The Unquiet by Jeannine GarseePublication date: July 17, 2012
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Sixteen-year-old Rinn Jacobs has secrets: One, she’s bipolar. Two, she killed her grandmother.
After a suicide attempt, and now her parents' separation, Rinn and her mom move from California to the rural Ohio town where her mother grew up. Back on her medications (again!) and hoping to stay well, Rinn settles into her new home and school. She refuses to be daunted by the fact that the previous owner hanged herself in Rinn's bedroom, or that her classmates believe the school pool is haunted by Annaliese, a girl who drowned there. But when a reckless séance goes awry, and terrible things start happening to her new friends—yet not to her—Rinn is determined to find out why she can’t be "touched" by Annaliese...or if Annaliese even exists.
With the help of Nate Brenner, the hunky “farmer boy” she’s rapidly falling for, Rinn devises a dangerous plan to uncover the truth. Soon reality and fantasy meld into one, till Rinn finds it nearly impossible to tell the difference. When a malevolent force threatens the lives of everyone she cares about--not to mention her own--she can't help wondering: who should she really be afraid of? Annaliese? Or herself?

This book sounds amazing to me. And it's got ghosts, guys! Ghosts! I love ghosts! And a "hunky farmer boy!" Anyone read Texas Gothic? *ahem* That's a hunky farmer boy. Anyways...Am I the only one noticing a higher number than usual of book releases that have main characters with a mental illness (or possibly has one)? Not complaining. Just making an observation.
What are you waiting for??
This is one of my most highly anticipated books of the year! I Can't wait for this one!!
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I was actually thinking about the exact same thing. There are more and more books like this out there. Not that I'm complaining, they tend to be quite good.
