Waiting on Wednesday

WOW is hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine
Bittersweet
Sarah Ockler
January 3rd, 2012
Once upon a time, Hudson knew exactly what her future looked like. Then a betrayal changed her life, and knocked her dreams to the ground. Now she’s a girl who doesn’t believe in second chances... a girl who stays under the radar by baking cupcakes at her mom’s diner and obsessing over what might have been. 

So when things start looking up and she has another shot at her dreams, Hudson is equal parts hopeful and terrified. Of course, this is also the moment a cute, sweet guy walks into her life...and starts serving up some seriously mixed signals. She’s got a lot on her plate, and for a girl who’s been burned before, risking it all is easier said than done. 

It’s time for Hudson to ask herself what she really wants, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to get it. Because in a place where opportunities are fleeting, she knows this chance may very well be her last....
I did a WOW post on this before, but that was when it had another title and cover. I'm loving the new cover, and I'm so excited for this one because Sarah Ockler knows how to write a great story!

    I'm a fan of Sarah's, but it's going to take a lot to top Twenty Boy Summer. I LOVE that book.

    Looking forward to reading this one. :)

    I'm not usually big on contemporaries, but this sounds like something I could really relate to. I love the cover, too. Adding it to my TBR list :)

    Ockler definitely has a theme going on with all her book covers, huh. Broken, but fixable. I like that. :)

    This one does sound great! I'll add it to my list.

    Oh, I loved the old cover - maybe it's just the caffeine fiend in me, but I found it really appealing.
