Waiting on Wednesday #9: The Different Girl



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where you showcase an upcoming release you're anxiously awaiting!
This week, I'm waiting on:


The Different Girl by Gordon Dahlquist.


Expected Publication: February 21, 2013.
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile.


Goodreads Summary:
Four nearly identical girls on a desert island. An unexpected new arrival. A gently warped near future where nothing is quite as it seems.

Veronika. Caroline. Isobel. Eleanor. One blond, one brunette, one redhead, one with hair black as tar. Four otherwise identical girls who spend their days in sync, tasked to learn. But when May, a very different kind of girl—the lone survivor of a recent shipwreck—suddenly and mysteriously arrives on the island, an unsettling mirror is about to be held up to the life the girls have never before questioned.

Sly and unsettling, Gordon Dahlquist’s timeless and evocative storytelling blurs the lines between contemporary and sci-fi with a story that is sure to linger in readers’ minds long after the final page has been turned.


Why I'm excited: This one sounds very different from anything I've read recently. It has a very intriguing blurb  and I think it's something that will bring the unexpected. Sounds very cool!

What are you waiting on this week?
