WAITING ON WEDNESDAY is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This will be the last Waiting On Wednesday post for this year and maybe forever (for me)!
Life by Committee
Author: Corey Ann Haydu
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Release Date: April 15, 2014
Summary:
Some secrets are too good to keep.
Tabitha might be the only girl in the history of the world who actually gets less popular when she gets hot. But her so-called friends say she’s changed, and they’ve dropped her flat.
Now Tab has no one to tell about the best and worst thing that has ever happened to her: Joe, who spills his most intimate secrets to her in their nightly online chats. Joe, whose touch is so electric, it makes Tab wonder if she could survive an actual kiss. Joe, who has Tabitha brimming with the restless energy of falling in love. Joe, who is someone else’s boyfriend.
Just when Tab is afraid she’ll burst from keeping the secret of Joe inside, she finds Life by Committee. The rules of LBC are simple: tell a secret, receive an assignment. Complete the assignment to keep your secret safe.
Tab likes it that the assignments push her to her limits, empowering her to live boldly and go further than she’d ever go on her own.
But in the name of truth and bravery, how far is too far to go?

This sounds exactly like my type of book (all except for the cheating part of course)!
I love the entire concept of this – it’s definitely unique and never done before! I’m interested in how this will all end.
What book are you looking forward to reading this week?
I loved Corey Ann’s first book and I’m so excited for her follow up novel as well. I’m holding off reading it until it gets closer to the reading date, but I’m already predisposed to like it!

I’ve ever heard of this one, Kelly! I can’t believe it’s a Harper novel – it completely flew under the radar (my radar, anyway). Or maybe I’ve been clueless because of finals weeks. Or maybe I’m just clueless. That must be it. ANYWAY. I hope you read this one! And I hope you love it :)
Check out my WoW post!

I hadn’t heard about this book before, but it sounds very intriguing and has a fairly unique premise.
Great pick!
