Check out this amazing cover. Crazy Beautiful is a contemporary tale about a boy with hooks for hands and a gorgeous girl who meet on their first day at a new school. A hot romance with with an Edward Scissorhands meets Captain Hook vibe maybe? I can't wait to find out.Here's what Lisa McMann (author of Wake and Fade) had to say:
"Lauren Baratz-Logsted doesn't write icky, gooey love. She writes stark, broken, gorgeous love. When you need a retreat, when you need to feel something, or when you just need a breather from your own freaky life, this is the love story you'll run to. Crazy Beautiful has two hearts, one soul. I can't wait to read it again."
Crazy Beautiful is coming out in September 2009.
UPDATE: Tempting Persephone did some digging and found the publisher's summary so go read it on her blog - it's hot!
And here's an interview Katie of Katie's Bookshelf did with Lauren that tells us a bit more about the book, including that it has a lot in common with the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

IT'S TOO FAR AWAY!!! Sounds amazing though and I really love the cover as well. My first thought was Edward Scissorhands. I'm stoked.

Beautiful cover! And it sounds like it's going to be awesome. hook for hands... how interesting (=
Wow - this looks awesome! And what a gorgeous cover! September? That's far too long to wait (while thinking of an angsty, love-lorn Edward) :P
Umm yup me again - I just re-read my first comment and thought OMG I sound like an obsessed Team Edward groupie :x
Let me emphasize that I meant Edward Scissorhands not the emotional puddle muck that is Edward Cullen.
Oh, this is so on my list now!
It is a totally amazing cover. Although, is that the same smoke that's on the cover of LOOKING FOR ALASKA?
p.s. re: Joanne: I love how we can all speak of Edward Cullen as though he were a personal friend of ours.
OH MY GOD. I heard about this one in one of her recent interviews. I'm totally going to get it for myself for my birthday! That's one hot cover!
Sizzling cover! This sounds like a really good book - I'm curious to see how this romance plays out!

Well I know I'm going to sound weird but hooks for hands? I'm not sure if I'm hooked (pun intended) so I will wait until you review this book!!! I feel like a loser after reading the other comments...I know nothing about this author or this book!! HELP!!
That was the first thing I thought of too..Edward Scissorhands, which I LOVED!
Yeah, that's a cool cover and a cool concept for a story. However, I read Vertigo (I think it's by her as well?), and didn't enjoy it one bit. *sigh* So we'll see! Is this YA or adult?
Amazing cover. I hope I can read this one. It's my cup of tea!!!!
Steph Su - Yep Vertigo (adult) was by her, but this one is YA. Don't know how much of a difference that makes though as I haven't yet read anything by her (though I have Secrets of my Suburban Life which is YA in my TBR pile).
I will be on the lookout for this one. Thanks
I am totally begging some people for this book! Sounds hot!
That's a crazy beautiful cover.
As for Flight of the Conchords, the tickets go on sale Friday so I hope I'm able to get one.
oh wow this sounds amazing! I can't wait until it's released ha! I also thought edward scissorhands, which I love :D
Wow--love Lisa's recommendation. It sounds like an amazing read, and the cover is really cool! I LOVED Angel's Choice, another book by Lauren. :)
LOVE that cover!
What a gorgeous cover and an interesting premise. I cannot wait for this one!
Wow the cover looks absolutely beautiful...September 2009 is too far away! :( Why oh why..
The cover looks great - and I can absolutely be sold on an impulse by a book's cover.
Lauren,
It's absolutely gorgeous! I love the black/white look, the picture, the font, everything!
What a great cover, Lauren! Sounds like a fascinating story, too--looking forward to it!!
Wow, I LOVE this cover and I can't wait to read it. Lauren is such an awesome writer, I know I won't be disappointed.
I'm so honored that Lenore featured my cover here, and that there's so much enthusiasm for it - I hope people like the book!
