Waiting on Wednesday #6: The Princesses of Iowa




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

 My pick for this week is:



 What does it mean to do wrong, when no one punishes you? A smart and unflinching look at friendship, the nature of entitlement, and growing up in the heartland.

Paige Sheridan has the perfect life. She's pretty, rich, and popular, and her spot on the homecoming court is practically guaranteed. But when a night of partying ends in an it-could-have-been-so-much worse crash , everything changes. Her best friends start ignoring her, her boyfriend grows cold and distant, and her once-adoring younger sister now views her with contempt. The only bright spot is
her creative writing class, led by a charismatic new teacher who encourages students to be true to themselves. But who is Paige, if not the homecoming princess everyone expects her to be? In this arresting and witty debut, a girl who was once high-school royalty must face a truth that money and status can't fix, and choose between living the privileged life of a princess, or owning up to her mistakes and giving up everything she once held dear.

The premise of this book sounds interesting.  I will pick it up after it comes out on May 8th.


What are you Waiting On this Wednesday?

  3. Sounds kind of like a mix between Laurie Halse Anderson and Sarah Dessen. I might pick this up for a summer read. Thanks for visiting Book Strings!
