Waiting on Wendesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases we can’t wait to read.
This week I am eagerly anticipating:
The One That Got Away by Melissa Pimentel
Publisher: Penguin
Publication Date: August 11th, 2016
Summary:
Ruby and Ethan were perfect for each other. Until the day they suddenly weren’t.
Ten years later, Ruby’s single, having spent the last decade focusing on her demanding career and hectic life in Manhattan. There’s barely time for a trip to England for her little sister’s wedding. And there’s certainly not time to think about seeing Ethan there for the first time in years.
But as the family frantically prepare for the big day, Ruby can’t help but wonder if she made the right choice all those years ago? Because there’s nothing like a wedding for stirring up the past…
Why am I waiting?
When I first read the blurb I couldn’t help but think this would be a perfect romantic movie, if it ever gets to be filmed.
I can’t recall when was the last time I read a book about two old lovers meeting again after more then few years, and to be honest, I kind of feel like I need that kind of story in my life.
That is why I simply can’t wait to read The One That Got Away.
Plus, the cover is just too cute!!

I’m with you on this. I would love to read this story. It’s been a while since I’ve read about two old lovers reconnecting too. And you’re right, it would make the perfect movie. Awesome pick. Hope we enjoy it 🙂
Happy Wednesday!

While this does seem like a story that’s been done a dozen times I just love the simplicity of the love story! It’s sounds both parts heartbreaking and uplifting and I already am rooting for the two to get together after all that time!
