I’ll Meet You There
Author: Heather Demetrios (website | twitter)
Expected publication: February 3, 2015
If seventeen-year-old Skyler Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage-months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she’s ever worked for is on the line.
Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings them together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper.
Gritty, romantic, and ultimately hopeful, I’ll MEET YOU THERE explores the complicated lives of an unforgettable cast of characters. This is the story of teens outside the picket fence. It doesn’t soften the edges of adolescence or the individual consequences of war; it’s life on the fringes—maddening, weirdly endearing…and completely screwed up.
I'm really excited for this one! It just blows that it doesn't come out for quite a while. I love the cover as well!
I love the cover! This sounds like a really awesome read. I'm hoping to check out Something Real soon, definitely heard lots of great things about it. Awesome pick, thanks for sharing!
Here's my WOW at Bookmunchies (:
I love that cover as well. I haven't read her yet but yeah, this sounds something like even if it breaks my heart, I can't help but love it kind of book. Adding this on my TBR list 🙂
My WoW
I absolutely loved Something Real and I have no doubt that Heather Demetrios will continue to show her awesome talent with this new book. It sounds so perfect and raw and emotional. I can tell it's going to be a great book! 🙂
Also, how lucky are you that you got to meet her!

OH MY OH MY OH MY, WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE? (I clearly need to start to follow you on Twitter…)
The synopsis for the books sounds amazing – I am already pretty sure that I will fall desperately in love with Josh. I haven't read Something Real yet, but I have it, and I want to read it NOW!
Thanks for sharing this one!
I love that you have a pick from a convention author! That is so exciting for both of you! I can't wait for BEA or RT next year- don't know which one we'll go to yet- maybe both!
I am so eager to get this book and Exquisite Captive into my grubby little hands. I recently read "Something Real" and am now a Heather Demetrios super-fan. She is simply amazing! This 2015 really appeals to me because as you said it is "the book of her heart". I can't think of anything more appealing than to read a book that means SO much to one of my favorite authors!
PS – that BEA snap of the two of you is freaking adorable!
This sounds really good and I think it will relate to many teens. Thanks for sharing. Here is my Waiting on
Wednesday
The cover is so captivating! I am going to add this to my list. Nice pick! And the BEA pic is so adorable!!
Our WoW!
I want it based on the cover alone. Brilliant! Off to add to my TBR list and add to a library cart for ordering. Thanks for sharing! ~Megan
