"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Explanation for Everything

"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:

 The Explanation for Everything
By Lauren Grodstein

Publication Date: September 3

 From Amazon:

 There is nothing inherently threatening about Melissa, a young evangelist hoping to write the definitive paper on intelligent design. But when she implores Andy Waite, a biology professor and a hardcore evolutionist, to direct her independent study, she becomes the catalyst for the collapsing house of cards surrounding him. As he works with Melissa, Andy finds that everything about his world is starting to add up differently. Suddenly there is the possibility of faith. But with it come responsibility and guilt—the very things that Andy has sidestepped for years.
What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    That actually sounds like a really good book. Mine is for a fantasy YA novel that is loosely based on Beauty and the Beast, called Cruel Beauty. The cover is gorgeous too!
