Goodreads summary: Three sisters, three extraordinary, life-changing powers! Three sisters share a magical, unshakeable bond in this witty high-concept novel from the critically acclaimed author of Audrey, Wait! Around the time of their parents’ divorce, sisters April, May, and June recover special powers from childhood—powers that come in handy navigating the hell that is high school. Powers that help them cope with the hardest year of their lives. But could they have a greater purpose? April, the oldest and a bit of a worrier, can see the future. Middle-child May can literally disappear. And baby June reads minds—everyone’s but her own. When April gets a vision of disaster, the girls come together to save the day and reconcile their strained family. They realize that no matter what happens, powers or no powers, they’ll always have each other. Because there’s one thing stronger than magic: sisterhood.
How cool does this sound?! I've heard great things about Robin Benway, and even though I haven't yet read Audrey, Wait!, I think I'm going to love her writing and ideas. Plus, this cover alone is worth owning!

Ooh yes, me too me too! I want it! (And you'll love "Audrey, Wait!". It's fantastic.)
I love high-concept...even if this sounds a lot like the tv show Charmed.
I haven't read Audrey, Wait! either, but I'm looking forward to this one too.
I love the cover + description for this one so much.
Wow I want this book *so* much! Audrey, Wait! was brilliant and this just sounds amazing! Gah I've gotta hope I can wait until August- I wonder what the UK cover will look like?
Oh I can't wait to read this. I loved 'Audrey, Wait!' and I love everything about this one: the idea, the title and the cover.
I totally agree the cover is awesome - and the synopsis looks just as good...
Great pick! This one looks amazing. Love the cover! ;D
YES. DEFINITELY. ABSOLUTELY.

Haven't heard of this one yet. Love the cover.
I loved Audrey, Wait! too, and hope that this one is a little bit cleaner language-wise.
Audrey, Wait! was hilarious! I pretty well "LOL-ed" the whole way through it. So clever. I'm definitely looking forward to this one too! Great pick.
I loved Audrey, Wait so really excited about this one:)
I think you'll really like Audrey, Wait! It's one of my favorites. I also cannot wait for this one to come out!
I love the sound of this! Especially the way that the sisters' special talents relate exactly to what the oldest / middle / youngest sister probably would be like. It sounds so clever. Very cool pick.
I saw this on another WoW post recently, and it sounded so good! Can't wait to check this out.
I loooooved Audrey and this is probably like my most anticipated 2010 YA book! CANNOT WAIT!
