Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place to showcase a book we’re really looking forward to with bated breath! A new release in our favorite series, an exciting new title from a favorite author…
Waiting on Wednesday #59
I found today’s waiting on Wednesday title while I was browsing Netgalley… What We Left Behind by Robin Talley looks so good, and it will be released on October 27th. I really think that books on important subjects like being queer or not being sure is really important. When these books are well done, readers can really walk a mile in the shoes of a character whose life is completely and utterly different from their own life, and that is why this kind of diversity in books is so important!
What We Left Behind follows a teen couple—Gretchen, who identifies as a lesbian, and Toni, who identifies as genderqueer—as they struggle to stay together during their first year in college, despite the growing rift caused by distance and Toni’s shifting gender identity.
Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic Wednesday! Don’t forget to leave me a link in your comment so I can come and check out your Waiting on Wednesday post, too.

Ooh, definitely not a light read, Lexxie. But it does sound very intriguing with it’s complexity. 🙂 **BIG HUGS**
Nope, but it’s still a story I’m really drawn to, Brandee.

Thanks Melissa 🙂
I haven’t seen that one, but it sounds really good. I agree, when a book can make you see different problems and issues from someone else’s point of view, it helps you grow as a person. I love to read books like this just for that reason if nothing else, but this sounds like a good story too! Great find! Thanks for sharing! Here’s my WoW. Happy reading!
It’s one of the many reasons I love to read, too, Kim 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
New to me but sounds good. Hope you get a chance to read it soon,
Yeah, I hope so, too, Brandi 🙂
Oh I love the little blurb – This is new to me but one I will keep my eyes out for – Thanks for sharing!
For the time being, the blurb is very minimalistic, but it still caught my interest, Grace.
