Waiting on Wednesday (27)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly Wednesday meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.  Participants highlight an upcoming unpublished novel they're interested in.

Title: Stay With Me
Author: Paul Griffin
Release Date: September 8, 2011
Publisher: Dial

Summary
An urban romance that will capture your soul, break your heart, and restore your faith in the human spirit

Fifteen-year-olds Cece and Mack didn't expect to fall in love. She's a sensitive A student; he's a high school dropout. But soon they're spending every moment together, bonding over a rescued dog, telling their secrets, making plans for the future. Everything is perfect. Until. Until. Mack makes a horrible mistake, and in just a few minutes, the future they'd planned becomes impossible. In this stark new reality, both of them must find meaning and hope in the memories of what they had, to survive when the person they love can't stay.

From award-winning writer Paul Griffin, Stay with Me is both heartbreaking and uplifting, filled with characters (both dog and human) that will forever change the way you look at the world
As soon as the cover was released a few weeks ago I was hooked on Stay With Me. I read an ARC review this week and now I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Doesn't it sound amazing?!

Did you do a Waiting on Wednesday this week? Post your link below and I'll check it out!

    Ooo, we love dogs, and this sounds a bit like Perfect Chemistry, which was good. Thanks for the heads-up!

    Great pick! I have this one on my TBR list. It sounds awesome. Plus, can I just say how much I love the cover? It's so different from the typical YA cover.

    Yeah, like the other ones who commented, this one reminds me of PC, which isn't really a bad book to be compared to. :)
