Giveaway: The Secrets We Keep and We All Looked Up

 Since my giveaway for a copy of A Court of Thorns and Roses just ended, it's time to launch a new giveaway! I'm planning on reading both Trisha Leaver's The Secrets We Keep and Tommy Wallach's We All Looked Up very soon, so, admittedly, that is part of the reason that I decided to give them away together. I'm seriously trying to keep the number of arcs leaving my apartment a closer to the number entering. The other reason is because they both include the word 'We' in the title, which, for some reason, intrigues me. Very soon I meet the 'we' in each book. Mysterious!

Check out a bit of info about each book below. Both look great, right? 



The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver
Macmillan / 4.28.15 / More Info
A girl takes over her twin sister's identity in this emotionally charged page-turner about the complicated bond between sisters.

Ella and Maddy Lawton are identical twins. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy's shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy. In fact, she's chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy's world.

When—after a heated argument—Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves her sister dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. Feeling responsible for Maddy's death and everyone's grief, Ella makes a split-second decision to pretend to be Maddy. Soon, Ella realizes that Maddy's life was full of secrets. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options—confess her deception or live her sister's life.
We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
Simon & Schuster / 3.31.15 / More Info
Four high school seniors put their hopes, hearts, and humanity on the line as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth in this contemporary novel.

They always say that high school is the best time of your life.

Peter, the star basketball player at his school, is worried “they” might actually be right. Meanwhile Eliza can’t wait to escape Seattle—and her reputation—and perfect-on-paper Anita wonders if admission to Princeton is worth the price of abandoning her real dreams. Andy, for his part, doesn’t understand all the fuss about college and career—the future can wait.

Or can it? Because it turns out the future is hurtling through space with the potential to wipe out life on Earth. As these four seniors—along with the rest of the planet—wait to see what damage an asteroid will cause, they must abandon all thoughts of the future and decide how they’re going to spend what remains of the present.

 Win It!
