Publication Expected: July 10th, 2012
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Kendra has always felt overshadowed by her older brother, Grayson, whose OCD forces him to live a life of carefully coordinated routines. The only way Kendra can stand out next to Grayson is to be perfect, and she has perfection down to an art -- until a cheating scandal threatens her flawless reputation.
Behind the wheel of her car, with Grayson asleep beside her, Kendra decides to drive away from it all -- with enough distance, maybe she'll be able to figure everything out. But eventually, Kendra must stop running and come to terms with herself, her brother, and her past.
With undeniable grace and humor, acclaimed author Jennifer Brown explores OCD, the pressure for perfection, and the emotional highs and lows of a complex sibling relationship.
I loved her book Hate List, and I'm a sucker for any book that includes coming to terms with something in the narrator's life. Plus, I don't really know THAT much about OCD, so I feel like this could give a better insight. It just seems like a very interesting book to me.

I love Jennifer Brown. <3
I'm looking forward to this one as well! I haven't read anything about OCD, and I think it'll be cool to learn more about it. Great pick, Jenna! =)
