Waiting on Wednesday (97)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

DITCHED by Robin Mellom

[images taken from author's blog!]

High school senior Justina Griffith was never the girl who dreamed of going to prom. Designer dresses and strappy heels? Not her thing. So she never expected her best friend, Ian Clark, to ask her.

Ian, who always passed her the baseball bat handle first.
Ian, who knew exactly when she needed red licorice.
Ian, who promised her the most amazing night at prom.
And then ditched her.

Now, as the sun rises over her small town, and with only the help of some opinionated ladies at the 7-Eleven, Justina must piece together – stain by stain on her thrift-store dress – exactly how she ended up dateless. A three-legged Chihuahua was involved. Along with a demolition derby-ready Cadillac. And there was that incident at the tattoo parlor. Plus the flying leap from Brian Sontag’s moving car…

But to get the whole story, Justina will have to face the boy who ditched her. And discover if losing out at prom can ultimately lead to true love.


So, so pretty! And sounds so fun! I need a fun-sweet read right about now, shame I have to wait so long!

  6. This sounds ridiculously good! Just added it to my goodreads to-reads list :D I have to admit that until the 'And then ditched her.' line, I was swooning all over Ian. Ah how quickly I forgot the title of a book when faced with a 'sweet' boy ;)

  18. This sounds like a really cute, fun book! After reading a lot of darker paranormal and dystopian fiction, it's always nice and refreshing to pick up something a little on the lighter side ;)
