You Better Not Cry: Stories for Christmas
By: Augusten Burroughs
Publisher: St. Martin's Press

Genre: Memoir

Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

You’ve eaten too much candy at Christmas...but have you ever eaten the face off a six-foot stuffed Santa? You’ve seen gingerbread houses...but have you ever made your own gingerbread tenement? You’ve woken up with a hangover...but have you ever woken up next to Kris Kringle himself? Augusten Burroughs has, and in this caustically funny, nostalgic, poignant, and moving collection he recounts Christmases past and present--as only he can.

Mordantly funny, pathologically honest, and with a reckless disregard for his own dignity, Augusten reveals how the holidays bring out the worst in us and sometimes, just sometimes, the very, very best.

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Fallen Too Far

To want what you’re not supposed to have…

She is only nineteen.

She is his new stepfather’s daughter.

She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.

But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.

Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…

Blaire just may have fallen too far.
