Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along, just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
- Be careful not to include spoilers (make sure what you share doesn't give too much away. You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the book info so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR list if they like the teasers.
"But you like him, right?"

"My father once told me that I should let my sisters imagine a better life - a better world. And I told him that there was no such thing." I ran my thumb over his mouth, marveling, and shook my head. "I never understood - because I couldn't...couldn't believe that it was even possible." I swallowed, lowering my hand. "Until now."

Elliot and I don't say anything after that; I just sort of lean forward and slump my chest on his back, my head on his shoulder. This isn't like a love story really, because no one's in love yet, but it is a sad story because maybe we could've been in love if there'd only been more time. I also don't have enough details yet to tell the story and for a character to fall for someone this fast won't seem real or realistic and then Mr. Roush will think I'm still a fake.
Don't Ever Change
by M. Beth Bloom
Expected Publication Date: July 7, 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen
Genre: YA Contemporary

Eva has always wanted to write a modern classic—one that actually appeals to her generation. The only problem is that she has realized she can't "write what she knows" because she hasn't yet begun to live. So before heading off to college, Eva is determined to get a life worth writing about.
Soon Eva's life encounters a few unexpected plot twists. She becomes a counselor at a nearby summer camp—a job she is completely unqualified for. She starts growing apart from her best friends before they've even left for school. And most surprising of all, she begins to fall for the last guy she would have ever imagined. But no matter the roadblocks, or writer's blocks, it is all up to Eva to figure out how she wants this chapter in her story to end.
Perfect for fans of E. Lockhart, David Levithan, and Rainbow Rowell, Don't Ever Change is a witty, snarky, and thought-provoking coming-of-age young adult novel about a teen who sets out to write better fiction and, ultimately, discovers the truth about herself.

I feel crazy. I've gone crazy.
I'm nothing but a bundle of contradictions made electric by feelings too big for my body, for my heart, for my mind.
I want all this to go away.
I want that body to disappear.
Then the slightest bit of movement.
Ruthless
by Carolyn Lee Adams
Expected Publication Date: July 14, 2015
Publisher: Simon Pulse

A spine-tingling debut about the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse in reverse as a teen struggles to retain hope—and her sanity—while on the run from a cunning and determined killer.
Ruth Carver has always competed like her life depends on it. Ambitious. Tough. Maybe even mean. It’s no wonder people call her Ruthless.
When she wakes up with a concussion in the bed of a moving pickup trick, she realizes she has been entered into a contest she can’t afford to lose.
At a remote, rotting cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ruth’s blindfold comes off and she comes face-to-face with her captor. A man who believes his mission is to punish bad girls like Ruth. A man who has done this six times before.
The other girls were never heard from again, but Ruth won’t go down easy. She escapes into the wilderness, but her hunter is close at her heels. That’s when the real battle begins. That’s when Ruth must decides just how far she’ll go in order to survive.
Back home, they called her Ruthless. They had no idea just how right they were.

I wasn't that thrilled with this week's topic as I've only gotten out of my reading rut in May, so you may wonder why all the books I've mentioned on this list have been "recent" books...so that's why. Looking forward to checking out what everyone else's 2015 picks are.
Please make sure you leave your linky on the comments section so I can come for a blog visit and check out your Top Ten list and/or your teasers which I LOVE checking out! Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week...

Some people have to wait their whole lives for great love. Some people find it when they're too young to know what to do with it. I don't know if one is easier than the other, but I do know that whenever you find it, if you have it in you to keep trying, you might actually get a second, and third, and fourth chance to get it right.
