Waiting On Wednesday ... Only Mostly Devastated


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

This week's pick is Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales


Here is the Goodreads synopsis
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets Clueless, inspired by Grease.

When Ollie meets his dream guy, Will, over summer break, he thinks he’s found his Happily Ever After. But once summer’s ended, Will stops texting him back, and Ollie finds himself one prince short of a fairytale ending. To complicate the fairytale further, a family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country—Will’s school—where Ollie finds that the sweet, affectionate and comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, closeted—and, to be honest, a bit of a jerk.

Ollie has no intention of pining after a guy who clearly isn’t ready for a relationship. But as Will starts ‘coincidentally’ popping up in every area of Ollie’s life, from music class to the lunch table, Ollie finds his resolve weakening.

The last time he gave Will his heart, Will handed it back to him trampled and battered. Ollie would have to be an idiot to trust him with it again.

Right?

Right.
The comparisons alone would have me wanting to read this book. I love the inspiration it takes from Grease, and the Clueless call out makes it sound really fun. It sounds like a must read for anyone who loves young adult contemporary novels.

This doesn't come out until 2020 so there is quite a bit of a wait but I highly recommend reading Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda while you wait (if you some how missed it) or rewatching both Grease and Clueless.

Expected release date - March 3, 2020
