Waiting on Wednesday #28
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights books whose
releases we are eagerly awaiting!
by: Cristin Bishara
Expected Publication: Sept. 10, 2013
If Ruby Wright could have her way, her dad would never have met and married her stepmother Willow, her best friend George would be more than a friend, and her mom would still be alive. Ruby knows wishes can't come true; some things just can't be undone. Then she discovers a tree in the middle of an Ohio cornfield with a wormhole to nine alternative realities.
Suddenly, Ruby can access completely different realities, each containing variations of her life—if things had gone differently at key moments. The windshield wiper missing her mother’s throat…her big brother surviving his ill-fated birth…her father never having met Willow. Her ideal world—one with everything and everyone she wants most—could be within reach. But is there such a thing as a perfect world? What is Ruby willing to give up to find out?

Well- this just sounds so cool! I love alternate realities and parallel universes! And I'm always in need of a good sci-fi type read!
What are you guys waiting on this week?

I've only read a couple, but I've really enjoyed the ones I have. I hope this one is just as good! And not too confusing either!
