Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
From Goodreads: Luke is the perfect
boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all
through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up.
But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is
good enough.
Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker
assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's
sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too
smart for Colby.
Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?
Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?
Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

I don't know about you, but if it's by Sarah Dessen, I'm waiting on it!
:D I already have this one on order at my library. You wouldn't believe how popular Sarah Dessen is, she is hardly ever on the shelf!

No, I totally know how popular she is! I never see her on the shelves. I have it pre-ordered from Amazon.
DeleteI've only read one of Dessen's books so far. I'm definitely going to need to read more though!

READ! I DEMAND YOU READ THEM! Haha, but seriously, she is the greatest and she's so nice and funny. And if you need someplace to start, my favorite book of all time is This Lullaby.
