Waiting on Wednesday #19

I'm going to be completely honest. I didn't hear about this book until recently and it was only because I googled December releases. Most of the books that I'm really looking forward to are being released in January so I was just curious to see what would be releasing at the end of the year and this book caught my eyes. Maybe it was because it was talking about the housing projects or maybe because Angie Thomas marked it as to read. Either way, I want to read this book now.

Summary: Fight or Flight. All Kayla Asher wants to do is run. Run from the government housing complex she calls home. Run from her unstable mother. Run from a desperate job at No Limit Foods. Run to a better, cleaner, safer life. Every day is one day closer to leaving. All Betsy Hopewell wants to do is survive. Survive the burner phone hidden under her bed. Survive her new rules. Survive a new school with new classmates. Survive being watched. Every minute grants her another moment of life. But when fate brings Kayla and Betsy together, only one girl will live.

Release Date: December 12, 2017
