Title: Side Effects May Vary
Author: Julie Murphy
Release Date: March 18th, 2014
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
What if you’d been living your life as if you were dying—only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs—however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, whom she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that’s as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her arch nemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). But just when Alice’s scores are settled, she goes into remission.

This one sounds like it's going to be SUCH a good contemporary! I have nothing more to say other than I need it ASAP!
What awesome title are you waiting for this Wednesday?
I love emotional contemporary books but I always tend to put them off because I know they will make me cry!
