Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti
4.0
I have read a few other Susane Colasanti books now and they never disappoint. Quick, fun reads but still have all that meaning in them. Waiting for you did not disappoint and I was very satisfied with the ending.
Marisa, our narrator deals with anxiety disorder, where she can get depressed rather easily. She and her best friend, Sterling, are going into their sophomore year and want to make this a year to remember. Marisa ha been crushing on Derek for a while now, and can't seem to get him out of her mind. Problem is, he has a girlfriend, and she thinks that nobody ever notices her. Plus, Sterling keeps trying to find guys online to go out with, ones that are way too old for her. At the beginning of the year, her and her old time friend, Nash, reunite, and their friendship becomes something they rely on. But Nash tries to share his feelings but Marisa doesn't feel the same way because she likes Derek. To add to all her drama, she is having some family issues, all of this happening to Marisa in about a years time, shows what can really happen to people. All kinds of people go through this in real life and its nice to see a well written adaptation of it. I can't wait to read more of her books, and hope they are just as good.
