"Waiting On" Wednesday: Save As Draft


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Save As Draft
By Cavanaugh Lee
Publication Date: February 1

From the author:

A broken engagement, a broken heart, and endless drafts of unsent emails. A love triangle unfolding in the electronic age illustrates all that can go wrong (and right) by this new form of miscommunication. Told in “electro-epistolary” form, the novel unfolds entirely through emails and text messages. What do these tools of technology mean for love? What happens when age-old courtship rituals fall prey to the ever-changing sensibilities of how we share not only information, but our own hearts?



What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    This books sounds so good. It reminds me of the Drew Barrymore character in He's Just Not That Into You when she talks about trying to get in touch with a guy, through text, email, phone and MySpace only to be rejected by 5 different modes of communication. Save as Draft will definitely be going on the Wishlist.

    Interesting pick :-) Strangely enough...while your book is made up of e-mails, it sounds like the book I chose this week is made up nearly entirely of Tweets! Umm...snap?

    Interesting concept - Wonder if the text messages will be text speech or actual written messages?

    The heart/apple is cute.
    I haven't heard of this one before - I think iDrakula by Bekka Black was written in this format. I need to put both on my to-read list.

    I'm not crazy about epistolary novels in general. They always seem censored to me. Kind of a form of an unreliable narrator. I mean, a journal is one thing, but I can't see any letter writer not holding something back. It's human nature. We think before we write and that fact is compounded when we know others are going to read what we write.

    @rubylavender. Understand your complaint, but in this epistolary novel you have the benefit of the endless draft emails. Thus, you get the uncensored version of each character's thoughts before you see the censored version that each character sends. That's the theme of the book. It's the best of both worlds, in my opinion.
