Review:
So who moves to a different location, leaves everything behind ... for a boy?  Brooke did, and even though she did it for all the wrong reasons it turns out okay in the end.  Brooke is in love with Scott and she just knows they belong together, but he's moving the summer before Senior year, she decides to follow him.  Now this reminded me a lot of "Felicity", does anyone remember that TV show?  I loved that show so much, such a great story (Felicity-Ben-Noel).  Anyway, you know that saying, "be careful what you wish for"  because once you get it, it may not be what you want.  That's exactly how I felt about their relationship.  It's a good thing that Brooke made some great friends with Sadie and John because without them she would have stayed lost.  They really helped Brooke discover who she is and who she wants to be.  This book was great and really a quick read.  I have to say I really hope that in the literary future of the So Much Closer world, that John and Brooke really do get together and live happily every after.  I've read every one of Susane Colasanti's book and this is another great one from her.  Very adorable and happy warm fuzzy feelings.  Can't wait for her next book which comes out next year "Keep Holding On".

I've just started this book but this really sums up what the product description says, review to come soon!

Waiting for You

Waiting For You
by Susane Colasanti

This book is about a girl who is constantly waiting for something to happen, for someone to find her, for someone to just be with. It starts out with her coming back to school after being severely depressed and going through therapy, then she somehow catches the eye of a really cute guy that she's been crushing on. This scenario almost seems a little too unlikely, like she just had a little bit too much luck so it was unbelievable. Meanwhile throughout the whole book is a neighbor boy who used to be close with her, then wasn't, but now is again. It was obvious where the book was going even who the Mystery DJ was in the end. Overall okay read but really predictable and at the same time unbelievable.

2.5/3 out of 5 stars
