I'm so excited for this cover reveal, loves. I've been eagerly awaiting 18 Things since interviewing Jamie as part of the Buccaneer Blogfest over the summer. We're getting closer! 18 Things will release from Curiosity Quills Press in the coming months. Woohoo!
In the meantime, I'm loving this cover. The lightning, the storm, the color selection. It's fabulous. The entire cover reminds me of some of the pieces in Jonathon Earl Bowser's Goddess Art collection. And I fully intend to own every one of those some day. Maybe Jamie will let me borrow this cover to hang alongside them.
18 Things Summary:
Can eighteen things save a life? Olga Gay Worontzoff thinks her biggest problems are an awful name (after her grandmothers of course) and not attending prom with Conner, her best friend and secret crush since kindergarten. Then Conner is killed in a freak accident and Olga feels responsible. The sarcastic, nerdy girl who never missed a day of school is suddenly lost and unable to deal with the emotional pain. When she downs an entire bottle of pain pills, her parents force her into counseling. There, her therapist writes a prescription in the form of a life list titled 18 Things. Eighteen quests to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday. Olga enlists the help of her friends and becomes a catalyst for healing in their own lives as they eagerly offer suggestions. Alls she has to do is fire-walk, try out for the cheerleading squad, break a world record, and err . . . go on her first date. Good thing Nate, a new hottie in town, enters her life with perfect timing. He brings the fun factor to her list and helps her discover the beauty and strength inside herself, then complicates things by falling in love with her. Maybe it's time to put into practice the lessons her list has taught her. Just as she's finally embracing the joys of YOLO, her therapist reveals a big secret and Olga's world is shaken. In the past year it took eighteen remarkable things to change a life, but nothing she believed about her mission is true. Now she doesn't just risk losing her true soul-mate forever, she risks losing her very soul. There's only one thing she knows for certain. Her choice will affect their future for all eternity.
