WoW: Panic by Lauren Oliver (13)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine.

Panic by Lauren Oliver
published on march 4, 2014
Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

    1. Yeah, I loved Before I Fall. I have to admit that I haven't read Delirium because I've heard negative things about Requiem, the final installment, but hopefully I'll get to those books this year! (:

      Thank you for the comment! I'll be returning the favor.

  3. Ah, yes. Panic. I have the ARC of this one and need to read it. I'm just not sure about it. I know it will be good, but probably also heartbreaking and so I need to read a happy book before or after it. :) Great pick!

    Here's mine.

  7. Great Pick!
    I've only read Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, but I really enjoyed it, I haven't gotten to her Delerium series yet (hopefully this year). This book looks really good though!
