Tessa Masterson Will Go to Prom by Brendan Halpin & Emily Franklin
Release date: 27th March 2012
Publisher: Walker Childrens
Buy this book: Amazon UK

Synopsis [Goodreads]

Lucas and Tessa’s friendship is the stuff of legend in their small Midwestern town. So it’s no surprise when Lucas finally realizes his feelings for Tessa are more than friendship and he asks her to prom. What no one expected, especially Lucas, was for Tessa to come out as a lesbian instead of accepting his heartfelt invitation. Humiliated and confused, Lucas also feels betrayed that his best friend kept such an important secret from him.
What’s worse is Tessa’s decision to wear a tastefully tailored tuxedo to escort her female crush, sparking a firestorm of controversy. Lucas must decide if he should stand on the sidelines or if he should stand by his friend to make sure that Tessa Masterson will go to prom.
Emily Franklin and Brendan Halpin tackle both sides of a ripped-from-the headlines story to show that true friendship will triumph after all.

The cover of this book is quirky and fun and stood out to me instantly.  The story seems like the familar 'boy and girl are best friends but can they stay just friends' scenario (I adore these types of stories), but with a twist and I can't wait to find out how the authors depict this situation!

The Selection by Kiera Cass.

Release Date: 7th June 2012.

Publisher: Harper Collins.

Buy this book: Amazon UK

Synopsis [Amazon UK]

Thirty-five beautiful girls. Thirty-five beautiful rivals…

It’s the chance of a lifetime and 17-year-old America Singer should feel lucky. She has been chosen for The Selection, a reality TV lottery in which the special few compete for gorgeous Prince Maxon’s love.

Swept up in a world of elaborate gowns, glittering jewels and decadent feasts, America is living a new and glamorous life. And the prince takes a special interest in her, much to the outrage of the others.

Rivalry within The Selection is fierce and not all of the girls are prepared to play by the rules. But what they don’t know is that America has a secret – one which could throw the whole competition… and change her life forever.

 

The cover is absolutely gorgeous.  It caught my eye instantly.  The dress and its colour is beautiful.  The font and crown of the tile adds that extra amazing finishing touch to the cover.

There's only one question I'm going to ask just now and that's 'What's her secret!?' I can't wait to find out!

'Waiting on' Wednesday [WoW] is a weekly meme hosted by The Breaking Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that the particular blogger is eagerly anticipating.  I will be doing the same each week.

My first WoW selection is:

Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Release Date: 2nd February 2012
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Synopsis [Amazon UK]

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld...this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists. Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen. As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's...

On the cover alone, wow.  I've seen this cover on quite a few other bloggers' websites now and everytime I can't help but be excited and as I said that's on the cover alone, it's gorgeous!

Upon reading the synopsis, I am further intrigued about what exactly this underworld named Everneath is all about! Luckily I don't have that long to wait until its release.
