Waiting On Wednesday #18

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

When I saw this, I knew that I must have this as soon as it’s released. My pick this week:

Title: Romancing the Nerd

Author: Leah Rae Miller

Publisher: Entangled Teen

Publication: February 2nd 2016

Dan Garrett has become exactly what he hates—popular. Until recently, he was just another live-action role-playing (LARP) geek on the lowest run of the social ladder. Cue a massive growth spurt and an uncanny skill at taking three-point shots in basketball and voila…Mr. Popular. It’s definitely weird.

And the biggest drawback? Going from high school zero to basketball hero cost Dan the secret girl-of-his-dorky dreams. A tuba-playing nerd with an eclectic fashion sense, Zelda Potts’s “Coolness” stat is about minus forty-two. Dan turning his back on her and the rest of nerd-dom was brutal enough, but when he humiliates her at school, Zelda decides it’s time for a little revenge—dork style. Nevermind that she used to have a crush on him. Nevermind that her plan could backfire big time. It’s time to roll the dice…and hope like freakin’ hell she doesn’t lose her heart in the process.

Why am I waiting on this? Miller’s first book, The Summer I became a Nerd, was one of my favorite reads of 2013. I can’t wait to read this and see what the “nerd” situation will be like. What book are you waiting on?
