Expected Release: June 2013
Saylor Grayson makes herself sick. Literally.
She ate her first needle when she was seven. Now, at nineteen, she’s been kicked out of college for poisoning herself with laxatives. The shrinks call it Munchausen Syndrome. All Saylor knows is that when she’s ill, her normally distant mother pays attention and the doctors and nurses make her feel special.
Then she meets Drew Dean, the leader of a local support group for those with terminal diseases. When he mistakes her for a new member, Saylor knows she should correct him. But she can’t bring herself to, not after she’s welcomed into a new circle of friends. Friends who, like Drew, all have illnesses ready to claim their independence or their lives
For the first time, Saylor finds out what it feels like to be in love, to have friends who genuinely care about her. But secrets have a way of revealing themselves. What will happen when Saylor’s is out?
Author Bio
A huge fan of spooky stuff and shoes, Adriana Ryan enjoys alternately hitting up the outlet malls and historic graveyards in Charleston, SC where she lives and imbibes coffee. Her husband and two small children seem not to mind when she hastily scribbles novel lines on stray limbs in the absence of notepads.

Oh now this looks like a good read. I love the cover. I have actually had something like this happen to a friend of mine. It was really sad. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really original spin on support groups.
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never seen a book about this topic and it looks so good! Maybe this will help raise awareness and help anyone with similar feelings! Thanks for this great post!
ReplyDeleteSounds a really good book. I'd love to read it, sad but interesting. And I love the cover, the girl in the cover really pretty :)
ReplyDeleteAs horrible as this sounds, this book seems like a bit of fresh air. Not dystopian or mythological, it is a realistic fictional novel that people can relate to. I'm sure it is sad as all get out though. Also, the first thing that popped into my head is the scene from Fight Club where the main character "Jack" (it never really says his name) and Marla meet at the Testicular Cancer Support Group and they visit the different support groups.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great! I mean it sounds like a tough issue but like a really great book! The cover is amazing to!
ReplyDeleteI love when authors take a subject that is extremely tough and touching, and bring it out in the open with their words. I'd love to read this book, the premise sounds sad, but fantastically interesting! I absolutely adore the cover, too! :D
