Waiting on Wednesday | In Some Other World, Maybe

In Some Other World, Maybe • Shari Goldhagen

 

In December 1992, three groups of teenagers head to the theater to see the movie version of the famed Eons & Empires comic books. For Adam it’s a last ditch effort to connect with something (actually, someone, the girl he’s had a crush on for years) in his sleepy Florida town before he leaves for good. Passionate fan Sharon skips school in Cincinnati so she can fully appreciate the flick without interruption from her vapid almost-friends—a seemingly silly indiscretion with shocking consequences. And in suburban Chicago, Phoebe and Ollie simply want to have a nice first date and maybe fool around in the dark, if everyone they know could just stop getting in the way.Over the next two decades, these unforgettable characters criss-cross the globe, becoming entwined by friendship, sex, ambition, fame and tragedy. A razor-sharp, darkly comic page-turner, In Some Other World, Maybe sheds light on what it means to grow up in modern America.

 

 

 

Getting all GROWN-UP on y’all! I love the sound of this book. I love that it starts with a movie based on comic books, because that appeals to my nerdiness. But I’m also completely intrigued by the span of time IN SOME OTHER WORLD, MAYBE covers. I haven’t even read a single page of this book but I’m already curious about how things turn out for these crazy kids-who-turn-into-adults. BRING IT, SHARI!!

IN SOME OTHER WORLD, MAYBE comes out January 13, 2015 from St. Martin’s Press
