I am delirious with joy (totally NOT an understatement) because I FINALLY get to show you my book cover for The List. It comes out in March and I just got the go ahead today to show you something I've been keeping quiet for six weeks.
Are you impressed I kept it under wraps for this long? You should be. It was killing me! But I just got permission ten minutes ago to debut it, so here it is, my book cover!!!!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Yep, I love it!)
And from the back cover:
Ashley Barrett doesn't want to get married. At least, not anytime soon. She doesn't care how many of her friends and family members and fellow churchgoers had weddings before they finished college--the last thing she needs in her fun-loving twenties is the dead weight of some guy. And that's why she created The List. By the time she completes all twenty-five goals---from learning a language to skydiving to perfecting the art of making sushi---she'll be more ready to settle down. Maybe.
This summer in California is a prime time for Ashley to cross two things off The List: Learn to Surf (#13) and have a summer romance (#17). And Matt Gibson, the best surf instructor in Huntington Beach and the most wanted guy in the singles ward, is the perfect man for the job. Ashley hatches a plan to love him and leave him before heading off to grad school in the fall (#4 get a master's degree). But when Matt decides he doesn't like the "leaving" part, Ashley's carefully laid plans are turned sideways. Now Ashley faces an unexpected dilemma: should she stick to the safety of The List, or risk everything for a man who might tie her down---or might set her free?
