Waiting in the Wings by Melissa Brayden
4.0

Waiting in the Wings is just wow! I enjoyed this novel so much! Although you can tell this was Melissa Brayden's debut novel, it was still expertly written! I have read literally hundreds of books, many by good authors, but Melissa's writing in her debut novel was easily better than three-quarters of them! I loved the characters of Jenna and Adrienne. However, it was clear that Melissa tried to make them as human as possible, and at times it worked and at others, I was sitting, thinking "you are allowed to be angry!". The love story between Jenna and Adrienne was just darling! The way they came to love each other and the complications they faced were beautiful. The flash-forward was fun and exciting and I enjoyed having a large section of the novel further in time. I came to love the characters and cheer them on so seeing how much they had grown was just fabulous! If you like a beautifully written love story, you will most likely love this one!
