Waiting on Wednesday ... Take Me Home Tonight

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 Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson

Here is the Goodreads synopsis

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone, Morgan Matson.

Two girls. One night. Zero phones.

Kat and Stevie—best friends, theater kids, polar opposites—have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?

Well. Kind of a lot?

They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.

Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship, their choices…and finally discover what they really want for their future.

That is, assuming they can make it to Grand Central before the clock strikes 

I have loved pretty much all of Morgan Matson's previous books and was excited to learn that her next book would be released this year.

It is set in one of my favourite cities and focuses on friendship! The fact that it takes place all in one night is a fun hook and I cannot wait to see what situations Kat and Stevie find themselves in.

Morgan's books signal the start of summer reading season for me so I am excited that this one comes out in early May so that tradition can continue.

Expected release date - May 4, 2021
