Waiting on Wednesday (244)


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.

This week I am waiting on: If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say by Leila Sales (5/1/2018):



Description on Goodreads:
This provocative and relevant young adult novel is about Winter, a one-time National Spelling Bee Champ with a bright future ahead of her. That all changes after she haphazardly writes a racially offensive tweet that she thought was a harmless joke. What unfolds is a barrage of Internet shaming and rejection from her community and closest friends. Winter seeks to redeem herself, but first must come to terms with what she wrote and understand why there was so much backlash.
Why I’m Waiting:
First off, this topic for a YA book sounds like gold. There’s so much with the internet that has never come up in YA literature, and it’s about time we started seeing it. I can’t wait to see how this main character handles her mistake. I also love this author. I have high hopes for the one to be a rather powerful book.
What are you waiting on this week?
