#NILtribe
Just popping out of my scotch-soaked creative cave to tell you about a book that I am super pumped for. So Lynne Matson has this book coming out March 4th, and it’s like Survivor plus LOST plus Battle Royale plus Lord of the Flies plus kissing. Here’s the copy from Goodreads:
On the island of Nil, the rules are set. You have one year. Exactly 365 days–to escape, or you die.
Seventeen-year-old Charley doesn’t know the rules. She doesn’t even know where she is. The last thing Charley remembers is blacking out, and when she wakes up, she’s lying naked in an empty rock field.
Lost and alone, Charley hunts for a way out. She discovers desolate beaches and human remains, but no sign of civilization–until she meets Thad, the gorgeous leader of a clan of teenage refugees. Soon Charley learns that leaving the island is harder than she thought . . . and so is falling in love. With Thad’s time running out, Charley realizes that to save their future, Charley must first save him. And on an island rife with hidden dangers, their greatest threat is time.
They can’t stop the clock. They can only hope to beat it.
And, because Lynne knows we’re all dying for this book (and because she’s all industrious and productive while I lay on my floor in sweatpants and gnash my teeth) she has started the Nil Tribe. Here’s the deal from her blog post:
