Waiting On Wednesday (51)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Then You Were Gone Author: Lauren Strasnick Expected Publication Date: January 8, 2013
From Goodreads:
Two years ago, Adrienne’s best friend walked out of her life. One week ago, she left Adrienne a desperate, muffled voicemail. Adrienne never called back.

Now Dakota is missing. She left behind a string of broken hearts, a flurry of rumors, and a suicide note.

Adrienne can’t stop obsessing over what might have happened if she’d answered Dakota’s call. And she’s increasingly convinced that Dakota must still be alive.

Maybe finding and saving Dakota is the only way Adrienne can save herself.

Or maybe it’s too late for them both.
I'll admit it was the cover that first got my attention here. I love it. I also have to admit that I've read one of Strasnick's previous books, Her and Me and You, but was not blown away. I actually didn't like it at all. But I'm hoping that this time around will be different. I'm all for second chances. It is being described as "In the tradition of 13 Reasons Why", which I loved, so I am hopeful. What do you think? Do you give second chances if the first book you read was definitely not for you?
What are you waiting on this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
