Can’t Wait Wednesday (11/20/24)

Happy Wednesday friends! Is it just me, or has this week felt like it’s a million years long already. I think I’m anticipating next week and the holiday! So all I want to do is get to the pie eating and the cozy long weekend. It’ll be a great time to get some reading done!

**Can’t-Wait Wednesday** is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at **Breaking the Spine**. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more **here**.

My book choice this week has an absolutely stellar cover, and sounds like something that I will enjoy immensely! In fact there’s an entire article with about this upcoming queer novel here and an interview with the lovely Gabriella Gamez. Check it out, and join me in adding this to your TBR. This beauty is out on May 6, 2025.

When a late bloomer goes viral for coming out, she decides to use her newfound fame to get her first kiss—with the help of a sexy bartender.

Librarian Angela Gutierrez has never been kissed. But after posting a video about her late bloomer status and ace identity, she’s finally ready to get some firsts out of the way. Using her new influencer status to come up with a scavenger hunt idea in which the winner earns her first kiss, Angela realizes she may need some help to pull off the event. Enter Krystal Ramirez, hot bartender and Angela’s unrequited crush of five years. Despite vowing that romantic love isn’t for her, Krystal seems awfully determined to help Angela pull off the scavenger hunt and find true love.

There’s just one problem: the connection between Angela and Krystal is getting stronger and stronger the more they hang out, until Angela isn’t sure she wants to go through with the scavenger hunt after all. But Krystal is convinced that she isn’t capable of love and before long, Angela realizes she’s falling head over heels for a woman who may never love her back.
