Waiting on Wednesday: The One and Only Jack Chant

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where the participants tell their readers about an upcoming release they are waiting to read. This week my pick is The One and Only Jack Chant by Rosie Borella.


Sixteen-year-old Amber never expected to find romance while working in an old people's home ... but then Jack Chant is not what she expected either. He's young, exciting and enigmatic - and deeply troubled by something that happened in his past, something he can't quite remember. Gradually Amber suspects that Jack's past might be a whole lot further back in time than he realises. Is he solid flesh and blood, or just some kind of dreamy fantasy?


A sweetly romantic coming-of-age story in which Amber learns more than most teens about getting old, falling in love and letting go.




Why: I think this novel definitely has a lot of potential to explore how teens can sometime perceive things differently depending on the situation. It definitely looks like a promising contemporary novel which I am really looking forward to reading and reviewing.

Released on February 26th 2014
