My Selection for Waiting on Wednesday: Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles

For those of you who don't know, Waiting on Wednesday is a meme started by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. You tell everyone what book you can't wait to read. Add your link and visit sites to see what other books folks are recommending.
The book I can't wait to read is Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles. She's one of my favorite authors. It's a contemporary YA, and will be released  September 1st.  I have no doubt it'll be good. Simone hasn't let me down yet! Here's a little synopsis:

Caleb Becker left Paradise seven months ago. He couldn't stay in a town where his reputation and family life were damaged beyond repair. Maggie Armstrong tried to be strong after Caleb broke her heart and moved away. They both managed to somehow move on. But then his past and her future, throw Caleb and Maggie together again, shattering everything they thought they knew about each other and themselves.

Can't wait and nether should you. Get it. Pre-order it.  Simone Elkeles is an awesome contemporary YA author.

Toodles!

  14. Neat idea for a meme. Books I can't wait to read... that list is longer than my arm! But I am looking forward to Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood.
