This week I'm featuring Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid, one of my Christmas gifts. I had heard so many good things about the novel that I decided to look into and so far it is quite good. If you like John Green, you'll probably enjoy Adi Alsaid.
It wasn't the light of the sun that woke him up, but the heat of the starting day and the sweat dripping down his lower back. Hudson opened his eyes in a panic, immediately noticing the absence of stars, the sky bruising with the oncoming sunrise that, under any other circumstances, might have been breathtakingly beautiful.
I've seen this book around, but I haven't read it yet. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's quite good so far! :)
DeleteI actually haven't heard of this one, but that's probably because I don't read a lot of contemporary books. I'll have to look into this one to maybe shake up my reading lineup. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't either, but this one managed to catch my attention. :)
DeleteI haven't heard of this one either but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThanks. You may want to check into it. It's not my usual kind of read, but it's addicting so far!
DeleteA new one for me too. I like the description.

DeleteI really like the writing style in this teaser, it's almost lyrical :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. Alsaid has a very strong voice. :)
DeleteI love the cover of this book, and even though I don't read a lot of contemporary, I would definitely try this one:-)
ReplyDeleteI usually don't either, but it's a really fantastic read.
DeleteI'd like to add this to the tbr. I've heard quite a bit of buzz about it. Looking forward to your review. Thanks for stopping by my Friday memes.
