When a daredevil teen pushes herself too far, she must choose between two boys: the one who wants to keep her safe, and the one who dares her to return to her old self.
Seventeen-year-old Dyna comes from a long line of risk-takers and is an avid thrill-seeker in her own right, until she takes a terrible fall and splinters her ankle. Her life used to be about bike racing and rock climbing; now it’s about staying home, except for attending physical and group therapy sessions at the bizarre alternative healing center her mom has chosen. Dyna's boyfriend saw her accident and supports her newfound desire for safety, but a young Iraq war veteran she meets at rehab challenges her to think about what she’s really avoiding in her old life and to take chances again—even with her heart.
Why I'm Waiting
- I'm a huge fan of Laurie's! I loved Blaze and The Real Prom Queen's and she's quickly become an auto-read author.
- I like the idea of a teenage daredevil - risk-taker, thrill seeker and how she deals with her life changing due to a serious injury.
- Laurie's humor. She always gets her point across without being preachy. She makes you laugh and makes you think at the same time.
This sounds really good! Here's my wow:
