMG. LIKE SERIOUSLY AMAZING. And the plot sounds fabulous and super original (plus I love road-trips :D). I haven't actually read The Probability of Miracles (yet), but I've heard amazing things about it so I'm confident this one will be as good!
What are you waiting on?
I'm waiting on this book now! Great post. Will add it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI love stories about best friends-hope this one is as good as it currently sounds!
