For Factual Fridays, we want you, dear readers, to ask us questions! They can be ANYTHING. Anything at all. Well no, not really. Ask questions we can answer, please. But they can be silly, or deep, or typical questions like "what is your favourite colour?" To make it worth your while, we'll give you extra points in our upcoming contest! So please, go here and ask us questions!

Wow, we'd better make this contest good. :P
And so, onto Waiting on Wednesday!
Split by Swati Avasthi
Publisher: Knopf BFYRPublishing Date: March 9, 2010

Description:
Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father’s fist), $3.84, and a secret.
He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can’t make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.
At least so far.
Worst of all, Jace realizes that if he really wants to move forward, he may first have to do what scares him most: He may have to go back. First-time novelist Swati Avasthi has created a riveting and remarkably nuanced portrait of what happens after. After you’ve said enough, after you’ve run, after you’ve made the split—how do you begin to live again? Readers won’t be able to put this intense page-turner down.
Now doesn't that sound good? I've read books with abusive parents and in the end, the kid fights back, but never a book where it's after the kid does so! Veeery interesting. Plus, his name is Jace! I've falled in love with that name ever since I read The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare a few years back. :D
