This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Lily Bennett is less than thrilled to be the new kid as she starts her junior year in high school.
But soon after classes begin, she meets a classmate, Cole Drepeau, with whom she forms an immediate and intimate bond. As Cole and Lily grow closer, Lily learns about the murder that divided the town more than thirty years before. In 1985, graduating senior Amber Greeley snapped, killing her boyfriend Ben—Cole’s uncle—and taking her own life.
Lily feels inexplicably linked to Amber, and she can’t help but think that there’s more to the girl’s story. Determined to investigate the truth about Cole’s uncle’s death, Lily and Cole are pulled into a dark mystery—one that shakes the constraints of the world they’ve always believed in.
Masterfully told by best-selling author Victoria Laurie, this novel alternates voices between Lily and Amber, a generation apart, as decades of dark family secrets and treacherous betrayals are woven into the most epic of love stories.

Why I’m Waiting: Y’all know I love a good romance. And y’all know I love a good mystery. And the fact that this one is a couple years old makes this one a lot more interesting. Also, I love that this one is in the past but not specifically historical fiction. (I was born in 1988 so I refuse to believe 1985 is a long time ago lmao) And the voices go from Amber to Lily, so I can’t wait to see what things Lily sees during her parts, like tape players or something.
Will you be waiting on this with me?
What are you waiting on this week?!
This one is new to me but it definitely sounds interesting. I also love a good mystery, especially one that is either unsolved or undersolved in the past. May have to add this to the TBR. Great pick!
