Blog Tour: The Right Kind of Wrong

Please Note: Normally, I am a YA book blog, but today I wanted to mix in some NA! 

The Right Kind of Wrong by Jade Eby
Publication Date: June 27th, 2013
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
Amazon/Goodreads

Nothing stays hidden forever. 

Kara Pierce has held onto the same dream since she was a little girl: to be the next Katie Couric.

Vince Gage, a budding filmmaker whose I-don't-give-a-shit attitude cancels out his charm, almost ruined it for her once, and now he’s back, threatening to do it again.

When the two of them are paired together for a college competition with a $20,000 prize, the only thing they agree on is winning.

They return to Iowa where Kara grew up to research her grandfather's service in World War II, instead they find themselves in the middle of a family scandal kept quiet for far too long.

As Kara and Vince investigate the scandal deeper, they realize the price of uncovering the truth is so much more than they bargained for.

----Excerpt----

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something."
"Anything, dear."
"You know how I always told Grandpa that I'd write about him one day?"
"Of course I do."
"Well, I'm finally going to do it. I'm working on a project for my multi-media class and I've chosen Grandpa and World War II as my topic." 
"That's fantastic! Your grandfather would be so proud."
Proud? No. He would be disappointed it took me this long to do something I've always wanted to do. And at the insistence of some silly boy, too. I take a deep breath. "I'm coming back home to do some research. I need to look through some of Grandpa's old war stuff and I wondered if you'd be up to some interviews."
She coughs in surprise. "You're actually coming home?" My chest constricts so tightly, I wish I could reach inside myself and pull my lungs to safety. !is is why I don't go home. "Yeah, Grandma. I'm coming home."
"Oh Kara, I'm so happy to hear that. I've missed you so much. I didn't..." She stops for a minute. "I didn't think you were ever coming back. Your father even—"
"I miss you, too. We'll be leaving here next week. Okay? We only have a week and a half to get everything done, so I won't have a lot of time to hang out."
"Who is we?"
Oops. "Oh. Well. I kind of have a project partner.
"That's great, honey! I'm excited to meet her."
"It's a guy. His name is Vince."
