Waiting on Wednesday (14)

Waiting on Wednesday is brought to you by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It highlights the upcoming books we are most anticipating. I've decided to start back up doing these. This week I'm excited about:

Jazz in Love by Neesha Meminger

Publication Date: January 3, 2011
Why I'm So Antsy:


Jasbir, otherwise known as Jazz, has always been a stellar student and obedient, albeit wise-cracking, daughter. Everything has gone along just fine - she has good friends in the "genius" program she's been in since kindergarten, her teachers and principal adore her, and her parents dote on her. But now, in her junior year of high school, her mother hears that Jazz was seen hugging a boy on the street, and goes ballistic. Mom immediately implements the Guided Dating Plan, which includes setting up blind dates with "suitable," pre-screened Indian candidates. There's only one problem: the new boy at school, the very UNsuitable hottie, is the one who gets Jazz's blood boiling. When Jazz makes a few out-of-the-ordinary decisions, everything explodes, and she realizes she'll need a lot more than her genius education to get out of the huge mess she's created. Can Jazz find a way to follow her own heart, and still stay in the good graces of her parents?

I'm so excited for this one! I've heard great things about this author and the summary makes it seem light and cute. Plus the main character is a POC!
