New Release Tuesday...The Ones I'm Psyched For [24]

The Young World (The Young World Trilogy #1) by Chris Weitz

Summary

After a mysterious Sickness wipes out the rest of the population, the young survivors assemble into tightly run tribes. Jefferson, the reluctant leader of the Washington Square tribe, and Donna, the girl he's secretly in love with, have carved out a precarious existence among the chaos. But when another tribe member discovers a clue that may hold the cure to the Sickness, five teens set out on a life-altering road trip to save humankind.

The tribe exchanges gunfire with enemy gangs, escapes cults and militias, braves the wilds of the subway and Central Park...and discovers truths they could never have imagined.

Like I mentioned in my "Waiting on" Wednesday post for this book, I'm really excited to see how this group of characters develop in post-apocolyptic New York City.

Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid

Summary

Five strangers. Countless adventures. One epic way to get lost. 

Four teens across the country have only one thing in common: a girl named LEILA. She crashes into their lives in her absurdly red car at the moment they need someone the most. 

There's HUDSON, a small-town mechanic who is willing to throw away his dreams for true love. And BREE, a runaway who seizes every Tuesday—and a few stolen goods along the way. ELLIOT believes in happy endings…until his own life goes off-script. And SONIA worries that when she lost her boyfriend, she also lost the ability to love. 

Hudson, Bree, Elliot and Sonia find a friend in Leila. And when Leila leaves them, their lives are forever changed. But it is during Leila's own 4,268-mile journey that she discovers the most important truth— sometimes, what you need most is right where you started. And maybe the only way to find what you're looking for is to get lost along the way.

I only heard about this book recently, but it's been getting a lot of hype on Goodreads so I decided to check it out. From the synopsis it looks like its going to be a fantastic book. I love road trip books because their is always a underlying theme of self-discovery and when done well, can really bring out the best emotions in the reader.
