I know what your thinking. A cover reveal? Sweet! And another giveaway? Ahhhhhh! I love giveaways! Who doesn't? The chance to win free stuff can give some people pretty big highs. Giveaways totally rock.
Usually I have the giveaway fairly close to the top of my post, but since this is a cover reveal as well, the giveaway is going to be near the bottom. Don't let that discourage you, it means there's going to be lots of exciting stuff in front of the giveaway! Namely, the big and exciting cover reveal.
Now what is The Obvious Game? What is it about? Look at the synopsis below:
"Your shirt is yellow."
"Your eyes are blue."
"You have to stop running away from your problems."
"You're too skinny."
Fifteen-year-old Diana Keller accidentally begins teaching The Obvious Game to new kid Jesse on his sixteenth birthday. As their relationship deepens, Diana avoids Jesse's past with her own secrets -- which she'll protect at any cost.
Praise for The Obvious Game:
“I couldn’t put down The
Obvious Game. Arens perfectly captures the hunger, pain and uncertainty of
adolescence.” -- Ann Napolitano, author of A GOOD HARD LOOK and WITHIN ARM'S REACH
"THE OBVIOUS GAME is a
fearless, honest, and intense look into the psychology of anorexia. The
characters—especially Diana--are so natural and emotionally authentic that
you’ll find yourself yelling at the page even as you’re compelled to turn
it." -- Coert Voorhees, author of LUCKY FOOLS and THE BROTHERS TORRES
"Let’s be clear about
one thing: there’s nothing obvious about The Obvious Game. Arens has written a
moving, sometimes heart-breaking story about one girl’s attempt to control the
uncontrollable. You can’t help but relate to Diana and her struggles as you
delve into this gem of a novel." -- Risa Green, author of THE SECRET SOCIETY OF
THE PINK CRYSTAL BALL

I love comments! So don't hesitate to share your thoughts. Leave your blog/website name and link so I can get back to you. And if you're a new follower, tell me. Note that this is an award-free zone. I loved getting awards and I was pleased you guys thought I was special, but I was nominated so many times and it took a lot of time to do the award posts, time that I don't have. So thanks, but no thanks.
Happy reading!
