This week, I'm waiting on:
Interference by Kay Honeyman
Release date: September 27, 2016
Friday Night Lights meets Jane Austen's Emma in this wonderful novel about a big election, big games, the big state of Texas, and a little romance.
As a Congressman's daughter in Washington, D.C., Kate Hamilton is good at getting what she wants -- what some people might call "interfering." But when her family moves to West Texas so her dad can run in a special election, Kate encounters some difficulties that test all her political skills. None of her matchmaking efforts go according to plan. Her father's campaign gets off to a rough start. A pro tip for moving to Texas: Don't slam the star quarterback's hand in a door. And whenever Kate messes up, the irritatingly right (and handsome) Hunter Price is there to witness it. But Kate has determination and a good heart, and with all her political savvy -- and a little clever interference -- she'll figure out what it takes to make Red Dirt home.
Terrifically funny and sweetly romantic, with whip-crack dialogue and a wise perspective on growing up, INTERFERENCE is the perfect next read for fans of Jenny Han, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth Eulberg, or Sarah Dessen.
The last book I read that was compared to both Friday Night Lights and Jane Austen was First & Then by Emma Mills which I really liked even though I'm not a football fan. Hopefully Interference will be just as good. It certainly sounds like a fun story!
Oh man! I love the sound of this. Anything compared to FNL is right up my alley. I also really enjoyed First & Then as well. Thanks for sharing this one. I'll be adding it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteOooh this one sounds relly good, I love the american high school type thing (I'm british, it's escapism!)
ReplyDeleteHere's my pick for the week :)
Here is a link to my blogoversary giveaway as well! It ends in two days!
I've never heard of this one before, but I love Friday Night Lights and I also love Jane Austen so I'm very intrigued :)
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, Come to think of it...I can't recall the last book I read with sports. :D My nose is usually buried in some fantasy of sorts. I really like the sound of this one with "whip-crack dialogue." I love a sharp tongue! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me but sounds amazing!
