"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:
Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles
Release Date: September 1, 2010
Publisher: Flux
Age Group: Young Adult
Pages: 312
Maggie and Caleb just went through the worst year of their lives. Hit by a car and starting life over with a limp, Maggie never thought she would forgive Caleb. But she did-and fell in love. What they shared was real. But Caleb wanted to be free from the past-and a terrible secret: he wasn't the one who hit Maggie. So he left Paradise -and Maggie-forever.
When Maggie and Caleb run into each other in a different town, they can't deny their true feelings. Will Maggie let Caleb get away again? Or will Caleb face the truth and return to Paradise ?
I fell in love with Maggie and Caleb in Leaving Paradise and I have been longing for a continuation of their story since I finished it and I only read it at the start of this year I feel sorry for those who read it when it was first released in April of 2007. Well three years later and my wish has been granted! I have read a couple of early reviews some loved it whilst others were disappointed, I have high expectations for this book but I’m sure Simone will deliver the goods!
What's your "waiting on" pick this week?
Thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteI agree, 2011 is just too far away, it's almost painful!
I haven't read 'Leaving Paradise', would you recommend it? I don't read much contemporary, so I'm a little wary...
I haven't read Leaving Paradise either, but I have heard nothing but good thing a about it. Hope Returning to Paradise is a great sequel.
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is one book that I'm definitely going to read and that cover is simply gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first book either, but this sounds like something I'd like. Will check it out!
ReplyDeleteMy Wow is up on my blog! :)
I loved this book (Caleb = swoon) and also cant wait for the sequel (I've already pre-ordered @ the book depository :)
ReplyDeletebtw, I like your blog :)
Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to wait for books we desire...enjoy the anticipation.

I have wanted to read novels by Simone Elkeles for a long time now! Especially perfect chemistry has catched my attention.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds like a great read as well. :)
I'm happy about this one too. I love Simone Elkeles, she's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I didn't know this book was a continuation of Leaving Paradise. I'm going to have to read that one first before I can even think of reading this one-- and the first one is already on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my WoW + blog. :)
I love Simone Elkeles and the Perfect Chemistry series, but I haven't read this one yet. I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI need to read something by Simone. I think Perfect Chemistry will come first though when I do.
ReplyDeleteYou should look out for TRANCE by Linda Gerber if you like Paranormal novels. :)
Great pick! I loved Perfect Chemistry so I should probably read her other books as well.
