"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: Just Like Fate
Author: Cat Patrick & Suzanne Young
Language: English
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Expected Publication: August 27, 2013
Summary:
Caroline is at a crossroads. Her grandmother is sick, maybe dying. Like the rest of her family, Caroline's been at Gram's bedside since her stroke. With the pressure building, all Caroline wants to do is escape--both her family and the reality of Gram's failing health. So when Caroline's best friend offers to take her to a party one fateful Friday night, she must choose: stay by Gram's side, or go to the party and live her life.
The consequence of this one decision will split Caroline's fate into two separate paths--and she's about to live them both.
Friendships are tested and family drama hits an all-new high as Caroline attempts to rebuild old relationships, and even make a few new ones. If she stays, her longtime crush, Joel, might finally notice her, but if she goes, Chris, the charming college boy, might prove to be everything she's ever wanted.
Though there are two distinct ways for her fate to unfold, there is only one happy ending...
Why I am lurking on this: As much as I have something against time travel stuff, so much I love alternate universes. I'm looking forward to this, and although I'm probably gonna wait for the paperback version before I pick it up I still decided I should spotlight this. =)
Love alternate universes! Sliding Doors was such a good movie and it is a great plot to see how one choice can change your whole future.

I also love parallel universe stories, Pivot Point was my first and I liked it so much. I definitely can't wait for this. Great pick!

I'm actually not a fan of 'alternate universes' in fiction or movies, but I've heard great things about this author so I'd love to read some reviews of this. Cool pick!
Ooh nice! Thin I've seen this one somewhere before because the cover rings familiar! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for visiting my WoW!
I enjoyed Sliding Doors, so I have a feeling I'd enjoy a similar story in books form. I'll have to check this out. Great pick!

This is a great pick! I love alternate universe stories, too. I've read one of Patrick's books before, and really liked it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Caro 🙂 I can't find your Swoon 🙁 I have this book from Edelweiss 🙂 I'm waiting to read and review it, when it's closer to the publishing date. I agree that alternate universes are pretty cool 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure about the splitting-universe thing, I might try it though. And I really like the cover. It seems very fitting.
Thanks for dropping by our WoW!
