Waited on by: Sam
From the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin comes this illuminating exploration of old friendships, new crushes, and the path to self-discovery.
Courtney "Coop" Cooper Dumped. Again. And normally I wouldn't mind. But right now, my best friend and source of solace, Jupiter Sanchez, is ignoring me to text some girl.
Rae Evelyn Chin I assumed "new girl" would be synonymous with "pariah," but Jupiter and Courtney make me feel like I'm right where I belong. I also want to kiss him. And her. Which is . . . perplexing.
Jupiter Charity-Sanchez The only thing worse than losing the girl you love to a boy is losing her to your boy. That means losing him, too. I have to make a move. . . .
One story. Three sides. No easy answers.
So, Tim Gun pretty much sums up why I want to read this book. It sounds like there is going to be a LOT of delicious drama, and you know, sometimes I like a little drama in my life. I am also drawn to this book, because of the focus on friendship. Yeah, the friendship dynamics sound really complicated, but I am eager to explore these relationships. I see a promise of self-discovery in the synopsis as well, which this girl is a big fan of. It's always such a thrill for me to see someone reach a good place in their life and be at peace with who they are.
What are you waiting on?
Let us know in the comments!
This sounds like a good book. I have heard great things about this authors work.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely looking forward to more from Stone.
DeleteOooh, yes please! I loved Dear Martin and am very excited to read more from Stone.
ReplyDeleteShe definitely has my attention.
DeleteGosh yeah drama, delicious drama in fact! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just like to watch train wrecks.
DeleteThis one is new to me and I haven't read Dear Martin yet though. Plus love anytime Tim Gun can be in a post :)
ReplyDeleteTim Gun is the best. I wish his show would come back, because that is a man, who understands women, and accepts all women. I am obviously a fan of his. 😝
DeleteI will read anything by Nic Stone. This sounds different from Dear Martin, but just as good!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds REALLY different from Dear Martin, but you know, drama and friendship is a vibe I am into.
DeleteBwahahaha Sam fingers crossed that you find your drama ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible that there won't be tons given that description.
DeleteAww this is awesome, Sam! Not a lot of books feature characters who are totally okay with where they are. ♥ And I hope you enjoy all the drama. ;)
ReplyDelete- Aimee @ Aimee, Always
I have little doubt about enjoying this book.
DeleteI still need to read her debut, but I am really curious about this one. I don't mind some drama in books sometimes either. :)

I am sure it won't be all drama, because it sounds like romance and friendship are major elements too.
DeleteI love when friendship dynamics are explored - whether platonic or romantic. Sounds like this will be a good one.
ReplyDeleteA good friendship will always win me over in a book
DeleteI just found out about this one recently, and it sounds QUITE good! I'm here for all the drama tooooooo. Wonderful post, Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been on my radar for quite a while, because Stone's debut was so well received, and this has too many things I love in my books.
DeleteThis one is new to me but I do like the sound of it. I still need to read Dear Martin as well. I hope you enjoy this one, Sam!
ReplyDeleteI have not read Stone's debut (yet), but I have heard great things, and hope to get to it before the end of the year.
DeleteThis sounds really interesting!! I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI think I will.
DeleteIt does sound like this one might have some good drama, with a nice payoff at the end. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the payoff, and I agree, I think it will be well worth any drama incurred.
DeleteYes, I can't wait to see what Nic Stone has in store for us with her sophomore novel.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty confident there will be no sophomore slump
DeleteSuper appropriate gif; I can't wait for this one!!
ReplyDeleteHow did we live without gifs?
DeleteAlways something I look for in my books.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does sound like there is going to be some drama going down here. Especially with the sort of love triangle but sort of not because well, it's already said and done and she has made up her choice. It's more the aftermath of a love triangle really :P
ReplyDeleteI am ok 1.3 with triangles. But am definitely more interested in the friendship dynamics
