10. You’ve already heard a lot about it, so you’re curious to see what all the buzz is about, but want the chance to go into it with an open mind and have your own experience with it before hearing too many more opinions.
9. Why would you want to wait any longer to get your hands on a copy? I’ve only been talking about my slight obsession with this one since June!
8. You want to dedicate the weekend of October 1st to reading this book (because you won’t be able to put it down once you start).
7. You appreciate complex characters in your books.
6. You’re willing to suspend your disbelief and feed a little dissonance in your mind while you read for a quality reading experience of a mystery/psychological thriller – and you don’t mind a little magical-paranormal and romance thrown in with it.
5. You’re a fan of multi-genre books that keep you on your toes. This one will alternately make you want to rant, rave, yell at, question, shake, and hug the main characters throughout the book.
4. You really want to finally meet Noah Shaw (trust me on this one)!
3. You want to find out who Mara Dyer is, and can get behind an unreliable narrator. Oh, and you appreciate some snark with your main characters.
2. You love reading books that surprise you, make you think, make you smile, make you afraid, make you feel, make you crave more, right?
1. You definitely want to make sure you have this one right away so the shocker of an ending doesn’t get spoiled for you!

I'm dying to fing out "Who is Mara Dyer"!
Great list! Love it!
That is one fantastic list of reasons!!

And just do you know, I think you have an awesome (and sometimes thankless) job. Getting middle schoolers excited about books is one of my fave things to do.
