Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme originally created by Jill @ Breaking The Spine
in which we have the opportunity to spotlight upcoming releases we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pick: UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT
Expected publication date: August 25, 2015
To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer.
Two years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn’t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away.
As West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father—so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else.
West expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief, or at least a flood of emotions he couldn’t control. But he never expected the quiet new girl to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own—or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn’t ever let her go . . .
What do you think? And what are you waiting for?

Seeing a lot of this one! Only read her one Paranormal NA series and liked that! Sad to see she doesn't write paranormal anymore, but oh well! Got plenty to read instead! LOL!

Ooooh, pretty cover. 🙂 Hope you get and enjoy it.
Oh I love that cover. I've not tried her yet but have one of her books.
I haven't tried any of her books yet either, but many friends suggested me to do so and this titles sounds good to me. I'm really tempted to start from this one! 🙂
I haven't read her paranormal series, but it's good to know you enjoyed it so much!
Nice to hear the excitement from a huge Glines' fan!
It sounds really good, right? It piqued my curiosity almost instantly 🙂
Me too!
Thanks, Melissa!
I don't have any of her books, but this will probably be my first try with her works 😉
Everyone is loving thisauthor! it's terrible I need to try!!!
I really have to try her, too!
Oh, this sounds amazing, Silvia! Especially because Maggie hasn't talked in a long time, but she does so when West shares his story with her. Thanks for sharing!
