I remember when I read Something Real by Heather Demetrios, and I didn't really expect anything from it at all. The cover didn't speak to me, I thought it wouldn't be very deep, and yet it captivated me from the start, and it catapulted its way to being one of my all-time favourite contemporary stories in the YA genre. So, I'm on the lookout for stories like that these days, and where better to look than at a new title from Ms. Demetrios herself?

Title: I'll Meet You There
Author: Heather Demetrios (Twitter)
Publisher: Henry Holt BYR
Publish Date: February 3, 2015
Genre: YA, Contemporary
Pages: 400
If seventeen-year-old Skyler Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage-months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she’s ever worked for is on the line.Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings them together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper.
I'm all about gritty novels that capture reality - and hey, if they pepper in a little romance, that can't hurt either, right? The beauty of Ms. Demetrios's writing is that she can make the most mundane of circumstances come to life, and she makes her characters just sing with reality, heart and honesty. That's why I'm completely and utterly sold on I'll Meet You There. Is the cover necessarily something to write home about? No, but I have a feeling that it suits the novel, and that the book will definitely be something to keep on my favourite shelf. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?

Great pick! This does sound raw and real as well as a book many can relate to. I'll have to add it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI have read about how happy the author was with the cover, cause it reflected what she wanted about the book.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about this one myself, and I'll be giving it a try for sure!
Great pick, Melissa!
Totally new to me! Not sure it's my kind of read but still hope you love it once you read it!

While I didn't love her Exquisite Captive, this one definitely has me intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI've read both of Demetrios's books and loved both of them so I am SO excited for this one--can't wait for it to release already! (Or at least to get an ARC!) ;) Wonderful pick, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteYOU AND ME BOTH MELISSA!!! I just finished Exquisite Captive which was my first book of hers, and I absolutely adored it. Definitely going to go back and read Something Real now:) I'm already counting the days until this one comes out!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Exquisite Captive right now and loving it! It sounds very different from this, but I'm totally adding this one to my wish list too. :)
ReplyDeletefor me this is a very very good information, because its contents make us become better know and learn more about the wide world, so it would greatly add insight for me, laneways that I say many thanks.
