The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau
Hardcover, 336 pages
Expected publication: June 4th 2013 by Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
Synopsis:
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Isn’t that what they say? But how close is too close when they may be one in the same?
The Seven Stages War left much of the planet a charred wasteland. The future belongs to the next generation’s chosen few who must rebuild it. But to enter this elite group, candidates must first pass The Testing—their one chance at a college education and a rewarding career.
Cia Vale is honored to be chosen as a Testing candidate; eager to prove her worthiness as a University student and future leader of the United Commonwealth. But on the eve of her departure, her father’s advice hints at a darker side to her upcoming studies--trust no one.
But surely she can trust Tomas, her handsome childhood friend who offers an alliance? Tomas, who seems to care more about her with the passing of every grueling (and deadly) day of the Testing. To survive, Cia must choose: love without truth or life without trust.

Why I am Waiting:
I love dystopians and this one sounds completely awesome. I love stories with interesting premises and this one definitely has one. It reminds me of Divergent and I really loved that one. Can not wait for this one to come out so I can read it.
Let me know in the comments if you are excited for this one as well.
Link me up to your WoW picks in the comments this week.

and
Happy Reading. =]

I'm am exicted for this one, too. I got invited to read it on NetGalley, but couldn't send it to my Kindle, so I'm going to read it once it's been released. The premise does sound awesome! Great pick!
