"Waiting On" Wednesday #20

Photo Credit: Jessica from Rainb0wPieces






"Waiting On" Wednesday is hosted by Jill at her blog, Breaking the Spine, spotlighting on eagerly anticipated upcoming releases.


Title: Hurt
Author: Tabitha Suzuma
Genre: Young Adult, Realistic, Contemporary
Publisher: Definitions
Release Date: 5 September 2013
Pages: 400 (Paperback)

Synopsis
Why? is the burning question on everyone’s lips. Why would a guy like Mathéo Walsh want to die? At seventeen, he is Britain’s most promising diving champion. He is a heartthrob, a straight A student and lives in one of the wealthiest areas of London. He has great mates and is the envy of everyone around him. And most importantly of all, he is deeply in love with his girlfriend, Lola. He has always been a stable, well-adjusted guy...

Until one weekend. A weekend he cannot seem to remember. All he knows is that he has come back a changed person. One who no longer knows how to have fun, no longer wants to spend time with his friends, no longer enjoys diving. Something terrible happened that weekend – something violent and bloody and twisted. He no longer knows who he is. He no longer trusts himself around people: he only wants to hurt, wound and destroy. Slowly, he begins to piece back the buried, fragmented memories, and finds himself staring at the reflection of a monster.

Tormented, Mathéo suddenly finds himself faced with the most devastating choice of his life. Keep his secret, and put those closest to him in terrible danger. Or confess, and lose Lola forever...

The Why of Wait
The synopsis has left me breathless. Tabitha Suzuma seems to question the choices that leads us to our fate in life. No wonder I'm fascinated with realistic fiction. I also admire books written from the male point of view; they hold a certain appeal like the wave of unknown in a sea of known.
