Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you're continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.

Blurb:
A woman is forced to question her own identity in this riveting and emotionally charged thriller by the blockbuster bestselling author of The Good Girl, Mary Kubica
Jessie Sloane is on the path to rebuilding her life after years of caring for her ailing mother. She rents a new apartment and applies for college. But when the college informs her that her social security number has raised a red flag, Jessie discovers a shocking detail that causes her to doubt everything she’s ever known.
Finding herself suddenly at the center of a bizarre mystery, Jessie tumbles down a rabbit hole, which is only exacerbated by grief and a relentless lack of sleep. As days pass and the insomnia worsens, it plays with Jessie’s mind. Her judgment is blurred, her thoughts are hampered by fatigue. Jessie begins to see things until she can no longer tell the difference between what’s real and what she’s only imagined.
Meanwhile, twenty years earlier and two hundred and fifty miles away, another woman’s split-second decision may hold the key to Jessie’s secret past. Has Jessie’s whole life been a lie or have her delusions gotten the best of her?
Why it's my Can't Wait Wednesday:
I love the sound of this Thriller. Is it her mind or is it something else. I was riveted just from the blurb of the book. This one sounds like I would love it. Downfall is that I have to wait till September to read it!
What is your CWW?
Ooh, thats's an interesting concept! Not being who you thought you were!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the sound of it. =)
DeleteThis year has been going so fast that September won't be long in coming for you! A few of my CWW ones are for next year which does feel ages away!
ReplyDeleteYes, that does feel like ages away. I know what you mean. This year is flying by! Summer is almost over. Ugghhh

ReplyDeleteThanks I hope you get a chance to read it!
DeleteI haven't heard of this author, which is why I love this little meme so much because it introduces you to new author's and books that you just have to add to your TBR list and this one is no exception. I love the fact that this is such a trhiller, it looks like it's going to be fantastic and right up my alley. I can't wait to get my hands on this! :)

DeleteOoh I like mysteries like this where the protagonist doubts themself, or not everything is as it appears. Plus I've seen Mary Kubica's books before and thought they sounded great! This looks good.
ReplyDeleteOh cool. I hope you get a chance to read this one!
DeleteLovely horror story. I guess it is enticing. I make this one my cww too
ReplyDeleteI hope it's as good as I think it is.
DeleteI love mysteries but get annoyed by thrillers, so only the first half of the description sounds interesting, I hope it turns out good for you!
