Waiting on Wednesday- First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine highlighting upcoming books that we are eagerly anticipating.

This week I am featuring First Comes Love, a contemporary YA by Katie Kacvinsky:

And here is the description from Goodreads:

Like his name, Gray is dark and stormy. Dylan, a girl always searching for what’s next, seemingly unable to settle down, is the exact opposite: full of light and life. On the outside, they seem like an unlikely couple. But looks can be deceiving and besides, opposites attract.

What starts as friendship, turns into admiration, respect and caring, until finally these two lone souls find they are truly in love with each other.

But staying in love is not as easy as falling in love. If Dylan and Gray want their love to last, they’re going to have to work at it. And learn that sometimes love means having to say you’re sorry.

I loved Katie Kacvinsky’s dystopian romance debut Awaken and am curious to read her first contemporary book. I like the idea of seeing this relationship develop from the beginning and seeing the couple work through the good and the bad that comes with it. Also, I like that the story is told with alternating POV so we can get in both characters heads. Both characters sound very strong and interesting, with their opposites attract dynamic, and I love their names Gray and Dylan. It sounds like an older / New Adult YA and that aspect appeals to me as well. Can’t wait to read it!

Look for First Comes Love May 8, 2012 coming to you from Houghton Mifflin.

What book are you waiting on this week?

    Thanks for stopping by!

  7. I almost made this one my WoW book this week, and I’ll probably do it soon because this books sounds sooo great. I get the same New Adult vibe from it, and I LOVE that so much. And I love seeing relationships growing slowly and naturally, and it sounds like we get to see that with Gray and Dylan. Can’t wait for this one either!

  8. Great pick, I’m on something of a contemporary kick at the moment so looking forward to this one! Mine is at YA Yeah Yeah if you’d like to take a look.
