Waiting on Wednesday #10


Is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases were eagerly anticipating.

The book I'm most excited about this week is...

Lovely, Dark and Deep 
 Lovely, Dark and Deep
 by Amy McNamara
 Expected Publication Date:  
 November 13th 2012
 Publisher: Simon and Schuster 
 Children's Publishing
  
Goodreads Description: A resonant debut novel about retreating from the world after losing everything—and the connections that force you to rejoin it.  Since the night of the crash, Wren Wells has been running away. Though she lived through the accident that killed her boyfriend Patrick, the girl she used to be didn’t survive. Instead of heading off to college as planned, Wren retreats to her father’s studio in the far-north woods of Maine. Somewhere she can be alone.

Then she meets Cal Owen. Dealing with his own troubles, Cal’s hiding out too. When the chemistry between them threatens to pull Wren from her hard-won isolation, Wren has to choose: risk opening her broken heart to the world again, or join the ghosts who haunt her.
 
This sounds so intense and dark but with hope at the end of the tunnel.  I'm hoping for a swoony romance too!   Plus, the cover is gorgeous and seems to fit the description perfectly.  I can't wait for November!  

What are you waiting on?  Link us up, we'd love to know.

    The cover is truly exquisite!!! I love the natural weather of snow on the tree with the slight pinkness.
    This book sounds really intense and heartwarming. Hopefully there is a good romance to match with the sorrowfulness.
    wonderful choice Rachel!!! <3

    Wren is the heroine in COld Kiss and reading the name just reminds me how badly I want Glass Heart! Luckily it's almost released. I do think I have room for another Wren in my heart, and this one sounds really intriguing. Great pick and the cover is so amazing.
