Bright Before Sunrise

Author: Tiffany Schmidt
Publisher: Walker
Release Date: February 18, 2014

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When Jonah is forced to move from Hamilton to Cross Pointe for the second half of his senior year, "miserable" doesn't even begin to cover it. He feels like the doggy-bag from his mother's first marriage and everything else about her new life—with a new husband, new home and a new baby—is an upgrade. The people at Cross Pointe High School are pretentious and privileged—and worst of all is Brighton Waterford, the embodiment of all things superficial and popular. Jonah’s girlfriend, Carly, is his last tie to what feels real... until she breaks up with him.

For Brighton, every day is a gauntlet of demands and expectations. Since her father died, she’s relied on one coping method: smile big and pretend to be fine. It may have kept her family together, but she has no clue how to handle how she's really feeling. Today is the anniversary of his death and cracks are beginning to show. The last thing she needs is the new kid telling her how much he dislikes her for no reason she can understand. She's determined to change his mind, and when they're stuck together for the night, she finally gets her chance.

Jonah hates her at 3p.m., but how will he feel at 3 a.m.?

One night can change how you see the world. One night can change how you see yourself.

Why I'm Excited:

I love books that take place in a single day (or night). And I love dueling viewpoints. And I love YA contemporary romance. And I love this cover with its huge moon. Overall, this sounds like just the book for me.

What are you waiting for on this sweltering July day? Link me up!

This does sound good. I've been reading more contemporary YA romance and really enjoying them so I'll be adding this to my TBR list. Great pick! ~Pam

If you like books that take place in a day, have you seen the TV show 24? I used to watch that with my parents all the time.

I think that books that take place in a day that are well done are awesome! This one looks like fun and I love the moon on that cover!

Bright Before Sunrise sounds great, and I love the line in the blurb: "One night can change how you see the world. One night can change how you see yourself." I'm going to have to check this one out-I love dueling view points too! Thanks for sharing. :)

Okay, I am definitely adding this one to my TBR pile after reading that synopsis! It sounds like the kind of book that I'll love, especially as it only spans a single night. Thanks for the introduction!

This does sound really good but I am hesitant about reading it because I have a feeling I won't like it. I am gonna have to wait and see some reviews first.

Pretty cover, and it sounds like it will be a great romance. Thanks for stopping by my post.

I think this is the only new book I added to my TBR today. :) But I really liked Tiffany Schmidt's Send Me a Sign, so I had to add this one. It sounds cute, and that cover is kind of awesome. Great pick...thanks for bringing it to my attention!
ChristineJuly 24, 2013 at 9:24 PM
I haven't heard of this one but I love that cover! The moon is my favorite :) So this book takes place in one day? That's neat! I don't think I've actually read any books that take place in that short amount of time frame. Definitely adding this to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing!

Oh that sounds so sad, yet awesome at the same time. You have to wonder what happened during the night to make Jonah change his mind. Nice choice and thanks for stopping by my blog. :D
Nina L.July 28, 2013 at 10:21 AM
Wow! This one sounds so interesting. I always like the idea of one night chances. I mean, a lot of things can change in just one night right? Great pick you have! Thanks for dropping by my WoW. :D
