W.O.W: Falling Into Place

Waiting On Wednesay is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to highlight upcoming releases they are eagerly awaiting.
Here's what I'm anticipating:

Title:  Falling Into Place
Author:  Amy Zhang
Publication Date:  September 9, 2014
Page Count:  304

Summary via Goodreads
On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton’s laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road.

Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang’s haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.


This book just sounds awesome with a capital A!  Granted, science isn't necessarily my thing (especially physics), but this book seems like so much  more than that.  How do our decisions effect those around us?  Such a great question.  This is a book that seems like it could transcend so many boundaries and genres.  I hope it lives up to these beliefs.

What are you excited about reading?

Happy reading!
