Hey
everyone and welcome back to my blog! This week I will be
participating in Waiting on Wednesday. WoW is a weekly meme hosted by
Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Every week we showcase upcoming releases that
we are excited about. Tressa @ Wishful Endings has recently taken lead in this meme, considering Jill hasn't been posting on for a while. Learn more here!
This week I chose Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet.
Whether or not you
believe in fate, or luck, or love at first sight, every romance has to
start somewhere. MEET CUTE is an anthology of original short stories
featuring tales of “how they first met” from some of today’s most
popular YA authors.
Readers will experience Nina LaCour's
beautifully written piece about two Bay Area girls meeting via a cranky
customer service Tweet, Sara Shepard's glossy tale about a magazine
intern and a young rock star, Nicola Yoon's imaginative take on
break-ups and make-ups, Katie Cotugno's story of two teens hiding out
from the police at a house party, and Huntley Fitzpatrick's charming
love story that begins over iced teas at a diner. There’s futuristic
flirting from Kass Morgan and Katharine McGee, a riveting transgender
heroine from Meredith Russo, a subway missed connection moment from
Jocelyn Davies, and a girl determined to get out of her small town from
Ibi Zoboi. Jennifer Armentrout writes a sweet story about finding love
from a missing library book, Emery Lord has a heartwarming and funny
tale of two girls stuck in an airport, Dhonielle Clayton takes a
thoughtful, speculate approach to pre-destined love, and Julie Murphy
dreams up a fun twist on reality dating show contestants.
This
incredibly talented group of authors brings us a collection of stories
that are at turns romantic and witty, epic and everyday, heartbreaking
and real.
