From the BLURB: When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do ...
And while I write my raving review for Red Rising, here are my Waiting on Wednesday picks for the week, check them out!

Why I'm waiting for Enmity:
It reminds me a little bit of Margaret Stohl's Icons. Doesn't it make you wonder how assassins in a world where solar flares threatening the civilization of the world fit in the story. And why the solar flare? Was it a conspiracy? And what is with this war? What kind of war is it? And for what? With all these questions, it's evident how curious I am about this story. I need to find out more!
Why I'm waiting for The Dare:
Hannah Jayne's novels always have this dangerously mysterious vibe. The summaries for her books never fail to give me goosebumps whenever I read them, and The Dare's is no exception. It's got that wonderfully chilling potential and I'm pretty sure this is going to be a thrill of a read. It makes me a little bit afraid to be honest, and a little intrigued at the same time.What do you think?

Summary (from Goodreads):
Love vs Life.
Good vs Evil.
War vs Warfare.
Which would you choose?
After a solar flare wipes out most of the world’s inhabitants, it leaves behind nothing but a desolate earth and a desperate population. Existence is no longer a certainty. And with factions now fighting for the power to rule, people start to become reckless with their lives. The world has become a dangerous place.
Amongst the ensuing chaos, Nate and Hermia — two victims of the new world order — are taken against their will to The Compound. Joined by eight other teenagers all chosen for a specific reason, Nate and Hermia are forced to train as assassins to overthrow the current president and make way for a new leader of the free world. Here, they learn to plan, fight, and most importantly... to survive.
Except, despite the casual cruelty of their new existence, both Nate and Hermia — two very strong but very different people — begin to form fragile bonds within the group. But they soon realize their happiness is short lived...because their training is just the beginning.
A war awaits...regardless of how ready or willing they may be.
