Waiting on Wednesday

I feel like nowadays we're all reading books that are in a series. So Waiting on Wednesdays tend to be overrun with the next installments of a series. Which is why today I want to put the spotlight on a stand alone novel. This book is like nothing I have seen before. It looks unique and fun and I cannot wait for it to come out later this year. I have also never read anything by this author so I'm not sure if she'll really pull off this particular story (because this could be done really well or really badly), but I'm excited to find out! I love giving new stories a chance, I love reading completely original stories, and I love reading work from an author who is new to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felicity St. John has it all—loyal best friends, a hot guy, and artistic talent. And she’s right on track to win the Miss Scarlet pageant. Her perfect life is possible because of just one thing: her long, wavy, coppery red hair.

Having red hair is all that matters in Scarletville. Redheads hold all the power—and everybody knows it. That’s why Felicity is scared down to her roots when she receives an anonymous note:

I know your secret.

Because Felicity is a big fake. Her hair color comes straight out of a bottle. And if anyone discovered the truth, she’d be a social outcast faster than she could say "strawberry blond." Her mother would disown her, her friends would shun her, and her boyfriend would dump her. And forget about winning that pageant crown and the prize money that comes with it—money that would allow her to fulfill her dream of going to art school.

Felicity isn’t about to let someone blackmail her life away. But just how far is she willing to go to protect her red cred?
