My wishlist book this week is:

All the Truth That’s In Me by Julie Berry
(release date September 26, 2013)

From Goodreads:

Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember—even if he doesn’t know it—her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever. This startlingly original novel will shock and disturb you; it will fill you with Judith’s passion and longing; and its mysteries will keep you feverishly turning the pages until the very last.

Why do I want to read this?

I just recently stumbled across a preview for this book, and haven’t been able to stop thinking of it since. It sounds incredibly disturbing, and yet I found the little excerpts I’ve read so far to be beautifully written, with quite a unique style. The synopsis makes me want to know more: What happened to Judith? Why is she being shunned? What really happened to her friend, and what are the secrets of the town? I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy before too long — I want answers!
