Waiting on Wednesday #15: Want to go Private?

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that "spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating."

So this week I'm waiting on...

Want to go Private? by Sarah Darer Littman
(Amazon / Goodreads)

Release date: August 1st 2011

Goodreads description:

When Abby meets Luke online, she can’t believe her luck. He’s nice. He’s funny. He listens to her and he thinks she’s pretty. He even gets jealous of other guys, which is adorable. Without Luke, Abby’s not sure how she’d make it through her first year of high school. Everyone, including her mom and her best friend, Faith, tells Abby that if she just made more of an effort, she’d be having fun instead of dreading each and every day as if it’s a prison sentence. But there’s nothing fun about being the lowest link in the social food chain. Abby knows she’s not supposed to chat with random guys online. But Luke isn’t random, and he isn’t a stranger. Best of all, he really loves her. So what if she never goes out with her friends anymore and her grades are slipping? All she needs is Luke. Luke is her secret, and she’s his — it’s perfect that way. So when Luke suggests that they meet each other in person, Abby agrees. And then she’s gone. Missing. Without a trace. And everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don’t, they’ll never see Abby again.

This one sounds interesting - a mixture of Pretty Little Things by Jillianne Hoffmann and Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott (review), two really good, disturbing books. Plus, this is part of the Contemps challenge, so of course I'm reading it!

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?

  5. I have seen this! It's kind of a throwback to all the news stories I remember seeing when internet chatrooms were a big deal.
