Waiting on Wednesday: The Bright Effect by Autumn Doughton and Erica Cope

 "Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that you are eagerly anticipating.

Today, I am waiting on:  

The Bright Effect by Autumn Doughton and Erica Cope

From Goodreads:

“Maybe promises are supposed to hurt a little.”

Amelia Bright has lots of plans for the future, and none of them involve falling for a guy like Sebastian Holbrook. With a questionable reputation and an attitude to match, he’s exactly the kind of guy Amelia promised herself she’d avoid. But after an encounter that leaves her charged and breathless, she can’t stop wondering about him and the secrets he keeps hidden behind that tough exterior. 

Sebastian knows first-hand that every single choice has a consequence and how a fragile promise can shape a life. Now that his mother is gone and he’s raising his little brother on his own, he’s all but given up on a future for himself. Struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads, Sebastian doesn’t have time for games or girls. So why can’t he shake thoughts of beautiful, smart Amelia Bright from his mind? 

Equally devastating and heartfelt, Amelia and Sebastian’s story of a rare and unexpected connection is one that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Full of wit and tenderness, The Bright Effect is an unforgettable journey of expectations, regrets and discovering just how far love can carry us in the face of heartbreak.

I think that Autumn Doughton is one of the most underrated self-published authors out there and she is one of my favorite authors for both NA and YA (see here and here).  Earlier this year, I read Steering the Stars, which she also co-authored with Erica Cope and it is one of my favorite books from 2015.  So you know I am so excited for their next collaboration!  The Bright Effect is scheduled for release on November 17, 2015, and I can't wait!
