After reading this book I dont think that cookies and eggs will be the same for me.
Avery
Avery is starting college but all she wants is to start a new life.
Just consider how lucky she is.
She is living next to a HOTTIE.
Cam
They are both attending astronomy and that brings them closer.
Cam is determined to go out with her so he is asking her everyday but she is always turning him down.
"Go out with me Avery."
"No".
"See?She keeps turning me down."
Jacob shook his head
"You're an idiot Avery."

I am conducting what I'm shelving as a "New Adult (NA) Experiment". I'm going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems. Here's hoping!
I'm almost tempted to just give Wait for You 5 stars because I haven't laughed this much at a book since I don't even remember when. I'm laughing while writing this review (there's no one else in the house, so that's kinda creepy I guess) and it's really not funny, to be h ...more
“You want to say yes, but you’re just not ready.”
My jaw dropped.
“It’s okay.” His grin turned cocky. “I’m a lot to handle, but I can assure you, you’ll have fun handling me.”
This book =>
A perfect mix of swoony, wonderful, romantic, heartbreaking, angsty, dramatic and beautiful <3

From page one, I've had the goofy smile on my face, and my grinning just got bigger and bigger till my cheeks hurt :D

Drinking game! Every time something cliche happens, take a shot. Warning: alcohol poisoning is a real risk and you should consult your doctor before reading.
Cliche #1
Avery trips on her first day of school and is saved by a cute guy, aka, Cam. He's also kind of a douche. Very shoujo manga-ish.
Cliche #2
Avery and Cam are in the same class.
Cliche #3
Did I mention they're also partners for a school project?
Cliche #4
And are neighbors in their dorm.

4.5 stars -- He had me at sweetheart ♥
This book was JUST what I needed right now!!
I totally understand why everyone is raving about it! I was swooning from the first page and didn’t want to put it down till I finished it. Not to mention that amazing fact that it is a stand-alone!!! A completed romance with a happy ending that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy. I LOVED IT!!
Now, while I fell into insta-love with this book, I very much appreciated that the characters didn’t. I loved that their re ...more

Charming 4 1/2 stars!
I very much enjoyed reading this book. It was one of the most endearing, touching, and fun friends-to-lovers tropes I've read in a long time. I adored and swooned over Cam (Oh, how I LOVED him), sympathized with and understood Avery, and felt they shined brilliantly together.

i need to keep reminding myself that if i had read this when it first came out and i had none of JLAs other books to compare it to, i probably would have really enjoyed this more (which is why im rounding up).
because this story definitely feels dated. and some of the storytelling is… a choice. theres some blatant stereotyping going on when it comes to certain characterisation and some of the dialogue is pretty cringey.

An extremely sexy, entertaining read!
Every aspect of this story was engaging; from the lovable characters to the quirky dialogue and superb writing...I fell head-over-heels in literary love with this story!
Avery Morgansten has a secret—one that has her fleeing to the other side of the country to escape. Her cold-hearted parents are a despicable source of authority and Avery enters her new college completely alone...that is, until her sexy 'run-in' with Cam.

A SLOW BURN TO THE NTH DEGREE
I love the NA genre and have been wanting to read something by this author. As soon as I started the first chapter, I knew I was in for a treat.
The MC's, Avery and Cam, were exactly what I hoped for. Avery is sassy, determined and says whatever she feels like, but is emotionally flawed. Cam is adorably full of himself, fun to be around, and oh so confident and sinfully gorgeous.
Girls clamor to be with Cam, but he sets his sights on the red-headed beauty, ...more

My Cameron and Avery:
Avery is starting college, far away from her home, ever critical parents and her past. She wants just one single thing - to start over and have a normal life with noone knowing what had happened to her five years ago when she was only fourteen and what made her closed and uncomfortable around others. But what she is not expecting is Cameron - popular, extremely good looking and real charmer who is determined to get to know ...more

3 - 3.5 COOKIE STARS! ★★★☆
“I'm beginning to think cookies is a code word for something else."
Yup. Don't think I'll ever see a cookie in the same way again ;D
Anywho. GAH I couldn't really settle with a rating for this one because the first half of the book felt like a solid 4, but the second half starting getting on my nerves with Avery. And there's Cam and his pet tortoise Raphael who I would give 5 stars to.

First off, I will never look at cookies and eggs the same way again. I love cookies, and if that's a code word for something else, then I'll take that too. Nor will I be able to eat them without thinking about CAM. Sigh. He was incredibly hot, right down to that sun tattoo, absolutely, but it was something more.

As my first ever JLA read, I have no idea as to what to expect. But simply basing it on friends’ reviews, I know for a fact that JLA is one of our elite kick-ass writers. This book made me see why. She is naturally endowed with great writing skills, so that although this entire story is quite a bit familiar (as it reminds me so much of a mix across Hopeless by Colleen Hoover, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and the Lovely Vicious series by Sara Wolf- all of which are great books, BTW), she still ...more
J.Lynn or Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of the best authors out there right now and by far, the most complex, because she can write almost everything in a flawless manner. Who can actually have 2 pen-names and nail it every single time? Add Jennifer to your list:)
