Summary:
Ben:
Having just graduated from high school, Ben is set to leave Gypsum,
Nevada. It's good timing since the gypsum mine that is the lifeblood of
the area is closing, shutting the whole town down with it. Ben is lucky:
he's headed to San Diego, where he's got a track scholarship at the
University of California. But his best friends, Pete and Hog Boy, don't
have college to look forward to, so to make them happy, Ben goes with
them to check out the hot chick parked on the side of Highway 447.
Lala: She and her Gypsy family earn money by telling fortunes. Some customers choose Tarot cards; others have their palms read. The thousands of people attending the nearby Burning Man festival spend lots of cash--especially as Lala gives uncanny readings. But lately Lala's been questioning whether there might be more to life than her upcoming arranged marriage. And the day she reads Ben's cards is the day that everything changes for her. . . and for him.

Everything about this book sounds cool! And not many YA titles handle gypsies, much less modern gypsies! And The Burning Man Fest. I mean there are bound to be crazy and amazing things happening in this novel!
What are you waiting on this week? I wanna know!

I had never heard of this book until now. It definitely is intriguing. I will have to add it to my TBR pile. I have to admit I have yet to read anything about gypsies. They remind me of Italy, I had an interesting run in with on.

What interests me about this one is that it seems so different. I don't think I've ever read about gypsies before!
