At the beginning of her sophomore year, Marisa is ready for a fresh start, and hopefully her first real boyfriend. Could it be popular, dreamy Derek? Or geeky Nash, who just might have a crush on her? Then there’s the underground, anonymous DJ, whose podcasts are the hottest thing at school and who seems to totally understand Marisa. But she doesn’t know who he is...or does she? “Chick lit for girls who think.”—Kirkus Reviews “An authentic picture of how complicated it is to be a teenager, especially one in love.” —Publishers Weekly “Colasanti has a knack of sustaining the heart- pounding suspense of young love for the length of a novel while managing to make it read, charmingly, like a conversation.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

" I'm not going to lie, it was pretty boring. I'm sure if I were 11 or twelve the dialogue wouldn't have "like, totally like annoyed me!" I don't want to spoil this for anyone but, SHE CHOOSES THE NERD in the end. I know, shocking right? I know this because I skipped to the last 3 chapters and still new exactly what was going on. I'm sure you're asking....."why Teea? Why do you keep picking up Y/A novels?" well, for those of you who care.... sometimes I find one that I really love. It's usually worth the sacrifice. Not lately though. Geez, I'm in such a reading slump. If you have any suggestions PLEASE send them my way. It's becoming tragic. "

— Carson, 5/10/2013" A little too young adultish for me, but good story line. "
— Michelle, 4/23/2013" This was a great young adult novel that any Sarah Dessen fan would love. However, my favorite bit was that the characters were reading books like Speak and The Pact, books the readers would know and enjoy. "
— Kim, 12/13/2012" Great young adult book. It completely encompasses how teenagers are. "

— Juweria, 5/4/2011" It was okay, couldn't stand the main character. Too Whiny. I wanted more interaction with the geeky guy and main girl. "
— Erica, 4/24/2011" Absolute favorite book by her! I understood exactly what the main character was going through. It was like reading pages from my journal or thoughts in my head. Ah-maz-ing. "
— Sydni, 4/11/2011" This book is an example of the books I typically read. Sweet, romantic and high school types. "
— Savannah, 4/2/2011" This book was so so so cute. I really like the characters, especially Nash. He is so sweet. I firgured out who dirk was way before the main character did. I recommend this book for an adorable quick read. "
— Megan, 4/2/2011" This book is self explanatory. It shows how much waiting for someone is really worth it, and if you rush into things too quickly it'll go downhill. "
— Elizabeth, 3/30/2011" Susane does it again! She is one of my favorite authors. Right behind Sarah Dessen. Screw that! They are tied for first! I love her books so much. I admit it, I am completely in love with Nash. I'm just gonna sit here and wait anxiously until Something Like Fate comes out :D "
— Darci, 3/28/2011" Really good, predictable but what stories like this aren't? I loved it, and if you read Truth about forever(by sarah dessen) or When it Happens(Susane Colasanti), you will tooo! I promise!! "
