Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spineand spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week is:
Sometimes hiding the truth requires more than a lie . . .
From the outside, Coley Sterling’s life seems pretty normal . . . whatever that means. It’s not perfect—her best friend is seriously mad at her and her dance team captains keep giving her a hard time—but Coley’s adorable, sweet crush Reece helps distract her from the annoying drama. Plus, she has a great family to fall back on—with a stepdad and mom who would stop at nothing to keep her and her siblings happy and safe.
But Coley has a lot of secrets. She won’t admit—not even to herself—that her almost-perfect life is her own carefully-crafted façade. That for years she’s been burying the shame and guilt over a relationship that crossed the line. Now, Coley and Reece are getting closer, and as Coley has the chance at her first real boyfriend, a decade’s worth of lies are on the verge of unraveling.
Mindi Scott offers an absorbing, layered glimpse into the life of an everygirl living a nightmare that no one would suspect in this unforgettable powerhouse of a novel.
Format: Paperback
Length: 304 pages
Expected publication: October 2nd 2012 by Simon Pulse
I have recently decided that I must add more contemporary to my reading diet and this book
sounds like something I would really like. I love contemporary books that are strong in the emotion
department. Lets face it when you see "powerhouse of a novel" you know it's going to be a strong book!
Well this is what I am Waiting on This Wednesday, what are you waiting on?

I've never actually heard of this book before, but WOW it sounds pretty awesome. This cover is so pretty.

The cover is beautiful, and the book sounds really great. Only at the beginning of this year did I finally read a contemporary. It was The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson, and it hooked me to to the genre. And I am so glad that it did, because I get to read books like these.
