Guest Post: Exclusive Extract from The Waiting Game by Jessica Thompson

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Waiting Game by Jessica Thompson with an extract of The Waiting Game. I loved reading The Waiting Game (see my review) despite feeling sad most of the time… But in a good, everything is going to turn out fine kind of way. Below I have an exclusive extract from The Waiting Game, which was such an important moment in the book because this scene offers so much solace to Nessa and Kat (but I’m going to shut up now before spoilers occur!). Enjoy! Remember to check out the other stops on the tour for some great content!   Extract: January 14th 2015 . . . ‘Oh my god, I’m so, so nervous,’ Kat said, standing opposite her sister in the frozen car park.

But one tragic day in his past mars his future. Since the events of that day he hasn’t truly got close to anyone. He made a promise that love was the price he would pay for his mistakes.
