Waiting on Wednesday: Harley in the Sky by Akemi Dawn Bowman

Waiting on Wednesday (or Can't Wait Wednesday) is a weekly meme, hosted by Wishful Endings, where we talk about the books we're waiting (a bit impatiently) for!

This week I am waiting for...

Harley in the Sky

Harley Milano has dreamed of being a trapeze artist for as long as she can remember. With parents who run a famous circus in Las Vegas, she spends almost every night in the big top watching their lead aerialist perform, wishing with all her soul that she could be up there herself one day.

After a huge fight with her parents, who continue to insist she go to school instead, Harley leaves home, betrays her family and joins the rival traveling circus Maison du Mystère. There, she is thrust into a world that is both brutal and beautiful, where she learns the value of hard work, passion and collaboration. But at the same time, Harley must come to terms with the truth of her family and her past—and reckon with the sacrifices she made and the people she hurt in order to follow her dreams.
Release Date: March 10th, 2020


Why am I waiting?
I still need to read Summer Blue Bird, but I really liked Starfish. A book featuring a teenage girl who grew up around the circus interests me and I kept finding myself curious to learn more. I will definitely be reading this book come March.
What book are you waiting for this week?

  1. I read Bowman's previous books, and absolutely loved them. I am doing a bit of wait and see with this one, only because it's outside of my normal genre. Still interested though, because I love Bowman
