Waiting on Wednesday: Like Mandarin by Kirsten Hubbard
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" is:
Like Mandarin by Kirsten Hubbard
Release Date: March 8, 2011
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Age Group: Young Adult
Pages: 320
It's hard finding beauty in the badlands of Washokey , Wyoming
When they're united for a project, they form an unlikely, explosive friendship, packed with nights spent skinny-dipping in the canal, liberating the town's animal-head trophies, and searching for someplace magic. Grace plays along when Mandarin suggests they run away together. Blame it on the crazy-making wildwinds plaguing their badlands town.
Because all too soon, Grace discovers Mandarin's unique beauty hides a girl who's troubled, broken, and even dangerous. And no matter how hard Grace fights to keep the magic, no friendship can withstand betrayal.

Once I found this book whilst browsing goodreads I knew I had to read it, I just love books that deal with friendships, particularly girls who can be so mean and catty to each other and this friendship seems like it will be a really intense and interesting one.
That’s my “waiting on” pick, what's yours this week?
