Welcome! Can't wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa@wishfulendings. This meme is a version of Waiting on Wednesday, which was hosted by Jill@breakingthespine. The purpose of this meme is to highlight a book, usually one that hasn't been released yet, that we're excited about. This week I'm highlighting Zoe Rosenthal Is Not A Lawful Good.

Summary:
A buttoned-up overachiever works overtime to keep her inner
nerd at bay—failing spectacularly—in Nancy Werlin’s hilarious and heartfelt
return to contemporary realistic fiction.
Planning is Zoe Rosenthal’s superpower. She has faith in a
properly organized to-do list and avoids unnecessary risks. Her mental
checklist goes something like this: 1) Meet soulmate: DONE! 2) Make commitment:
DONE! 3) Marriage: TO COME! (after college). She isn’t sure which college yet,
but it will have a strong political science department, since her perfect
boyfriend, Simon, plans to “save the country,” as his sister puts it, “and the
planet and everything.” Zoe will follow along, the perfect serious, supportive
girlfriend. It’s good to have her love life resolved, checked off, done. But
speaking of unnecessary risks, Zoe’s on a plane to Atlanta, sneaking off to
Dragon Con for the second season premiere of Bleeders. The show is subject to
her boyfriend’s lofty scorn, but Zoe is nothing like these colorful hordes
“wearing their inside on their outside.” Once her flirtation with fandom is
over, she will get back to the important business of planning a future with
Simon. The trouble is, right now, Bleeders—and her fellow “Bloodygits”—may just
mean the world to her. Will a single night of nerdery be enough?
Best-selling and award-winning author Nancy Werlin is best
known for science fiction, fantasy, and suspense, but here she turns her pen to
realistic fiction with broad appeal. Confirmed nerds will revel in a diverse
cast, zany fandoms, and cosplaying crowds, but this is for any reader seeking a
smart, breezy coming-of-age story about finding your friends—and your
inconvenient self.
Why: I was drawn to this book by the title. This seems like
a YA cotemporary about a girl who loves fandoms. The story seems cute and I
can’t wait to meet Zoe.
