Hi Everyone,
Stopping by with a Waiting on Wednesday book! I was fortunate to get early access to this one.

Summary:
ABOUT OUR LITTLE WORLD
“I was intrigued by Our Little World from the chilling first
paragraph. It’s a coming-of-age novel complicated by a tragic and untimely
death, and it’s also a novel about two sisters you will never forget. I fell in
love with the confidence of the writing and the colorful nostalgia of the
mid-’80s details. Our Little World will transport and transfix you.”—Elin
Hilderbrand
July 1985. It’s a normal, sweltering New Jersey summer for
soon-to-be seventh grader Bee Kocsis. Her thoughts center only on sunny days
spent at Deer Chase Lake, on evenings chasing fireflies around her cul-de-sac
with the neighborhood kids, and on Max, the boy who just moved in across the
street. There’s also the burgeoning worry that she’ll never be as special as
her younger sister, Audrina, who seems to effortlessly dazzle wherever she
goes.
But when Max’s little sister, Sally, goes missing at the
lake, Bee’s long-held illusion of stability is shattered in an instant. As the
families in her close-knit community turn inward, suspicious and protective,
things in Bee’s own home become increasingly strained, most of all with
Audrina, when a shameful secret surfaces. With everything changed, Bee and
Audrina’s already-fraught sisterhood is pushed to the limit as they grow up—and
apart—in the wake of an innocence lost too soon.
Perfect for readers of Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told
You, Our Little World is a powerful and lyrical coming-of-age story that
examines the complicated bond of sisterhood, the corrosive power of envy, and
how the traumas of our youths can shape our identities for a lifetime.
Happy Reading!
