On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.

Title: Playing Hurt Author: Holly Schindler Publication Date: March 8, 2011
From Goodreads:
Star basketball player Chelsea "Nitro" Keyes had the promise of a full ride to college--and everyone's admiration in her hometown. But everything changed senior year, when she took a horrible fall during a game. Now a metal plate holds her together and she feels like a stranger in her own family.

As a graduation present, Chelsea's dad springs for a three-week summer "boot camp" program at a northern Minnesota lake resort. There, she's immediately drawn to her trainer, Clint, a nineteen-year-old ex-hockey player who's haunted by his own traumatic past. As they grow close, Chelsea is torn between her feelings for Clint and her loyalty to her devoted boyfriend back home. Will an unexpected romance just end up causing Chelsea and Clint more pain--or finally heal their heartbreak?
I haven't read this author before, but this book sounds very promising. I'm on a huge YA contemporary kick right now so I'm pretty sure this would be a perfect read for me. Unfortunately though, I'm a poor girl and new books are not going to be coming to my door any time soon unless I can win them. So this will be staying on the wish list for a bit longer. But my birthday is coming up, so maybe I will get some book money soon!
