Teaser Tuesday (1)

Teaser Tuesday is a book meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The rules of the game are simple:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share 2 teaser sentences from that page, but careful not to include any spoilers! We don't want to ruin it for people who haven't read yet!
4. Make sure you list the title and author so others can add it to their "to-be-read" lists!

This week's Teaser Tuesday come from "Shine" by Lauren Myracle:

"Uh huh, I thought. It's all fun and games till someone gets a gas pump nozzle jammed down their throat."
pg. 131



Synopsis from Goodreads:

When her best guy friend falls victim to a vicious hate crime, sixteen-year-old Cat sets out to discover who in her small town did it. Richly atmospheric, this daring mystery mines the secrets of a tightly knit Southern community and examines the strength of will it takes to go against everyone you know in the name of justice. 

Against a backdrop of poverty, clannishness, drugs, and intolerance, Myracle has crafted a harrowing coming-of-age tale couched in a deeply intelligent mystery. Smart, fearless, and compassionate, this is an unforgettable work from a beloved author.

Book release date: May 1, 2011
