Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
Avery has left Texas to attend college at a small town University in West Virginia. Her main priority is that she doesn't know anyone, and can start over. She is glad to finally leave behind her pretentious parents, their country club friends, as well as everyone from school. Being treated as an outcast for the last few years has left her social skills a little lacking, but she hopes to move on and make new friends. Avery quickly becomes friends with Jacob and Brittany, and literally runs into hot guy Cam on the first day of school.
***Spoilers***
It turns out that Cam lives in the apartment next door with his friend Ollie. The two of them become friends, especially after he shows up and makes breakfast every Sunday. He finds out that Avery has never had a boyfriend, or been on a date and takes every opportunity to ask her out. She repeatedly tells him no in the beginning, but finally gives in several months later. He knows she has secrets she isn't sharing, but he has his own. Avery was raped when she was 15 by one of her parents friends son. Instead of things being awkward at the country club, her parents tell her to drop the charges for a ton of money. When she drops the charges, everyone at school starts calling her a lying whore, and because of the non-disclosure agreement, she can't say anything about it. She has to finish high school with no friends, and constantly being ridiculed. A few months after the rape she tried to kill herself, and her shitty parents were only concerned about how it made them look. In the end after almost losing Cam twice, she finally tells him about what happened, and that she recently learned the guy raped another girl, Molly and is in jail. She goes back to Texas to tell her parents off, and tries to talk to Molly, but she is so angry with Avery nothing really gets accomplished. She feels that if Avery had of not dropped the charges he would have already been in jail, and wouldn't have been able to hurt her. At the end of the book Molly texts Avery asking to talk with her. Avery isn't sure what she could want since they haven't talked in months, since Avery went to Texas.
