Waiting on Wednesday #14

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we’re eagerly anticipating.

Lucas and Tessa have always had a close friendship. So it’s no surprise when Lucas finally realizes his true feeling for Tessa and he asks her to Prom. What no one expected, especially Lucas, was for Tessa to come out as a lesbian-or for Tessa’s decision to wear a tuxedo and escort her female crush to Prom, to spark a firestorm of controversy. Humiliated and confused, Lucas must decide if he should stand on the sidelines or if he should stand by his friend to make sure that Tessa Masterson will go to Prom.

‘Tessa Masterson Will Go to Prom‘ has a really cute cover. I love the kind of drawn-on waistcoat/jacket, and the random woman’s arm hints at the LGBT-ness of this book, something which I would love to see more of in YA books. Hence why I’m waiting for it this week! Due to be published in April 🙂

Do you agree? What are you looking forward to this week? Please share your WoW in the comments!
