Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
Wednesday is my favorite day of the week because I get to share books that I am super excited about and can't wait to read.
Paperback, 320 pages
Expected publication: April 22nd 2014 by HarperTeen
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Anna Eliot is tired of worrying about what other people think. After all, that was how she lost the only guy she ever really liked, Finn Westbrook.
Now, three years after she broke his heart, the one who got away is back in her life.
All Anna wants is a chance to relive their last kiss again (and again and again). But Finn obviously hasn’t forgotten how she treated him, and he’s made it clear he has no interest in having anything to do with her.
Anna keeps trying to persuade herself that she doesn’t care about Finn either, but even though they’ve both changed since they first met, deep down she knows he’s the guy for her. Now if only she can get him to believe that, too....
With her signature wit and expertly authentic teen voice, Claire LaZebnik (the author of fan favorites Epic Fail and The Trouble with Flirting) once again breathes new life into a perennially popular love story. Fans of Polly Shulman, Maureen Johnson, and, of course, Jane Austen will love this irresistibly funny and romantic tale of first loves and second chances.
Another Jane Austen retelling. This time Persuasion. How could I not want to read this? I mean, HELLO, have you seen the name of my blog? It's a no brainer.
What are you waiting on this week? Be sure to leave me a link so I can check out your WoW.
(On a side note, I am currently reading Another Little Piece of My Heart by Tracey Martin, which is also a Persuasion retelling. It's so cute! It's also sweet and fluffy and super clean.)
Not my kind of read but I still hope you thoroughly enjoy it!

I hope we both enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOooo, very cute! This one was one of the many books that were uploaded to Edelweiss a few nights ago - the Harper explosion lol. I didn't download it, but if it gets good reviews, then I might reconsider! I just have SO MANY BOOKS lol ;)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW post!
They put SO many books up the other day! It was hard to control myself. I find these types of books are usually quick and easy reads, and something light to balance out the heavy hitters. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks cute, but I have to admit that I wasn't crazy about her retelling of P&P. It's hard to get Austen right, in my opinion, but I'll definitely give this one a try. Great pick! It does sound like it's right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Epic Fail yet - but I thought The Trouble With Flirting was pretty cute. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis sounds adorable! I really enjoyed her novel, The Trouble With Flirting, so I'll definitely be reading this one. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteI hope we both enjoy reading it! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI haven't read the original Persuasion, but I guess I'm gonna have to LOL I've got Another Little Piece... from NG, so that would be read :) And The Last Best Kiss is sure to make it to my TBR :) Thanks for sharing and stopping by!
ReplyDeletePersuasion is soo good. You should try it. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteIt looks super cute! I remember Reading Epic Fail and it was really cute, too.
