Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishing Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we're
excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet
to be released as well. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the
fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. Find out more here.

Society wife-in-training Dani has a great
awakening after being recruited by rebel spies and falling for her biggest
rival.
At the
Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two
roles in their polarized society. Depending on her specialization, a graduate
will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children. Both paths
promise a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings
of the lower class.
Daniela
Vargas is the school’s top student, but her pedigree is a lie. She must keep
the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society.
And school
couldn’t prepare her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation,
especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting
to bring equality to Medio.
Will Dani
cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or will she give up
everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio—and a chance at a
forbidden love?
