"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted
over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly
anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
Publication
Date: January 30, 2018
Hardcover, 400 pages, Harlequin Teen
Genres:
YA, Contemporary, Romance
When Drix was convicted of a
crime--one he didn't commit--he thought his life was over. But opportunity came
with the new Second Chance Program, the governor's newest pet project to get
delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated and back into society. Drix knows
this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being
paraded in front of reporters for a while.
Elle knows she lives a life of
privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone.
But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to
handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.
When Drix and Elle meet, their
connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy
Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can
understand Drix's messy life.
But sometimes love can breach all
barriers.
Fighting against a society that
can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves--Drix to
confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence--and
each other to finally get what they deserve.
My Thoughts
I don’t know how to feel about this new book of Katie
McGarry’s. On the one hand, I typically really enjoy her YA contemporary
romances. On the other hand, it’s not about motorcycles; it’s about issues that
I get very heated about. I’ll just have to trust McGarry to keep up her winning
streak.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
I want to read this book too! It's on NetGalley but Harlequin still hasn't approved/declined my request. :/ I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Shell. =)
Check out my WoW post!
Oooo... I forgot that Katie McGarry's books are usually on NetGalley. Hmm... ;)
DeleteI do like the sound of this one. I have only read on McGarry book but really enjoyed it. I need to read more of her work soon.
ReplyDeleteHer books are usually solid 4-star reads for me. Cute, contemporary fun with an edge. :)
