Waiting on Wednesday: Instructions for a Broken Heart

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme held by Jill at Breaking the Spine to feature upcoming books that we can't wait to get our hands on. 

Title: Instructions for a Broken Heart
Author: Kim Culbertson
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Date of Release: May 1, 2011 

Goodreads Description: Three days before her drama club's trip to Italy, Jessa Gardner discovers her boyfriend in the costume barn with another girl. Jessa is left with a care package from her best friend titled "Top Twenty Reasons He's a Slimy Jerk Bastard," instructing her to do one un-Jessa-like thing each day of the trip. At turns hilarious and heartwrenching, Instructions for a Broken Heart paints a magical Italy in which Jessa learns she must figure out life-and romance-for herself.

Why am I waiting? I love contemporary novels and this one sounds like it'll be a good but funny one. I can't wait to see what Jessa's best friend is going to make her do! Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's set abroad. I'm hoping there's going to be a hot Italian boy to drool over ;)

    This sounds awesome! The premise reminds me a bit of Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. Adding to my TBR list!

    This sounds wonderful. That last sentence makes it sound like there will be such an italian boy :). And I like her best friend already. What a good way to get Jessa's mind off things!

    Plus... Italy. I hope it's like Anna & the French Kiss was and gives us great descriptions of the country.
