I have decided to start a new book because the last one i was reading didn't have a lot of actions taking place in it, plus i didn't like how after ever paragraph they retold in more detail what the previous paragraph was about. So, the new book i will be reading is Waiting for You, by Susane Colasanti.
In this book, the main character, Marisa, wants to start her sophmore year with a new image. She doesn't want people to look at her the way they have in the previous years. She also thinks that this could be the year that she gets her first boyfriend.
(Pg. 3-13) Marisa gets back from summer camp where she went to learn more about photography and as soon as she gets settled in and back into the swing of things she goes to her bestfriend Sterlings house. Sterling is an excellent cook and for dinner she made Risotto. Sterling tells Marisa that she has decided to take up yoga as a new hobby, which is a shocker to Marisa because she knows that Sterling has an attention span of a fly. Sterling decides that 'this is our year!'. When they are done talking they go to thier friend Andrea's house for a peir party that is always a kickoff to the new year. It is there that she notices Derek, and after staring at him for awhile he looks at her, smiles and waves..which totally made her day. Then, as she was walking home she noticed Nash out on the dock. Nash is her neighbor, and they used to be really close but now it comes to her that she doesn't really know anything about him anymore. Which makes her wonder.. 'how time can change something you thought would always stay the same.'
