“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
My pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” selection this week is:
Second Time Around: A Novel by Beth Kendrick
Publication Date: March 30, 2010
Book Description:
“Every summer, four college friends hold a mini-reunion. They laugh, reminisce, and commiserate about their soul-sucking jobs. Maybe they should have listened to everyone who warned them to study something “practical.”
Then an unexpected windfall arrives—one million dollars, to be exact—with the stipulation that they use it to jump-start their new careers. Almost overnight, a professor, a bartender, a copywriter, and an administrative assistant reinvent themselves as a novelist, an event planner, a pastry chef, and a bed-and-breakfast owner. But the changes in their professional roles create unexpected turbulence in their personal lives, and soon the secrets and scandals from their past start to resurface.
For anyone who has ever wondered “What if?,” this engaging novel provides a sweet, funny look at friendship, romance, and second chances. “
I love Beth Kendrick’s novels and I’m looking forward to her newest release! What is your “Waiting On” pick this week?
This sounds good. I have a group of three close girl friends, so I think this novel would be interesting to read and see ourselves in. My waiting pick is McEwan's Solar: http://bit.ly/c50smm
