This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Starboard Sea
Publication Date: February 28
From Library Journal:
A Manhattan penthouse, a flashy prep-school eduction, a summer home in Maine: as his name suggests, Jason Prosper comes from wealth. But he ignores all the fuss and pretension, instead preferring to sail with Cal, his best friend at Kensington Prep. When Cal commits suicide during their junior year, a devastated Jason transfers to another school and launches a gentle romance with Aidan. Then Aidan’s bruised body is discovered on the beach after a terrible storm blows through, and she is ruled a suicide, too. But Jason begins to wonder—could something connect the deaths of two people so close to him?—and he begins contemplating what dark secrets those around him might be hiding.

Cool cover! sounds intense!
Sounds like a dark read.
This sounds excellent. That "Aidan" name really through me off though. I thought she was a boy!
This books sounds sinister - I like that.
This book sounds interesting. A great pick. It is going on to my to-read list :)
There are so many books out with major female protagonists, it's nice to see one that sounds amazing with a male protagonist! I'll be looking for this one.
Wow, sounds interesting! This is definitely going on my TBR shelf. Thank you for the great find!
Hahaha, oh my. I just noticed I didn't put my name and just provided my blog title. Woops.
The book looks interesting! This is my second time joining the Waiting on Wednesday and I always look forward to it! Thank you for this great meme!

This is my first Waiting On Wednesday. I haven't read anything by Amber Dermont before but it looks interesting.
That sounds like a really good book! When I look at the cover, it doesn't seem like a mystery book at all... =)
My first WOW :D
The cover alone makes me want to read this one. It's on my list!
wonderful choice. I like it!
Could jealousy be rearing its head here. Interesting.
Great choice! Sounds like a great read.
Jill, where do you find your books? Because they're always original and completely awesome-sounding! :) I love the synopsis for this one -- part mystery and part romance, it sounds exactly like my kind of book!
Here's my WOW! And you can still enter my 300 Followers Giveaway if you haven't already! :)
I haven't heard about it. The synopsis sounds good though. Thanks for sharing.
Your pick sounds terrific. I love books with school settings for some reason.
All you have to do is set a book at a school and I'm there. This one sounds very interesting. Putting it on my list.
Sounds intriguing. Thanks!
This sounds like a good mystery. Thanks for brining it to my attention.
My WoW!
Sounds mysterious. That would really stink if it happened in real life. Everyone he loves leaves in the worst way possible.
Thanks for sharing!

OK, I'm not really playing along because this isn't a new book. But I'm waiting on my copy of The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones by Greg Kot and Jim DiRogodis (sure I butchered that!) to arrive, and I cannot WAIT to read it!
Oh, this one sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Good pick. Here's my WOW:

Ooh! Your choice for this week sounds so intriguing. Now, I'm actually quite curious myself to know what connects him to two suicides. I think I'm adding this one to my to-read list for when I'm in need of a good suspense story. Thank you for welcoming me wholeheartedly to WoW. I actually look forward to Wednesdays now:)
