I have had this strange need to read contemporary books for some time now, so I've spent hours and hours looking for new contemporary books which will be published in the near future (I say strange, because I mostly read scifi and fantasy, so I end up quite rarely reading any contemporary books). Books handling the topic of mental health are always tricky, because usually the author completely nails it, or blows it. I've read Unwind by Shusterman before, and even though it didn't end up being my favourite book, it was really entertaining. Hopefully, Challenger Deep will be a good read too, because it sounds unique and fascinating, yet really sad too.
CHALLENGER dEEP LOOKS AMAZING HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

I love the fact so many contemporary YA novels are now about mental health, it's about time that the theme is being handled in other genres besides adult fiction/non-fiction. :) Let's hope that it's as good as it promises! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat pick! I love Neal Shusterman's Unwind series and I can't wait to read this one! His books are so amazing. :D

I've read only the first one, but I remember that the book really disturbed me and evoked some serious emotions! I'm expecting the same with Challenger Deep. :) Thanks for stopping by Krystianna!
