Uncovered (88): Imaginary Girls

Hello and welcome to Uncovered, my weekly cover love post where I wax poetic about a cover I am currently lusting after. Happy Friday, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things after the Thanksgiving break. So I am really glad that it’s Friday and that the weekend is upon us again. I am very close to wrapping up my Christmas shopping, so yay! for that.

This week’s pick Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma, which is a few years old but I snagged a copy recently and was reminded of how much I like the cover. These days there are a lot of underwater covers but, at the time that this came out, there were very few. This cover is a wonderful blend of beautiful and creepy. It’s unclear from this image if the girl is swimming or drowning, adding to the eeriness of the cover. I love the bright colors and how the red really jumps out against the blue. This cover is a knockout. Unfortunately the book had a cover change when it was released in paperback. Why, I am still not sure. The new cover is nice but I much prefer this one.

I hope you enjoyed today’s cover pick. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments below. Thanks and happy Friday!
