Teaser Tuesday 12

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Should Be Reading.

The idea is to:
Grab the book you are currently reading.
Open it up to a random page.
Share two teaser sentences.
Give the name and author of said book.
And remember No Spoilers!

I am still reading The Two Pearls of Wisdom but I got a bit distracted because of all the awesome egalleys I got last week but I do intend to get back to it soon. So seeing as I gave you a teaser from that one last week I will give you a teaser from something else I am reading and that would be You Against Me by Jenny Downham author of the excellent Before I Die.

"She felt as if she'd been running up stairs, or as if she had suddenly become asthmatic. It was one thing listening to other people talk, but she didn't want to go into details herself."

Page 88.

If someone hurts your sister and you're any kind of man, you seek revenge, right? If your brother's been accused of a terrible crime and you're the main witness, then you banish all doubt and defend him. Isn't that what families do? When Mikey's sister claims a boy assaulted her at a party, his world of work and girls begins to fall apart. When Ellie's brother is charged with the crime, but says he didn't do it, her world of revision, exams and fitting in at a new school begins to unravel. When Mikey and Ellie meet, two worlds collide. Brave and unflinching, this is a novel of extraordinary skillfulness and almost unbearable tension. It's a book about loyalty and the choices that come with it. But above all it's a book about love - for one's family and for another.


Side Note: I just passed my Driving Theory Test!!! Yay me - just the practical to go now.


That's all for now.
