This story was an amazing read even though I have already experienced the events once.
Being inside Cam's head was pretty darn amazing and made the story, at points, feel like I was reading it for the first time!

JLA is just amazing!

Okay.... This novella is pretty good. Its really interesting to see the main events of book 1 from the point of view of Cam (the male love interest in the first book).

The plot of the book is that of Wait for Me, which is the story of a young women in college called Avery who moves to a small town to go to college and literally bumps into Cam on the first day of College and then romance ensues.

The good points about this book is that you have a better indication of the side characters such as Jace, who is the main protagonist of the second book. You see Cam''s relationships with the boys and its really endearing. You also get a look into his family and see his close relationship with his sister which is so heartfelt. I think what really brings the romance together is that both characters are likeable and flawed. For example, Cam is arrogant but not, in my opinion, a horrible way as it leads to a more humorous side of the story, despite serious topics being discussed.

What i didn't like about the story was that i found it very rushed. I think the story would have worked better if we had ONE key moment through the point of view of Cam and really explored that. I think that in the case, flashbacks would have worked well too, but that me being picky as it is a novella.

Over all, not a bad book, and i would recommend it before reading the second as it has made me intrigue and sympathies with Jace and Teresa, the main couple in book 2. The series is made up of companion novels. so books can be read in order or on their own.

This was just....meh. I loved Cam in Wait For You because he was charming and just a general good guy, but this book didn't add anything new to him. If anything it was a little bit messy!

At first I didn’t love that it was cam’s POV of the exact same story, but I think it was really important that she got her own story and then we got his side totally separate. Loved

Que puedo decir. Lei el primer libro a inicios del año y quise dejar la perspectiva de Cam cuando no me acordaba tanto de la historia y aquí estoy, feliz. Ya sabía de que era la historia, este tipos de libros es como mi comfort zone se que no sufriré y que todo será amorrr.
Me encanta la pareja, su química es hermosa. Espero saber más de ellos en los libros futuros.

MAS RESEÑAS EN -------------------- http://believeinromance.blogspot.com.ar

Luego de leer Wait for you, que me gustó mucho, dejé este libro para más tarde ya que quería no tener tan fresca la historia de Avery y Cam y no me arrepiento. No es novedad que prefiera cuando relatan los libros los chicos, amo su punto de vista, no sé si es porque usualmente me gustan más los chicos que las chicas, o porque tienen una mirada completamente distinta a la femenina, y al ser mujer, me guste estar en su cabeza, que es más simple y directa. Así que Trust in Me me gustó mucho, la mirada de Cam es más abierta de lo que esperé y el personaje me sorprendió en su profundidad, cosa que no hizo en Wait for you, interpretado por Avery.

La verdad es que no hay mucho que reseñar de la historia, es la misma que Wait for you (arriba link) pero del lado de Cam, me gustó ver lo que pensaba el personaje con respecto al secreto de Avery, sus conclusiones y lo rápido que se dio cuenta que algo mal iba con ella. Si en el primer libro Cam me pareció paciente, desde su lado, puedo decir que es un santo. Sólo por eso, creo que el libro es irreal, no creo que exista hombre más paciente que este, yo en más de una oportunidad, hubiera sacudido a Avery para que reaccione y no sea tan estúpida.

He leído varias reseñas que dicen que los diálogos entre Trust in Me y Wait for yo son muy repetitivos, por lo que recomiendo una pausa entre un libro y otro para disfrutar más la lectura. Sin duda, me gustó más el libro narrado por Cam. Si bien Cam es un personaje que me gusta mucho, sinceramente hubiera querido saber más de él. Jennifer no se explaya en este sentido, o sea sí, cuenta sobre Cam y qué pasó con su hermana, etc, etc... Pero no lo desarrolla al personaje como esperé que lo hiciera. Intensamente, explicando su personalidad, conviviendo con amigos, con su familia, incluso saber bien qué piensa de su futuro, de sus clases, no sé, quisiera haber podido conocerlo m´pas. En fin, la historia me gustó mucho más del lado de Cam y recomiendo muchísimo el libro. Saludos, Danna.
