Can’t-Wait Wednesday: “You Asked for Perfect” by Laura Silverman

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted Tressa at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Hey there! Happy midweek and welcome to another edition of Can’t-Wait Wednesday! Today I’m going to be featuring a book that I wished was published when I was still in school.

Title: You Asked for Perfect
Author: Laura Silverman
Publisher: Sourcebooks/Sourcebooks Fire
Publication Date: March 5, 2019
Pre-order: IndieBound | Book Depository | Barnes and Noble | Amazon

Senior Ariel Stone is the perfect college applicant: first chair violin, dedicated community volunteer, and expected valedictorian. He works hard – really hard – to make his life look effortless. A failed Calculus quiz is not part of that plan. Not when he’s number one. Not when his peers can smell weakness like a freshman’s body spray.

Figuring a few all-nighters will preserve his class rank, Ariel throws himself into studying. His friends will understand if he skips a few plans, and he can sleep when he graduates. Except Ariel’s grade continues to slide. Reluctantly, he gets a tutor. Amir and Ariel have never gotten along, but Amir excels in Calculus, and Ariel is out of options.

Ariel may not like Calc, but he might like Amir. Except adding a new relationship to his long list of commitments may just push him past his limit.

I’m pretty excited to have this book to read ahead of its release. You Asked for Perfect discusses the pressures of academic life – keeping your grades up, gaining the approval and acceptance of your peers – all things most students (former students) struggled with at one point or another. I did, several times, and to see a book tackle this issue means a lot. I wished this book existed when I was a student.

I’m again taking part in a blog tour for this wonderful book courtesy of the lovely gals at The Fantastic Flying Book Club . My stop is on the 16th, but please do check out the blog schedule below and check out the rest of the participating book bloggers.
