A modern retelling of the German legend "Tristan and Isolde", "Tris and Izzy", is about a young witch named Izzie who is dating Mark King, the captain of the basketball team and thinks her life is going swimmingly well.
That is, until-- she makes a love potion for her best friend Brangane and then ends up taking it herself accidentally, and falling in love with Tristan, the new guy at school.
I'm not going to lie...that's a pretty darn vague description. That said, I'm a sucker for classic romances (especially doomed ones - colour me a sadist) like Tristan & Isolde. Plus, I like modern spins on classic tales, and I especially like it when they have incredible covers. So, basically, Tris & Izzie has all the makings of what I hope for in a great book...I certainly hope it lives up when it finally comes out! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
