Jessica's Waiting on:
Title: 180 SecondsAuthor: Jessica Park
Publisher: SkyScape
Publication Date: April 25th, 2017
Summary: After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds. One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. Neither she, nor Esben Baylor, the dreamy social media star seated opposite her, is prepared for the outcome. When time is called, the intensity of the experience overwhelms Allison and Esben in a way that unnerves and electrifies them both. With a push from her oldest friend, Allison embarks on a journey to find out if what she and Esben shared is the real thing—and if she can finally trust in herself, in others, and in love.
The concept of this story is really interesting, especially because I tend to be super shy, the same way this main character seems to be. The idea of an 180-second social experiment is intriguing, and the cover is beautiful, and this seems like a story that I'd definitely be interested in reading!
