Originally coming from the Breaking The Spine blog, Waiting on Wednesday allows me to talk about a book I just can’t wait to get my hands on !
Don’t forget to tell me about the book you’re eager to read, this week, in comments!
Expected publication : January 5th 2016
Publisher : St Martin’s Griffin
Seventeen-year-old Mercedes Ayres has an open-door policy when it comes to her bedroom, but only if the guy fulfills a specific criteria: he has to be a virgin. Mercedes lets the boys get their awkward, fumbling first times over with, and all she asks in return is that they give their girlfriends the perfect first time- the kind Mercedes never had herself.
Keeping what goes on in her bedroom a secret has been easy- so far. Her absentee mother isn’t home nearly enough to know about Mercedes’ extracurricular activities, and her uber-religious best friend, Angela, won’t even say the word “sex” until she gets married. But Mercedes doesn’t bank on Angela’s boyfriend finding out about her services and wanting a turn- or on Zach, who likes her for who she is instead of what she can do in bed.
When Mercedes’ perfect system falls apart, she has to find a way to salvage her reputation and figure out where her heart really belongs in the process. Funny, smart, and true-to-life, FIRSTS is a one-of-a-kind young adult novel about growing up.
I first stumbled upon this book on NetGalley, and, damn, am I thankful for that. This coming of age story really intrigued me, for its strange, yet very intriguing synopsis, and one main character I can’t wait to meet and to try to figure out.
Would you like to read Firsts? Why, or why not? Share your thoughts in comments! 🙂
Ooh this seems like something I’d like! Adding to my TBR. 🙂 Great pick!
Oh thank you so much Analee! It really seems like a great story! 😀
This definitely sounds interesting, not your norm coming of age novel, a little scandalous perhaps 😉 anyways, nice post, will be adding this to my TBR 🙂
Exactly! It definitely seems different, that’s why I’m intrigued about it. Thank you so much for stopping by! 😀
I got the egalley of this the other day, can’t wait to read it! Great pick.

Thank you so much! You’re lucky, I hope you’ll enjoy it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Wow, this book sounds so good! ? It’s sounds like a fun read. The idea of sex being portrayed in this novel makes me a little iffy but we shall see! ?
I felt the same way, at first, but I’m intrigued to see how that turns out in the story! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by, Josie! <3
MARIE, YOU ARE FOREVER ON POINT. I am one of those bloggers that participated in the #FAC16 chats so that is how I found out about this. I think this will demolish slut shaming, and I don’t expect to be disappointed.
AW thank you so much Wesaun!! <3 I didn't know about this chat, I really should try to participate in more of those! 🙂 I hope it will be good, yay!! 😀
Thank you for stopping by! 😀
