Waiting on Wednesday #21



Photobucket





Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
My pick this week is:



Title: One moment
Series:  none
Author: Kristina McBride
Release date: June 26th, 2012

Summary:
This was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie’s life. Now it’s the one she’d do anything to forget.

Maggie Reynolds remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a blowout party the night before. She remembers climbing the trail hand in hand with her perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and meant to reassure her. So why can’t she remember what happened in the moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below—dead?

As Maggie’s memories return in snatches, nothing seems to make sense. Why was Joey acting so strangely at the party? Where did he go after taking her home? And if Joey was keeping these secrets, what else was he hiding?

The latest novel from the author of The Tension of Opposites, One Moment is a mysterious, searing look at how an instant can change everything you believe about the world around you.

Why I want to read it:
Because mysteries are one of my favorite genre! Because I love struggling to remember what has happened. And because it just sounds fabulous. Besides, I already got it from Netgalley and I'm extremely happy about that!!

What are you waiting on this week?

    I am so curious what happened and why Joey jumped and she didn't. Why the heck were they doing that anyway? I do like a good mystery.

    Oh, it sounds good - I love those amnesia-because-something-awful-happened stories. That's just teasing, saying it's at Netgalley. :) I already have a giant TBR pile!
