Kristy's Reviews > When It Happens

Sara is on a quest her senior year; to find something real and to get into NYU. She is a self-described nerd and proud of it, yet secretly longs for popularity and acceptance.

Tobey comes across as a lazy, but musically talented guy. I sort of picture him as a skater boy. He is majory crushing on Sara and even with his gorgeous eyes, he just can't figure out how to get her to notice him. There is the whole problem of Dave, seriously his nickname sould be D-Bag Dave.

Sara, for whatever reason thinks Dave is it. She pines for him over summer and when he finally asks her out, she thinks he is amazing. But, after that newlywed phase wears off, she realizes he is not all that great of a guy. But, there just happens to be one right in front of her in music class.

3 stars.

Very cute, coming of age story. Sweet little romance. Definitely for the older, young adult reader as there is a lot of sexual references and moments going on. Don't get me wrong, it's really mild, but I wouldn't feel comfortable if my say, 13 year old daughter was reading this one.

If you're into chik-lit, this is probably for you :)

P.S. I love the notes the girls would pass back and forth with famous couples names, i.e. pokey and gumby; wallace and grommit, etc.
