Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we can't wait to get our hands on.
Here's my selection for this week...
Expected Publication: October 15, 2013
Publisher: Simon Pulse
No one has ever believed that Mo and Annie are just friends. How can a guy and a girl really be best friends?
Then the summer before senior year, Mo’s father loses his job, and by extension his work visa. Instantly, life for Annie and Mo crumbles. Although Mo has lived in America for most of his life, he’ll be forced to move to Jordan. The prospect of leaving his home is devastating, and returning to a world where he no longer belongs terrifies him.
Desperate to save him, Annie proposes they tell a colossal lie—that they are in love. Mo agrees because marrying Annie is the only way he can stay. Annie just wants to keep her best friend, but what happens when it becomes a choice between saving Mo and her own chance at real love?
Oh wow, this story feels like heartbreak on the horizon. I'm really curious to see if these two friends go through with marriage in order to save their friendship. Now that's what I call commitment! I'm looking forward to this story because a YA contemporary that includes friendship, sacrifices and potential love always seems to be the perfect ingredients to captivate me. Truly looking forward to reading The Vow by Jessica Martinez!
Sooo, what book are you waiting on???
Wow this sounds different. I might have to read it when I get a chance. Can't wait to see what you think of it though!

Well that one definitely sounds interesting. Very unique that they actually don't love each other (although, I bet they do at the end!)

I think tissues may be needed for this one. I'll have to check but I'm not sure it is on my to read list. If that's the case that's about to change.

I smell a lot of devastation for this one. I like that. On the other hand, I can't really say it grips me. Maybe I'm just not in the contemporary mood today. Anyway, good pick!
