Waiting On Wednesday (27)

The Redemption of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen
Publisher: Sphere
Publication Date: August 6, 2013


The dark secret Kayden has kept hidden for years is out. Worse, he's facing charges for battery. The only way he stands a chance against the charges is if Callie speaks up, something he'll never ask her to do.

Callie knows Kayden is going back to his dark place and desperately wants to save him. But saving him means admitting her secrets aloud. Callie and Kayden are stronger than they think, especially when they're together. Together they move forward, face their demons, and finally start to heal from their traumatic pasts.

While I didn't exactly fawn over this series in my review of The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden last week, I have to admit that it was an enjoyable romance and a nice light read while I trudge through Single-ville for the time being. And although my TBR pile is ridiculously high, I feel like The Coincidence left Callie and Kayden's story unfinished - and I need some closure. Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine.

Q: School is out! What is your favorite summer reading book?

A: This is actually so funny because I answered this question four years ago, right before my...junior year of high school? (I am constantly and conveniently forgetting how old I am). Anyway, my class was being forced to read The Iliad by Homer, and everyone was totally dreading it - including me.

I'll admit that I prefer filling my summers with fluffy books set on beaches with hot, tanned guys and romantic drama. And yet I poured over that book for hours on end, staying up all night, missing my stop on the train, and becoming completely enamored by this mythical wartime story and, of course, the original love triangle. You can read my review on that here!
How about you guys? Let me know about your posts in the comment section, and I'll do my best to follow back!

Waiting On Wednesday (26)

Tandem by Anna Jarzab
Publisher: Delacorte Books
Publication Date: October 8, 2013


Everything repeats. You. Your best friend. Every person you know. Many worlds. Many lives--infinite possibilities. Welcome to the multiverse.

Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives. Sasha never believed such worlds were real--until now. To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love--one who knows her secret, and one who thinks she's someone she's not.

This one had me at multiple universes because (fun fact) I've been obsessed with parallel worlds since I was a little kid. I just think that there's something so entirely awesome about other realities playing out in space - where your whole life unfurled differently because you caught that morning bus, remembered to lock the door behind you, or had the guts to ask out that really cute guy in your French class. One can dream, no? Anyway, I'm really excited about the concept of this one. Hopefully the content will be just as great! Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine.
