| In Honor by Jessi Kirby |
After the death of her enlisted brother, Finn, Honor opens the final letter he ever sent, and finds what appears to be his final request. She decides to take a road trip to California in her brother's memory, and, much to her dismay, is accompanied by Rusty, Finn's arrogant but gorgeous best friend, who insists on coming along for the ride. From Texas to California, the two unlikely companions find themselves making stops along the way, and sharing stories from Finn's life, bonding in the way only grief can bring. What secrets await them in California?
From the author of Moonglass comes another, what I imagine will be, spectacular contemporary young adult novel, that is both humorous and heartbreaking.
What are you eagerly awaiting this week?

Road Trip novels! I really want to read some, seeing as so far I have only read.. one? And that was UF, too, so it doesn't really count, I suppose. XD
