"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
When Travis returns home from a stint in Afghanistan, his parents are splitting up, his brother’s stolen his girlfriend and his car, and he’s haunted by nightmares of his best friend’s death. It’s not until Travis runs into Harper, a girl he’s had a rocky relationship with since middle school, that life actually starts looking up. And as he and Harper see more of each other, he begins to pick his way through the minefield of family problems and post-traumatic stress to the possibility of a life that might resemble normal again. Travis’s dry sense of humor, and incredible sense of honor, make him an irresistible and eminently lovable hero. Goodreads
Why I want to read this book?: I really like the cover. The two people almost in a kiss while she's holding his dog tags and he's holding her hand. I also really like that little blurb too... "War is only half the battle." So true.
This looks like a novel that will really pull on your heart strings. I think that I would really like the characters in this book - who doesn't love a man in a uniform?
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick, and thanks for stopping by my WoW!
Renae @ Rolling with the Moments...
This one does sound good! Super drama filled and sad :-( Can't believe his brother stole his girlfriend while he was away! Stuff like that gets me all emotional in books.
