Review Waiting on Forever

Description:

College.

Parties, sororities and getting drunk.

Oh, yeah. And learning.

This may be true for most college students, but not for Leah Bennett. College life for her includes studying, working, and excelling in school. When it comes to the social ladder, Leah is at the bottom. Popular girls, hot guys and star athletes are of no importance to her, except for one.

Matthew Jacobs.

Matt is the starting wide receiver at SUNY Cortland, the most wanted guy on campus and Leah’s best friend. Although Leah’s feelings toward Matt run deeper than just a friendship, it is something she would never let be heard because the odds of someone like Matthew Jacobs going for someone like Leah Bennett are slim to none.

When Matt starts showing an interest in Leah that goes beyond friendship, she is dumbfounded and doesn’t believe it is possible – until one weekend that changes everything.

Will Matt and Leah’s popularity status get in the way of having a chance at a real relationship?

Or does status mean nothing when it comes to true love?

My thoughts:

I received this book as an ARC to give an honest review. I strive to never be anything but honest with the followers of this blog, so here is my thoughts.  I LOVED this book!  I can honestly say that I have wanted to read this book ever since I first read a preview of it.  Each time I read a teaser it made me anxious to read it even more, so when the opportunity came up for me to get an ARC, I jumped at it. 

So here's the scoop on Waiting on Forever. It is a love story that is based in college.  Matthew Jacobs (Matt) is a star football player and is in his freshman year.  Leah Bennett is also a freshman, but a complete opposite of Matt being into art and having nothing to do with sports at all. 

I loved Matt.  He is such a sweetheart!  I really don't want to spoil this book for you, but I'm finding it hard at the moment! Its obvious from the books description that Matt and Leah begin a relationship, so by telling you that Matt is not the typical boyfriend is not ruining anything.  Through out the course of the book Matt struggles to tell Leah about his secret.

Leah doesn't think that she is good enough for Matt.  She knows she isn't popular and doesn't see what a star football player sees in her.  However to say that being with Matt isn't a thrill is an understatement.  She begins to realize that not only is he a great boyfriend, but that they both need more than just their relationship they need someone that they can count on even when things get hard. 

Through all their up and downs through the story Matt and Leah find that although they are different they fill a void that they both are missing.  The story is one of very few I have found that actually fills you in on the rest of their lives in the Epilogue.  There are no unanswered questions when you reach "The End."

I said it before but I totally LOVED this book!!  This is one that when I finished it, I immediately started to reread it.  I fell in love with both characters and found many moments of laughter while reading and a few moments that I wanted to reach into the book and smack the character because they weren't doing what I thought they should!  I totally recommend this book and scream go out and get it and fall in love with Matt and Leah too!!
