Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti

2.0

After spending the last year dealing with an anxiety disorder, Marisa has decided that this, her sophomore year, will be the year things start going right. She'll get the boyfriend she's been waiting for and will finally start living. Of course, things never go exactly as planned, and she ends up having to deal with friend, family, and relationship drama.

I can see that lots of people loved this, but I didn't get into it at all. The pacing felt very awkward, the shoehorned in '90s references were annoying, there was a large cast of random characters that I couldn't keep straight and who added nothing to the story, it was ridiculously predictable, and I didn't find Marisa's 'anxiety disorder' to be believable in the least.
