Waiting on Wednesday is a meme created by Breaking the Spine where each week we discuss upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Unclaimed Baggage by Jen Doll
Doris–a lone liberal in a conservative small town–has mostly kept to herself since the terrible waterslide incident a few years ago. Nell had to leave behind her best friends, perfect life, and too-good-to-be-true boyfriend in Chicago to move to Alabama. Grant was the star quarterback and epitome of “Mr. Popular” whose drinking problem has all but destroyed his life. What do these three have in common? A summer job working in a store called Unclaimed Baggage cataloging and selling other people’s lost luggage. Together they find that through friendship, they can unpack some of their own emotional baggage and move on into the future.
Okay, I can’t deal with this premise since it sounds so adorable and fun and quirky and cool. We have emotionally intriguing and likeable characters. We have something called a waterslide incident??? And Unclaimed Baggage sounds like an amazingggggggggg store. I’m so so so into this, and the cover even looks so much fun. I’m not used to adorable goodness coming in August, but I’m so down for adding this in ASAP.
How do you discover such fun books that I’ve never heard of?! Plus the cover is amazing so I’ll have to check it out 🙂

I am not even going to pretend. I wanted to read this book, because the cover is adorable. BUT, reading the synopsis solidified my desire. I like the idea that we can move forward, even if we made mistakes in the past.
