WAITING ON WEDNESDAY


"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...

Pretty Amy
Amy is fine living in the shadows of beautiful Lila and uber-cool Cassie, because at least she’s somewhat beautiful and uber-cool by association. But when their dates stand them up for prom, and the girls take matters into their own hands—earning them a night in jail outfitted in satin, stilettos, and Spanx—Amy discovers even a prom spent in handcuffs might be better than the humiliating “rehabilitation techniques” now filling up her summer. Worse, with Lila and Cassie parentally banned, Amy feels like she has nothing—like she is nothing.

Navigating unlikely alliances with her new coworker, two very different boys, and possibly even her parents, Amy struggles to decide if it’s worth being a best friend when it makes you a public enemy. Bringing readers along on an often hilarious and heartwarming journey, Amy finds that maybe getting a life only happens once you think your life is over.
~From GoodReads


Why I'm Waiting ~  It's Contemporary YA. Amy seems like a girl most of us can identify with. And, oh yeah, Prom sucks. At least mine did. But seriously, PRETTY AMY seems awesome. Lucky me, I have an ARC coming my way soon!

Expected publication: May 15th 2012 by Entangled Publishing                     

You can preorder PRETTY AMY at:
Barnes & Noble  |  Book Depository  |  Amazon

  4. I know a few people are waiting anxiously for this one! I love her poofy prom dress. I know when I was grad-dress shopping, I tried on one that must have weighed 30 pounds.

  5. I was able to get an ARC of this one the other day too! I can't wait to find time to read it, it looks really good. My prom was around the time when everyone was wearing Jessica McClintock. Yuck, yuck. The dresses are a lot nicer now. lol

    My WoW this week

  12. I'm so envious of you US girls and the ability to get ARCs! Being an European blogger sucks sometimes, heh.

    That being said, I can't wait to read Pretty Amy too! I've developed such a big crush on contemporary YA (if it can be called a crush ;)) recently, I'm sure this book will fit just right in.

    I hope you will enjoy it, I'm looking forward to your review!

  13. my prom was pretty good.. but I went with a guy friend.. while all my other friends were having relationship drama, Jordan and I were tearing up the dance floor just having a good time. That being said... we did end up hooking up at my 20th Birthday party on the bathroom floor at my Best friends house. It was a one time deal.. still friends though. :)

  24. I love your pick, although I can't really relate.. I never had a prom, and my friends.. sure, one was a little prettier, one was a little skinnier, one was that, one was that.. but most of them were also male. XD
