This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Bird in Hand
By Christina Baker Kline
Publication Date: August 11
From Amazon:
"It was an accident. It was dark, it was raining, Alison had only had two drinks. And the other car ran the stop sign. But Alison finds herself trapped under the crushing weight of grief and guilt, feeling increasingly estranged from her husband . . .
Charlie, who has his own burdens. He's in a job he doesn't love so that Alison can stay at home with the kids (and why isn't she more grateful for that?); he has a house in the suburbs and a long commute to and from the city. And the only thing he can focus on these days is his secret, sudden affair with . . .
Claire, Alison's best friend. Bold where Alison is reserved, vibrant where Alison is cautious, Claire has just had her first novel published, a thinly veiled retelling of her childhood in North Carolina. But even in the whirlwind of publication, Claire can't stop wondering if she should leave her husband . . .
Ben, an ambitious architect who is brilliant, kind, and meticulous. And who wants nothing more than a baby, or two—exactly the kind of life that Charlie and Alison seem to have. . . .
Bird in Hand is a searing novel about friendship, love, marriage, loss, and the choices we make that irrevocably alter everything we believe to be true."

And another title goes on my TBR list. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Alas, its another week that I don't have a WoW post. I should be back next week, though. Only two more review books and then I'm attacking my own shelves at a more leisurely pace.
That sounds like it will be a good book. Here's what I'm waiting for:

Interesting choice, I'd never heard of this one before.
Mine is a YA book by a really young writer:

I loved Christina Baker Kline's last book. So excited to discover she has a new book coming out this summer.
So many of the books I am waiting on are the books you have covered in previous Waiting on Wednesdays. I guess we share good taste!
