Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we share a book that we are eagerly anticipating!
This is my first time participating in Waiting on Wednesday, so I thought I’d share a book I’ve already said I cannot wait to read. I’ve already read and reviewed a 5 chapter sneak peek, and OH MY GOODNESS, I CAN’T WAIT.
Publisher: Dutton (Penguin Group)
Author: Stephanie Perkins
Release date: August 14, 2014
Synopsis from Goodreads:
From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren’t always forever.
Their romantic journey is skillfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new.
Why I can’t wait:
I mean, do I really need to explain this one. I LOVED Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door, and I CANNOT WAIT to have Josh back. I also really like Isla as the narrator so far. Also, Cricket will be back, you guys. He’s one of my absolute favorite book boyfriends, so I’m ready to swoon all over again. Also, Annette from Booknerderie is going to come up so we can go buy the book and read it together. It’s going to be a fangirl party and I’m definitely looking forward to that.
Me to me too!

I cannot wait for Isla! It’s going to be just perfect.
Thanks for stopping by! Heading to check out yours now. I love that blog name!
Ooo, I like this meme! I think I might just go and do this one myself. Thanks for drawing my attention to it!
Yay! You definitely should. I think it’s going to be fun to showcase some of the books I’m looking forward to! 😀
Definitely! Then you can fangirl with other people who are looking forward to the same ones! 🙂 I know exactly which book I’m going to use so I’ll get this done tonight.
Yes, exactly!
Woo! I’m looking forward to it. 🙂
I. CANNOT. WAIT!!!!! I’ve got it in my calendar!!! Also, Cricket is back??? Oh my gosh, I can’t even…..*passes out from fangirling too hard*
YESSS! Just like how Anna and St. Clair were in Isla! Well, Stephanie has said that they won’t have as much of a central role in Isla, but all four of them (Anna, St. Clair, Lola, and Cricket) will make an appearance in Isla!!
Oh. My. Gosh. I can’t wait. Seriously. Cannot wait.
RIIIIGHT?! Cricket is my faves. I would marry him if he were, you know, actually real.
I can’t wait for Isla as well. Great choice for your first WoW 🙂 I actually haven’t read Lola YET. I want to save it for my vacation reading!
I actually liked Lola more than I liked Anna. Personally, I preferred the love interest in Lola (Cricket) more than St. Clair. It’s definitely perfect vacation reading!
Thanks for stopping by, Emily! 🙂
Of course! And I can’t wait to see which guy I like more!!
That release date is far too far away. I can’t wait to re-enter this world. 🙂
It is. I agree. Do you want me to bring my Kindle to Nashville and you can read the first five chapters? 🙂
Ummmm YES. ALSO, it releases one month after the nbhd, so the 14th is just a good day.
Woooo!
Okay. I’ll bring it. 🙂
