Summer read

This was a really cute summer read. I would take it down to the beach with me and lose time with it. I liked it because the plot wasnt complex, it was just a guy and a girl trying to be with each other. I also like the fact that the guy was a guitarist because those are the kind of guys i always lean to. A really fast read if your looking for something quick and fun.


Liv's Book Reviews

This was a good book. Very good. I think that Susane Colasanti's whole writing/plot style is rather like Sara Dessen's except she doesn't deal with as heavy subjects has Sara does. And I think the whole lightness of the story is what made it so great. It was a real story; it was something that you could totally picture happening, but it also just kind of swept you away into happy land as you watched this magical romance unfold. Tobey and Sara were the most unlikely match and yet somehow, against all odds, they ended up together and infinitely happy. It's definitely a nice and optimistic plot that will appeal to anyone. We all want to be told that no matter what, we'll find that special person, and this book shows that anything can happen and with anyone. One of the high points of the book was the characters. They were all really in depth and real to me which is the most I could ask for in a book. I love having characters that are flawed and yet still relatable enought that you root for them throughout the entirety of the story. For the most part, When It Happens is your ideal beach read. You might have to do a little bit of thinking here and there, and there might be a small instance of heart break, but it all adds to the overall charm and wonderfulness of the book. I highly recommend it if you want a story that you can just sit down and dreamily get lost in. And don't we all want that every now and then?

An Unforgettable Story

It's both Sarah and Tobey's senior year of high school. Sara's got everything planned out: she's going to attend NYU after she graduates. And she's all set to go with her stellar grades. Tobey on the other hand doesn't plan on attending college. He figures he'll win Battle of the Bands and move onto greater things than school. But there is one thing he's sure on: making Sara fall in love with him.

When It Happens was a cute and funny story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Sara and Tobey have the perfect kind of romance that everyone wishes they had. Susane Colasanti understands teen emotions well, especially those of the smart girl and the music junkie. The plot flowed smoothly, and I really liked the alternate narration between Sara and Tobey. If this novel had one flaw, it would be that the story was too perfect, which made it unrealistic. I know I was wondering if everything in this story continued to be this perfect when they started college.

If you're looking for a light, fun, and enjoyable story, When It Happens is the novel for you. I'm definitely going to check out Susane Colasanti's next novel, Take Me There.

One of my Favorites

I was just browsing through a book store when I came upon When It Happens, and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and finished it in about six hours. It seems kind of hard for me to picture what happens in this book, like the high school for instance, because my high schools not like that, but its great how Colasanti makes it seem so real and vivid!

I thought that it was a great book!

Reminiscent of the movie Say Anything, a debut novel for all those searching for The One!

Sara and Tobey couldn?t be more different. She is focused on getting into her first-choice college; he wants to win Battle of the Bands. Sara?s other goal is to find true love, so when Dave, a popular jock, asks her out, she?s thrilled. But then there?s Tobey. His amazing blue eyes and quirky wit always creep into her thoughts. It just so happens that one of Tobey?s goals is also to make Sara fall in love with him. Told in alternating points of view, Sara and Tobey?s real connection will have everyone rooting for them from the minute they meet!
