Waiting On...
Title: 99 Days
Author: Katie Cotugno
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Publication Date: April 21, 2015
Synopsis:
From the acclaimed author of How to Love comes another stunning contemporary novel, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen.
Molly Barlow is facing one long, hot summer--99 days--with the boy whose heart she broke and the boy she broke it for . . . his brother.
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that's how I know everyone still remembers everything. She has every right to hate me, of course: I broke Patrick Donnelly's heart the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. Now I'm serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college and be done.
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn't finished. I'm expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it's just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. "For what it's worth, Molly Barlow," he says, "I'm really glad you're back."
Day 12: Gabe wouldn't quit till he got me to come to this party, and I'm surprised to find I'm actually having fun. I think he's about to kiss me--and that's when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who's supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who's never going to forgive me.

Why I'm Waiting...
I adored Katie's debut novel, How to Love, and I immediately declared her as one of my favorite authors. This book seems like it will be a cute and quirky contemporary. I really like the synopsis, and I can't wait to see how Molly deals with these two brothers.

ReplyDeleteWhen I finished How to Love, I said that I'd read anything by Katie. I'll probably end up getting this one on release day. lol
