Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve chosen a book by the author of the Monument 14 series that I really enjoyed. This one sounds like a totally opposite type of story, well, no apocalypse, but still sounds really good! Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
*People would kill to be thin.*
Solu’s luxurious celebrity-filled “Cruise to Lose” is billed as “the biggest cruise since the Titanic,” and if the new diet sweetener works as promised—dropping five percent of a person’s body weight in just days—it really could be the answer to the world’s obesity problem. But Laurel is starting to regret accepting her friend Viv’s invitation. She’s already completely embarrassed herself in front of celebrity host, Tom Forelli (otherwise known as the hottest guy ever!) and she’s too seasick to even try the sweetener. And that’s before Viv and all the other passengers start acting really strange.
*But will they die for it, too?*
Tom Forelli knows that he should be grateful for this job and the opportunity to shed his childhood “Baby Tom-Tom” image. His publicists have even set up a ‘romance’ with a sexy reality star. But as things on the ship start to get a bit wild, he finds himself drawn to a different girl. And when his celebrity hosting gig turns into an expose on the shocking side effects of Solu, it’s Laurel that he’s determined to save.
Emmy Laybourne, author of the Monument 14 trilogy, takes readers on a dream vacation that goes first comically, then tragically, then horrifyingly, wrong.
Sounds really good to me!! How about you? Does this one sound good? Do you have a book you’re eagerly awaiting this week?
I have not hear of this one! This looks super unique though and right up my alley. Thanks for introducing me to it!
Glad I brought it to your attention! 🙂

This looks like an interesting book to read, I guess I should add it to my to-be-read list then. Great choice by the way.

I was able to get it, can't wait to read it! Hope you get approved as well. Thanks for stopping by!
This sounds so possible in today's weight aware world. But what is the sweetner making people do? Okay, now I want to read it. I'm going to request it at NetGalley and if not I can wait for a good story. Thanks for sharing this interesting read.
And thanks for visiting Keeper Bookshelf.
Here's mine for this week: http://www.keeperbookshelf.com/waiting-on-wednesday-1
I thought it sounded really realistic as well, one reason I was intrigued, as well as the fact that I like the author's other books. Hope you get it on Netgalley as well! Thanks for visiting!
New to me but sounds good and hope you get a chance to read it soon.
I got it as an egalley, so it's just waiting in the queue until I get to it! Thanks for stopping by!
This book seems to have a lot of potential. In our world of hatred towards everything and everyone different, perhaps it will make a change?
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier! 🙂
It should be an interesting read for that very reason. Thanks for returning the stop!
Interesting synopsis! I would definitely be checking it out ;D

I did get an egalley of it, so just have to wait till I get closer to the publishing date because of other egalleys I have to get through first! Thanks for stopping by!
I've never heard of it but it sounds interesting! Not sure if it's my type of read but I'll see what others think first and maybe borrow from the library 🙂
It sounds really good to me, plus I like the author, and would recommend based on that. Thanks for stopping by!
