This week I am waiting on
Our Year in Love and Parties by Karen Hattrup

Publication Date: October 8th, 2019

Goodreads Summary
In this poignant, funny, and romantic novel, four nights of epic partying will see two teens through their highest highs and lowest lows over the course of one unforgettable year. Perfect for fans of Gayle Forman and Mary H.K. Choi!

Tucker knows that some relationships take work. With his best friend, Bobby, and his mom, everything is simple, steady. His dad, on the other hand, seems to only show up when he wants to bring Tucker down. Then there’s Erika Green, who comes back into his life, stirring up old feelings. A small part of him knows he shouldn’t get too attached during senior year. But a bigger part doesn’t want her to disappear again.

Erika from before the video loved to shock people. Now, she just wants to hole up in her quiet college life and leave the past where it belongs—in a dumpster fire. But then she reconnects with Tucker Campanelli. Erika can’t explain what it is about him. There’s just this undeniable connection between them, and she really doesn’t want to lose that feeling. Not yet.

While it’s fun to explore epic fantasy realms and magic systems, it’s ultimately the characters that makes us feel connected to those worlds. This is why I love character driven contemporary novels as they explore the messy nature of humanity. This book is a perfect example of a character-driven story, and I can’t wait to meet Erika and Tucker and follow their journey to reconnecting with each other and possibly themselves.
