Sarah Crossan tweetet today the cover of Resist, the sequel for her dystopian novel Breathe. Resist will be published October 2013, and I'll be waiting for it! Now, isn't that cover a beauty? :)

Thoughts on Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Beautiful
Disaster by Jamie McGuire is a good book to read if you like romance, comedy
and drama. I don’t know if I would have read it without being convinced and
told I should. It didn’t seem my kind of a book at first. In the end I really
liked Travis and sometimes Abby wasn’t that bad either. What I really enjoyed was that the
book wasn’t the usual YA-book, it didn’t contain supernatural stuff, I liked
the more realistic plot.
Travis
Maddox is known for his bad temper and countless one night stands. He’s the one
guy on the Eastern campus everyone either wants or fears.
Abby
Abernathy has moved out of Wichita America meet Travis who is America
Travis and
Abby become friends, something no one has ever seen Travis do. He has never
been friends with a woman before. They study and spent lots of time together
and people start questioning their motives and relationship.Things escalate and
eventually they admit they can’t just be friends.
Abby is constantly irritated
by Travis’s need to protect her and kind of “mark his territory”. They break up and make up and everyone seems
to be waiting them to end things for real. Travis finds out about Abby’s past
and stands by her everywhere she turns.
In the end
Beautiful Disaster is a love story, though not the easiest one. It contains real emotions, anticipation and the hopes and fears of the future. I think many university and college students can relate to all those moments and feelings described in the book. McGuire did a good job writing this one.
