"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.
Here are my WoW picks this week (click on the title for the Goodreads page):
by Lauren Gibaldi
Release date: June 16th, 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen
A fun, romantic read, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Susane Colasanti!
Before Matt, Ella had a plan. Get over a no-good ex-boyfriend. Graduate from high school without any more distractions. Move away from Orlando, Florida, where she’s lived her entire life.
But Matt—the cute, shy, bespectacled bass player who just moved to town—was never part of that plan.
And neither was attending a party that was crashed by the cops just minutes after they arrived. Or spending an entire night saying “yes” to every crazy, fun thing they could think of.
Then Matt abruptly left town, and he broke not only Ella’s heart but those of their best friends, too. So when he shows up a year later with a plan of his own—to relive the night that brought them together—Ella isn’t sure whether Matt’s worth a second chance. Or if re-creating the past can help them create a different future.
In alternating then and now chapters, debut author Lauren Gibaldi crafts a charming, romantic story of first loves, lifelong friendships, uncovered secrets, and, ultimately, finding out how to be brave.
Been wanting to read this book since I've seen this last year I think. I want to know why Matt left, what would Ella do. And now that I have an e-arc of this (Thanks Harpercollins!*hugs &kisses*) I really hope that I like this book, but I have a good feeling about this because I read its reviews hehe ;)
Release date: August 4th, 2015
Publisher: Sourcebooks
It’s all Ryden’s fault. If he hadn’t gotten Meg pregnant, she would have never stopped her chemo treatments and would still be alive. Instead, he’s failing fatherhood one dirty diaper at a time. And it’s not like he’s had time to grieve while struggling to care for their infant daughter, start his senior year, and earn the soccer scholarship he needs to go to college.
The one person who makes Ryden feel like his old self is Joni. She’s fun and energetic—and doesn’t know he has a baby. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep his two worlds separate. Finding one of Meg’s journals only stirs up old emotions, and Ryden’s convinced Meg left other notebooks for him to find, some message to help his new life make sense. But how is he going to have a future if he can’t let go of the past?

Browsing GoodReads and voila! Found this book which I really think will release the emotional Mary Ann that's been hiding for months, I want to see her (ME) again. Will count the dates to its release date that's for sure.

These both sound good, but I'm more looking forward to The Night We Said Yes. I just like the idea that this relationship not only impacted the girl Ella, but her friends as well. It sounds like a really great exploration of interpersonal relationships. I can't wait to check it out! Cool picks!!
ReplyDeleteHere's My WoW!
Me too! I can't wait to dive to Ella and Matt's life. Thanks for stopping by Kerry! :)
DeleteThese are two that I'm looking forward to as well, especially What You Left Behind. It sounds like such an interesting but heartbreaking read. I hope you enjoy these when they come out. :)
