Goodbye, Rebel Blue by Shelley Coriell
Amulet Books
Expected October 1, 2013
Summary from Goodreads:
Rebecca Blue is a rebel with an attitude whose life is changed by a chance encounter with a soon-to-be dead girl. Rebel (as she’s known) decides to complete the dead girl’s bucket list to prove that choice, not chance, controls her fate. In doing so, she unexpectedly opens her mind and heart to a world she once dismissed—a world of friendships, family, and faith. With a shaken sense of self, she must reevaluate her loner philosophy—particularly when she falls for Nate, the golden boy do-gooder who never looks out for himself. Perfect for fans of Jay Asher’s blockbuster hit Thirteen Reasons Why, Coriell’s second novel features her sharp, engaging voice along with realistic drama and unforgettable characters.

Goodbye, Rebel Blue sounds like it is going to be a book with a lot of feels. I love books with a bucket list sort of idea, and this one sounds like it is going to be good! I also like that it says she falls for the “golden boy do-gooder.” I have nothing against all those bad-boys who are in YA books, but it’s nice to see a good boy every once in a while too!! I love the book cover too!
This one looks great. I have seen it a few time, it’s already gaining a fan following.
Happy reading!
