WAITING ON WEDNESDAY ~ THIS SIDE OF SALVATION by JERI SMITH-READY



 Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
 
This week's WoW selection is...


 
This Side of SalvationSeries: Stand alone
Category/Genre: Young Adult Realistic Fiction
Publisher: 4/1/14
Publication Date: Simon Pulse
 
 

Everyone mourns differently. When his older brother was killed, David got angry. As in, fist-meets-someone-else’s-face furious. But his parents? They got religious. David’s still figuring out his relationship with a higher power, but there’s one thing he does know for sure: The closer he gets to new-girl Bailey, the better, brighter, happier, more he feels.

Then his parents start cutting all their worldly ties in to prepare for the Rush, the divine moment when the faithful will be whisked off to Heaven…and they want David to do the same. David’s torn. There’s a big difference between living in the moment and giving up his best friend, varsity baseball, and Bailey—especially Bailey—in hope of salvation.

But when he comes home late from prom, and late for the Rush, to find that his parents have vanished, David is in more trouble than he ever could have imagined...
 


Why I'm Waiting ~ I am a HUGE fan of Jeri Smith-Ready. I've read almost all of her books, and have loved every single one. I'm sure this will be another great addition to her works.  



What are you waiting on this week?

  8. wow, this is such a cool cover! I love the words flying off of the word salvation. This is def going on my TBR pile for sure. Not my "maybe" TBR pile (is that only a blogger thing, or just a me thing. I have so many books that I have different TBR piles) but my need to read pile.

    Happy Reading!
