Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. I picked another standalone this week, by another author that I really like. While again it is more of a contemporary read than I normally like, I have read other contemporaries by this same author and enjoyed them. Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Beatrice Maria Estrella Giovannini has life all figured out. She’s starting senior year at the top of her class, she’s a shoo-in for a scholarship to M.I.T., and she’s got a new boyfriend she’s crazy about. The only problem: All through high school Bea and her best friends Spencer and Gabe have been the targets of horrific bullying.
So Bea uses her math skills to come up with The Formula, a 100% mathematically-guaranteed path to social happiness in high school. Now Gabe is on his way to becoming Student Body President, and Spencer is finally getting his art noticed. But when her boyfriend dumps her for Toile, the quirky new girl at school, Bea realizes it’s time to use The Formula for herself. She’ll be reinvented as the eccentric and lovable Trixie—a quintessential manic pixie dream girl—in order to win her boyfriend back and beat new-girl Toile at her own game.
Unfortunately, being a manic pixie dream girl isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and “Trixie” is causing unexpected consequences for her friends. As The Formula begins to break down, can Bea find a way to reclaim her true identity, and fix everything she’s messed up? Or will the casualties of her manic pixie experiment go far deeper than she could possibly imagine?
What do you think, does it sound good? What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?

I like Gretchen McNeil, so I will add it to my TBR list. It sounds a bit lighter than some of her other books. I hope you enjoy it!

Since it's an author I have really enjoyed in the past, I'll be trying it for sure as soon as I get ahold of it. Thanks for returning the stop!
I like the premise of this, but I have a feeling I'd get annoyed with the main character. Still, I'm adding it to my goodreads TBR! 🙂

I hope so as well! Thanks for visiting!
I've been seeing this book around a lot lately! I love contemporary novels, but I felt like this book would get me more frustrated than happy when all the "consequences" started happening. Maybe I'll still pick it up though! Great choice 🙂
Lillie @Little Lillie Reads
