"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Starboard Sea

"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 Starboard Sea
By Amber Dermont
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.


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

    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.

    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!

    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:)
