Waiting on Wednesday {25}

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Shut Out
by Kody Keplinger (September 2011)

SHUT OUT is a story about Lissa, a senior in high school, who decides to put an end to a decade old rivalry between her school's football and soccer teams after her quarterback boyfriend ditches her a few too many times on behalf of hazing the other team.

Her plan is to start a sex strike - gathering the girlfriends of all the players of both teams and agreeing that none of them will hookup with their boyfriends until the rivalry is over. What follows is an all out battle of the sexes as the girls begin to explore issues of teen sexuality and the boys attempt to seduce the girls into breaking their oath. Lissa is determined to win, but she never expects the sexual tension that rises between she and Cash Sterling, a member of the soccer team and leader of the boys' side.

Can I just say that I am deliriously excited for this book?!  I love, love, LOVED The Duff!! So anything written by Kody Keplinger is automatically a 5-star read for me (yes - I am that sure of it! lol)  I love that Kody takes on such taboo topics in YA & isn't afraid to publish it!  Her writing style is unique & brilliant.  This story in particular sounds awesome!  Every one go add it to your TBR lists NOW ;-)

What are you "waiting on" this Wednesday?

    I have yet to read The DUFF. I am very behind the times! I should probably get on that!

    Excellent choice, G! I haven't read The DUFF yet (it's in my TBR pile) so I'm a tad behind, but I hear it's good!

    Sounds like a fun book, but not one I will be letting my 12 year old soccer player daughter read for a good while.

    I've not read The DUFF, but this sounds quite interesting, too. I added this one to my TBR list a couple days ago. Good pick!
