"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Busted by Gina Ciocca
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Publication Date: January 1, 2018
Summary (from Goodreads):
Marisa wasn’t planning to be a snoop for hire—until she accidentally caught her best friend’s boyfriend making out with another girl. Now her reputation for sniffing out cheaters has spread all over school, and Marisa finds herself the reluctant queen of busting two-timing boys.
But when ex-frenemy Kendall asks her to spy on her boyfriend, TJ, Marisa quickly discovers the girl TJ might be falling for is Marisa herself. And worse yet? The feelings are quickly becoming mutual. Now, she’s stuck spying on a “mystery girl” and the spoken-for guy who just might be the love of her life…
This sounds like it could be cute! Well, the fact that the protagonist is falling for someone else's boyfriend makes me sad (more so the fact that the boyfriend is falling for Marisa?), but I'm curious enough to want to see how things pan out!
Ack! I don't think I'd be down for this kind of relationship drama. Maybe there's not as much as I suspect. Hope you love this, Alyssa! I look forward to your thoughts. :)
ReplyDeleteThe author is trying to convince me that it is not what I think, so I'm going for it!
DeleteI can see why you're curious even with the cheating element there as a possibility.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope there is NO cheating though!
DeleteI read a book a while back with a similar premise, but I did not think it was well executed. Maybe this one will do it right.

Oh that sucks! I hope this author does a good job.
DeleteYeah the cheating thing kind of throws me off a bit, but I can see the author fixing that in a roundabout way! Lol! At least I hope so! Hope you enjoy this one once you read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I don't know if there is *actual* cheating, but we'll see!
DeleteThis is giving sort of Veronica Mars vibes, with added adorable cuteness!
ReplyDeleteOooo, that would be neat!
DeleteI have a thing for sideways covers, don't ask me why! This sounds cute! Thanks for sharing, Alyssa:-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Nothing wrong with that. :D
DeleteThis kinda sounds like a more romantic Veronica Mars story, which I'm all over. The whole potential infidelity angle is a bummer, though.
ReplyDeleteYou know, maybe it's an age thing, but I'm not all that familiar with Veronica Mars! Let's hope there is no cheating. ;)
DeleteI am not usually a fan of cheating but this story sounds like it has an interesting twist. I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteHopefully there isn't any actual cheating!
DeleteMy first time hearing about this one but I definitely need to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW
You should, Aneta!
DeleteI agree with you on the sad part but it does sound so good! Fingers crossed it's a great read.
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Latte Nights Reviews
I am crossing my fingers for sure!
DeleteThis one sounds interesting. I agree I am not sure how I feel when the boyfriend is falling for someone else I want to know how that plays out. I hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! That's the thing I'm worried about. But I'm hoping there is no cheating and maybe things aren't what they seem. Thank you, Kristyn!
DeleteThis does look good, but I agree with you on the romance angle :( That doesn't appeal to me either. But the cover is awesome, and I still think it's the kind of book I'll enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Alyssa, have a lovely rest of the week :)

Amy @ A Magical World Of Words
I'm hoping the author has some tricks up her sleeve, maybe things aren't as they seem! :D
DeleteI saw the reveal last week and I'm super intrigued by that synopsis! Hope it's great!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting but the cheating is a no go for me. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteSAME. I'm hoping there is no cheating in this book, despite what it sounds like!
DeleteThis sounds like an interesting book, although I'm not fond about the protagonist falling for someone else's boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
You and me both!
DeleteA risky choice by the author, considering how so many readers are iffy about infidelity/cheating storylines. But I am kinda curious to see how she'll deal with it!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Right?! Same here, I hate cheating heroes and heroines. We'll see though, maybe there isn't any actual cheating!
DeleteHmm this could be fun?!?
ReplyDeleteMaybe? If there is no cheating!
DeleteThis one sounds intriguing. Thanks for putting it on my radar!
ReplyDeleteoh this is cute! I am adding it to my TBR now I'm getting some Veronica Mars vibes too!
ReplyDeleteLovely pick sweetie. <3 I do like the cover :) But ah.. yeah. Not plot for me at all :( Sounds very triangle like and hurtful like :\ but hope it isn't so, for your sake :D Happy reading. <3
