Waiting on Wednesday #27: Uses for Boys


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

 My pick for this week is:


Uses for Boys
Anna remembers a time before boys, when she was little and everything made sense. When she and her mom were a family, just the two of them against the world. But now her mom is gone most of the time, chasing the next marriage, brining home the next stepfather. Anna is left on her own—until she discovers that she can make boys her family. From Desmond to Joey, Todd to Sam, Anna learns that if you give boys what they want, you can get what you need. But the price is high—the other kids make fun of her; the girls call her a slut. Anna's new friend, Toy, seems to have found a way around the loneliness, but Toy has her own secrets that even Anna can't know.

Then comes Sam. When Anna actually meets a boy who is more than just useful, whose family eats dinner together, laughs, and tells stories, the truth about love becomes clear. And she finally learns how it feels to have something to lose—and something to offer. Real, shocking, uplifting, and stunningly lyrical, Uses for Boys is a story of breaking down and growing up.---
This sounds like a good story.  I want to see Anna actually falling for a guy for the first time.  I can't wait to get it once it is released on January 15th.


What are you Waiting On this Wednesday?

    This title doesn't sound right! LOL I like the use of the lights on the cover. I need to read more contemporary and this looks like a good one to add.
