Waiting on Wednesday
A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that people are eagerly anticipating.
My choice for Waiting on Wednesday this week is:
99 Days
by Katie Cotugno
Publication: April
21st 2015, 384 pages
Day 1
Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything—how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done.
Day 4
A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”
Day 12
Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.

Proof of Forever
by Lexa Hillyer
Publication: June
2nd 2015 by HarperCollins, 352 pages
BEFORE: It was the
perfect summer of first kisses, skinny-dipping, and bonfires by the lake. Joy,
Tali, Luce, and Zoe knew their final summer at Camp Okahatchee would come to an
end, but they swore they’d stay friends.
AFTER: Now, two years later, their bond has faded along with those memories.
THEN: That is, until the fateful flash of a photo booth camera transports the four of them back in time, to the summer they were fifteen—the summer everything changed.
NOW: The girls must recreate the past in order to return to the present. As they live through their second-chance summer, the mystery behind their lost friendship unravels, and a dark secret threatens to tear the girls apart all over again.
ALWAYS: Summers end. But this one will change them forever.
