The Waiting Room
The Waiting Room: A Novel | Laura Markovitch
2 posts | 1 read
The Waiting Room is an adult-YA crossover about a woman coming of age in high school, college, and young adulthood, then coming of age again at thirty, when hitting rock bottom prompts her to revisit the choices that shaped her life.Taylor Collier has never faced her past-the distant past or the recent past. As a result, she's spiraled into a life fueled by alcohol and drugs. After her worried mother and best friend confront her, Taylor is given a choice-rehab or therapy. And so, intent on only a single session with Dr. Modos Marks, she enters his waiting room, planning to get in and get out. After all, she has successfully kept her most terrifying secret for fifteen years, so getting through one session with a shrink should be a piece of cake. But she's not prepared for what the doctor has in store for her. Session after session, he peels away the layers of her life, revealing that all is not as it seems-and unraveling a series of surprises that will leave both Taylor and the reader breathless.

CONTENT. WARNINGS.

Please, can authors or publishers start using them? Trust me, it won't ruin the book if you don't set off someone's PTSD with your book.

TheAromaofBooks I've often thought this. Like... we do it for movies?? It doesn't have to be spoilery to just say that a book has explicit sex or violence or whatever. Clean Teen Publishing has the right concept, I think. They rate their books in various categories not for the sake of censorship, but just so readers can make informed decisions about what they're reading. 5y
jessinikkip @TheAromaofBooks Exactly like a movie warning is what i was thinking. Read one book wjere the author started the blurb with "Recommended for adult level readers due to alcohol and sexually violent scenes". See, now I know what to expect without ruining it. ? 5y

"Eenie, meanie, miney, mo, should I stay or should I go?"

I love seeing all these great first lines! A lot of times whether i read a book is based on what it's about and the first couple sentences.
