Waiting on Wednesday: Stripped by Brooklyn Skye

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



Title: Stripped
Author: Brooklyn Skye
Exp. Pub.: May 14, 2013


College freshman Quinn Montgomery will do anything to avoid the mistake her sister made—killing herself over a boy. But when she is forced into nude modeling at a local college to support her family after a bankruptcy, she begins to crack, just enough to let Torrin, the university’s top varsity oarsman, see that the real Quinn is not as feisty and unapproachable as she wants everyone to think.  But letting someone in comes at a steep cost and, it turns out, Torrin is connected to Quinn’s family in more ways than she could ever imagine.

Why I'm Waiting:  First of all, this sounds like a story that will leave me thinking about it long after I'm finished reading. Secondly, the cover. It seems perfect! Plus anyone who knows me knows about my obsession with owls, and there's an OWL necklace hanging from the hand! How could I not love this cover?! And thirdly, the author's name is adorable. :)

    Hah, I love that one of your reasons is the authors name. Ok and the owl too! Though the book does sound like a good one as well.
