This was a very run-of-the mill contemporary. At times it was very repetitive, and there were some things I didn't like about it. However, it dealt with a few personal issues that are very close to my heart.
I give this cute, fluffy contemporary 3 out of 5 stars,

Waiting for You is the Marisa's journey during her sophomore year in high school finding the perfect one.From the hottie at her school that she has been crushing on(and is quite a jerk) to a guy she was friends with in elementary school but had slipped away during the middle school years(who is secretly giving out advice to basically the whole school).Along with the boy troubles, she is also having to deal with trying not to get depressed again like she had been during the last school(which it doesn't help with her parents separating).One way to sum up is what her aunt said about where your image of a perfect guy can change when you start liking the "one" to the point of love.And don't give them up just because they aren't "hot" enough or smart enough for you.
Waiting for You was the first book by Susane Colasanti I have read and i absolutely loved itIt is a very simply read but yet not,it deals with many issues that teens go through with from having trouble with parents or your friend meeting guys online.This is definitely a book to read when your wanting something that isn't super serious but at the same time one that has no plot.And it also has quite a few good laughs in it,which is a great plus.

you know those smells? like the smell of the pool, or a specific house or candle, the way spring smells? it’s weird how all those smells remind you of the good ol days of childhood. those days for me were the days before i had to worry about phones and social life at school, when id go outside for hours and feel one with the earth and just feel so happy for no actual reason. well that’s what this whole book reminded me of. and it made me wish that i was the age i am now in 2010 , when i was really in kindergarden. growing up in the 60s or 80s are even early 2000s seems so fun cuz you did all your socializing actually at school, not online. and all the kids that you went to school with were close by, maybe even in your neighborhood, and you could all hang out and go outside whenever you feel like it. no one wants to go outside anymore but staying inside sucks. anyways this book was great and totally got me thinking way too much.

The beginning felt a little boring at first but I'm glad I decided to keep reading ! This novel talks about anxiety in a way that I, a person who suffers with anxiety sometimes, could really relate and enjoy. I love Susane Colasanti !!! She does not let me down 4.5 stars***

Easy summer read. This book was really easy to read even though there were some twists that I didn’t feel were necessary to the plot. Overall this book was a good teen romance.

loved it. deals with a lot of complicated topics such as anxiety, depression, parents divorcing, online dating, etc and I guess it was well handled though it is through the lenses of a teenager. Super relatable, made me realised friends to lovers supremacy >>>>> love them mua<3
