Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout
2.0
“As long as the sun’s shining, shit can’t be that bad.”
When Avery goes off to college, she has every intention of leaving her past behind, that one event that changed her life forever. Instead, her past follows her right along with her to college, miles away from home. She must face her past, though Cam, the devastatingly handsome college guy, is everywhere she goes, he's even there when the truth comes out.
I had high expectations of Wait For You and I was disappointed. Though it wasn't a disastrous read, it was the very same cliché teen ridden angst I feared. The plot didn't capture my attention all that much and moved too slow at times. Even then, the things that did happen were predictable and over-used. Avery was incredibly frustrating and I disliked her as a narrator. Frankly, I found her unintelligent, indecisive, and had serious trust issues with Cam even though he had proved again and again that his intentions were not what she thought. Cam was the only reason I read on and finished and the reason why this got 3 instead of 2 stars, despite being unrealistically perfect, he was a pretty damn awesome guy.
Perhaps those looking for a typical NA romance, this will be your thing, but if you're looking for something thought-provoking and original, I'd steer clear.
