Commentary During Books When It Happens
At the start of her senior year in high school, Sara wants two things: to get into a top college and to find true love. Tobey also wants two things for his senior year: to win Battle of the Bands and to make Sara fall in love with him. However, a popular jock named Dave moves in on Sara first. But Tobey's quirky wit and big blue eyes are hard for Sara to ignore. Plus, he gets the little things that matter to her. Can a slacker rock-star wannabe win the heart of a pretty class brain like Sara?Hilariously and movingly told through Tobey and Sara's authentic voices, Susane Colasanti's debut novel sizzles in its portrayal of two young people searching for The One.

It's one of the best YA novels out there, and definitely the best love story, on par with that of Ron/Hermione, or Lily/James. It's one of those epic ones that you don't logically think exist, and yet, can't help but hope...Tobey's the guy every girl is looking for. He's sincere and honest and sweet and just a thoroughly lovely open person. He and Sara make an unbeatable pair.While Sara and Tobey are the main focus, the other plotlines (Maggie's parents, college hunting, etc) all workHmm, cant say that Im very fond of this one. I thought the whole plot was really lame. No twists and turns, no dramatic events or anything like that. While reading I kept thinking this cant be it, something must happen soon and I was always waiting for the big climax. I was still waiting for it on the last page.What I found extremely annoying was the style of writing. All this and then I was like and then she goes wasnt my thing at all. Whats wrong with good old I said and she replied? Whenever
And while you're waiting, don't settle for anything less than what you really want.
Sep. 2011.i wish there was a rating for 'hated it' because that's exactly how i felt towards this miserable excuse of a book after i read it.ive thought about writing a review and it was soo bad that i couldn't even do it.but now i'm going to.i feel like i need to warn people.i think i read a review for this saying that we would be rooting for the characters. well let me just tell you that i most certainly did not 'root for the characters'.i didn't even care what happened to those crappy

My exact thoughts were 'Is there actually a guy out there like Tobey?'I always have gotten used to the idea of guys being un-romantic and incapable of well, passion that every time when I read a book about a guy professing his undying love to his 'soul mate', I'm taken aback. In my mind, guys are so insensitive, and that had me wondering if the fictional characters in the book is actually a rare image of reality-living-guys. So, back to the book, does a guy like Tobey really do exist? It's a
When I finished, I sat on my bed and just thought. There were so many 5 star ratings and people gushing about how good it was, did I somehow miss it? I'm not understanding what people are finding so "undeniably cute" about this book. I can honestly say, this was one of the worst books I have ever read. It's not hard to please me. Give me a relatable main character who I will like and a good main guy, and I'm all into the story. *SPOILER ALERT*My problems began with Sara and her friends.
