Waiting on Wednesday (2)

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


Title: New Girl
Author: Paige Harbison
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Release Date: January 31, 2012

They call me 'New Girl'...


Ever since I arrived at exclusive, prestigious Manderly Academy, that’s who I am. New girl. Unknown. But not unnoticed—because of her.


Becca Normandy—that’s the name on everyone’s lips. The girl whose picture I see everywhere. The girl I can’t compare to. I mean, her going missing is the only reason a spot opened up for me at the academy. And everyone stares at me like it’s my fault.


Except for Max Holloway—the boy whose name shouldn’t be spoken. At least, not by me. Everyone thinks of him as Becca’s boyfriend but she’s gone, and here I am, replacing her. I wish it were that easy. Sometimes, when I think of Max, I can imagine how Becca’s life was so much better than mine could ever be.


And maybe she’s still out there, waiting to take it back.


Ever since I saw another blogger's review of this book (I'll post who when I remember who it was), I knew that I was going to have to read it. Rebecca by Daphne du Marier is one of my all-time favorite books, and I am really interested to see how Paige Harbison reinvents it.

The book was released yesterday, but I'm so far behind on reading that it will be at least a month before I can get around to it. Until then, I will anxiously await.
