Me and Tennessee by Sheridan HernandezPublished: Synergy Books (May 3rd 2011)
Every summer, fourteen-year-old Rachel leaves her home in England to stay with her grandparents in Florida. But this year, there's an exciting change when Rachel meets Jed, a brooding, cynical guitar player, and Kyle, an idealistic future soldier. Shy, lonely Rachel blossoms under the attention she receives from the boys, and she finds herself strongly drawn to both. But as the summer unfolds, so does the tension, jealousy, and attraction between them, and conflicts threaten to destroy their friendship. Things become even more complicated when Rachel is assaulted by one of Kyle's friends, spurring an explosive reaction from one of the boys, and consequences none of the three could have foreseen.
Wow, this book looks really good. Extremely gritty but also a great contemporary. If I'm honest, I'm getting quite fed up of reading the same supernatural story over and over again so I'm definitely going over to the contemporary side of things. I actually really like the cover (I like how it's not a girl's face). I like the colours used, the back-drop and the text/ font. Looks good!

Oh, I've never heard of this one before! I love the sound of it, and there's something about the simplicity of the cover that I love, too :)
Great pick!
