Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti
3.0
This was my first time reading Colasanti, and I really enjoyed it! She definitely has a style to her writing, it was simplistic and enjoyable. It flowed very nicely, making it a very easy read.
Waiting for You is an emotional, fun, sort of coming of age story all centered around a first love. Although I predicted whom our heroine would end up with ultimately, it didn't keep me from turning the pages at warp speed! I liked the serious elements that Colasanti presented too. It was definitely not something I was expecting, but I think it really added to the overall prose of the story.
To me the characters were a little clichéd, not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but it didn't make them stand out amongst the throngs of awesome YA characters.
I'm going to have to pick up a copy of her other novels, probably When It Happens, I've heard great things about that one. Colasanti will be an author I'll pick up in the future.
