Waiting On Wednesday 30


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that highlights an upcoming book release that we are eagerly anticipating.

Stay With Me by Paul Griffin. Released 8th September 2011.

An urban romance that will capture your soul, break your heart, and restore your faith in the human spirit

Fifteen-year-olds Cece and Mack didn't expect to fall in love. She's a sensitive A student; he's a high school dropout. But soon they're spending every moment together, bonding over a rescued dog, telling their secrets, making plans for the future. Everything is perfect. Until. Until. Mack makes a horrible mistake, and in just a few minutes, the future they'd planned becomes impossible. In this stark new reality, both of them must find meaning and hope in the memories of what they had, to survive when the person they love can't stay.

From award-winning writer Paul Griffin, Stay with Me is both heartbreaking and uplifting, filled with characters (both dog and human) that will forever change the way you look at the world.

I love contemporary YA romance and this one sounds perfect - as long as it has a happy ending!

    I hadn't heard of this but it sounds fantastic. It reminds me of books by Jennifer Echols or Simone Elkeles. Great pick!

    I've never heard of this one before, but I like how the title sounds so much like If I Stay, which is on the top of wishlist. Awesome pick, Sally!

    This book was all new to me :) This makes me think about Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles, which I loved so I'm adding this one on my wishlist and hoping for a HEA.

    Aww, this book sounds so cute! I love how the cover actually goes perfectly with the synopsis instead of just looking pretty like many other ones nowadays. I've been looking for another great contemporary read; thank you so much for posting about this (and stopping by my blog!)!

    Sounds really good! I agree with you though, I prefer happy endings. I like that this sounds like more than just a boy-meets-girl story...it sounds like it goes beyond that a bit. Looking forward to it too, now!

    This sounds really adorable, but the "moment" that changes everything has to be intense!
