Waiting On Wednesday

(I was sans internet yesterday morning and couldn't tell this to post, so here my Waiting On Wednesday for this week, one day late)

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine

If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin

If He Had Been With Me tells the romantic history of a teen girl and her childhood best friend leading up to his tragic car accident in which the passenger seat was occupied by another girl.

I saw this one as someone else's WOW pick a while ago (Alluring Reads, maybe?).

For one, I LOVE the cover -- the combination of the photo and the font are incredibly evocative. Then you add in that book blurb that's shot but absolutely doesn't need to be any longer. Just that one sentence pulls you in.

It's from Sourceboooks Fire (which has been pretty winning, no?) and comes out April 1, 2013.
