Waiting On Wednesday: The Trouble With Destiny

01.07.2015

waiting on wednesday

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where bloggers can showcase books that we are eagerly waiting for.

the trouble with destiny

Blurb:

With her trusty baton and six insanely organized clipboards, drum major Liza Sanders is about to take Destiny by storm—the boat, that is. When Liza discovered that her beloved band was losing funding, she found Destiny, a luxury cruise ship complete with pools, midnight chocolate buffets, and a $25,000 spring break talent show prize. 

Liza can’t imagine senior year without the band, and nothing will distract her from achieving victory. She’s therefore not interested when her old camp crush, Lenny, shows up on board, looking shockingly hipster-hot. And she’s especially not interested in Russ, the probably-as-dumb-as-he-is-cute prankster jock whose ex, Demi, happens be Liza’s ex–best friend and leader of the Athenas, a show choir that’s the band’s greatest competition.

But it’s not going to be smooth sailing. After the Destiny breaks down, all of Liza’s best-laid plans start to go awry. Liza likes to think of herself as an expert at almost everything, but when it comes to love, she’s about to find herself lost at sea.

Why I’m Waiting:

Okay, honestly, the cover.  That is one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever SEEN!  Oh, yes, but for the actual book part… Liza sounds sort of dorky which is cool, and I can relate to it.  There seems to be implications of a love triangle, or a love square?  I’m not sure but it’s obvious that while romance is a part of this book it is not necessarily the main thing.

So…yes!  I’m eagerly awaiting The Trouble with Destiny by Lauren Morril, releasing in 2015.  I haven’t read any of Morril’s other work so maybe I should get to that first…? 🙂
