Can’t Wait Wednesday – Spotlight on LITTLE BIG LOVE by Katy Regan
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll just be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is LIttle Big Love by Katy Regan and I have to admit that the main reason I’m excited about it is the comparison in the blurb to About a Boy and Parenthood, which are two of my favorites. Parenthood is one of those shows that gave me all the feels and that I could only watch with a box of tissues nearby because I knew I’d sob at some point during almost every episode. I’m really hoping that this book packs a similar emotional punch and by the description, it sounds entirely possible.
LITTLE BIG LOVE by Katy Regan
Publication Date: June 5, 2018
From Goodreads:
About a Boy meets Parenthood in this smart, big-hearted love story about a family for whom everything changed one night, a decade ago, and the young boy who unites them all.
Ten-year-old Zac Hutchinson collects facts: octopuses have three hearts, Usain Bolt is the fastest man on earth. But no one will tell him the one thing he wants to know most: who his father is and where he went.
When Zac’s mother, Juliet, inadvertently admits that his dad is the only man she’s ever loved, Zac decides he is going to find him and deliver his mom the happily ever after she deserves.
But Liam Jones left for a reason, and as Zac searches for clues of his father, Juliet begins to rebuild what shattered on the day that was at once the happiest and most heartbreaking of her life.
Told through the eyes of Zac, Juliet, and grandfather Mick, Little Big Love is a layered, heartfelt, utterly satisfying story about family, love, and the secrets that can define who we are.

Oh gosh, this sounds like such a tender and promising blurb revolving around a tough question for a little one like Zac.
I think it’s going to be a tearjerker, lol.
This does sound like you need a box of tissues by you. It sounds like it will be a little bit heartbreaking and I would like to see if he gets his mom and dad together again. Great pick!

I do love tearing up when I read! And this cover is SOOO cute!
Isn’t it? That cover drew me right in and then when I read the blurb, I knew I had to read this book.
Sounds heartwarming. I hope you get to read it soon.
Me too, thanks!
This one sounds like a real tearjerker, Suzanne – I hope you enjoy it:)

OMG Parenthood was THE BEST! *sigh* I miss that show so much. And now I’m really interested in this book!
I miss it too!
Oh, I LOVE About a Boy – it’s a favorite book and movie of mine. This sounds really good!
I haven’t read the book but I did love the movie 🙂
This sounds like it could be a sweet read 🙂
I hope it will be 🙂
I am excited to read this one too. About a Boy meets Parenthood – uh, yes please! I live for these types of stories, so if it is executed well, I think it will be a winner.
I think so too!
Looks cute, and I love that cover. That would be one to have a physical copy of for the shelf!
I agree. If the cover hadn’t been so cool, I’m not convinced I would have even given this book a second thought.
