Waiting On Wednesday #78: THE ART OF LAINEY by Paula Stokes (YA)


"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  Breaking the Spine. 


This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and, quite possibly, to make our shelves look all pretty too :)


What I'm waiting on... 

by Paula Stokes
Expected release date: May 20th, 2014
Published by: HarperTeen
Genre: Young Adult - Contemporary
Format: Hardcover, eBook


SUMMARY

Soccer star Lainey Mitchell is used to getting what she wants, and when her boyfriend Jason breaks up with her for no reason, what she wants is to win him back before the start of their senior year. Lainey and her friend Bianca check the interwebz for tips and tricks, but the online dating advice is all pretty lame. 

Then the girls stumble across a copy of The Art of War. Didn't someone once say that love is a battlefield? Jason isn't going to stand a chance once Lainey and Bee go all Zhou Dynasty on him... 

Old school strategy and subterfuge meet modern-day dramarama in the story of a girl who sets out to win at all costs and ends up discovering what's really worth fighting for.





Why I'm waiting for THE ART OF LAINEY...

I love a good teen - high school - drama!
Sounds like a great quick read and I just adore these type of contemporaries! 

Can't wait :)


SO, what are you waiting for???
