Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.
Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:
by Rainbow Rowell

"Bono met his wife in high school," Park says.
"So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
"I’m not kidding," he says.
"You should be," she says, "we’re sixteen."
"What about Romeo and Juliet?"
"Shallow, confused, then dead."
''I love you," Park says.
"Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
"I’m not kidding," he says.
"You should be."
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under

This just sounds so Freaks & Geeks, I can't stand it! I love books and shows like that, focusing on the misfits and the outcasts. It plummets me right back into high school in the best way possible. High school was all about firsts, and being able to read quirky books that remind me of my friends and my experiences is a treasure. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
What book are you waiting for?
I want this one now! It sounds really great. I love reading stories about first love. And it is set in 1986 - can't wait for all of the music and cultural references.
