I’m hoping to make September my month of reading redemption. I’ve fallen behind in my reading challenge and I desperately need to start my festive ARCs. I’ll need to read at least three each month to make sure I’ve got them all done before Blogmas starts. For this reason, I’m only including one book in this month’s post, which is something I’ve never done before. I would talk about my festive ARCs but I think we can all agree that it’s way too early for that. Just know, there are new books from a couple of authors I feature in Blogmas every year.
Rabbit & Juliet by Rebecca Stafford
This is the only ARC I need to read and review in September. I’m pretty sure this is a debut and we all know I love a debut.
I talked about this book a little already in my latest ARC update post and I’m definitely intrigued by the synopsis. It also has a gorgeous cover. You make any cover pink and purple and there’s a high chance I’ll like it.
Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Rabbit has been struggling to stay above water since her mom died. In the span of a year and half, her small Georgia town has become unbearably hellish: Her ex-boyfriend, resident golden boy Richard, turned into an unrelenting stalker; her friends are nonexistent; and her dad is campaigning hard for Functioning Alcoholic of the Year.
But all that changes when the sarcastic, gorgeous, and frustratingly impenetrable Juliet Bergman walks into Rabbit’s life. All hard angles and James Dean bravado, Juliet throws Rabbit a life preserver just before her depression threatened to sink her.
Then one morning, Rabbit’s ex-best-friend Sarah–Richard’s current girlfriend–shares a horrific discovery about Richard and his crew that pitches Rabbit back into darkness. The three girls vow to enact revenge on the boys for what they’ve been doing to unsuspecting girls at parties. With Juliet leading the charge and demanding blind loyalty from the girls, Rabbit falls harder for her than she thought possible. It isn’t until Rabbit is faced with a startling act of violence that she must decide how far she’s willing to go–for herself, for Juliet, and for justice–when love and grief threaten to topple everything.
