Waiting on Wednesday #7

It’s a year after 9/11. Sniper shootings throughout the D.C. area have everyone on edge, trying to make sense of the random acts of violence. Meanwhile, Craig and Lio are just trying to make sense of their lives.

Craig’s crushing on quiet, distant Lio, and preoccupied with what it meant when Lio kissed him…and if he’ll do it again…and if kissing Lio will help him finally get over his ex-boyfriend, Cody.

Lio feels most alive when he’s with Craig. He forgets about his broken family, his dead brother, and the messed up world. But being with Craig means being vulnerable, and Lio will have to decide whether love is worth the risk.

Summary: (Goodreads)

A powerful debut novel about the gray space between truth and perception.

Quinn’s done the unthinkable: she kissed a guy who is not Carey, her boyfriend. And she got caught. Being branded a cheater would be bad enough, but Quinn is deemed a traitor, and shunned by all of her friends. Because Carey’s not just any guy—he’s serving in Afghanistan and revered by everyone in their small, military town.

Quinn could clear her name, but that would mean revealing secrets that she’s vowed to keep—secrets that aren’t hers to share. And when Carey goes MIA, Quinn must decide how far she’ll go to protect her boyfriend…and her promise.

Why?: Both of these books just sound so good! Gone Gone Gone just fills me with … I don’t know what … a yearning to know what’s going to happen! Not only does this novel sound like it’s going to deal with a contemporary issue, but two? Yeah, I really like the sound of that! And If I Lie just sounds really good and I am really intrigued by what the secrets are, aren’t you? Like ooooh! On the edge of my seat here!! :D Shame I have to wait so long for If I Lie, but I’m sure I can manage it!!
