Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout
2.0
Wait for you was a huge disappointment. I would give it 2 stars only if it weren't for Cam. But then I thought it has already a high rating and it's not worth it.
You see, I am a huge fan of Lux series, and this is Jennifer L. Armentrout so I was waiting for something, I don't know, new. But it was so much like the other new adult books. And worst actually.
Avery left her hometown wanting to leave everything behind her trying to move on. But her dark secret can't let her go, she can't ignore it, she's trying at least. She made two friends, it is a huge thing considering high school. She meets this super hot guy, Cam, twice, accidentally. And to her surprise, it happens that he is living next door in the same apartment with his friend. She accepts to hang out with him. Like casual friends, but he's attraction to her is undeniable. Cam keeps asking her out, Avery continues to refuse. But after proving himself, she accepts to go on a date with him. But she's keeping many secrets about her past. And Cam is different, right? Some things are worth fighting for.
Avery is so irritating sometimes. She's a coward. I hate cowards. No matter what the heck they were been through. I understood her, I really did, however, everything has limits. She wasted too many opportunities to confess. But what can I say, Cam is a good guy. Also, I genuinely dislike those characters who doesn't do anything in their free time except studying. She can read a book, watch a movie, whatever! But only studying? No, that's too much. She wasn't an interesting heroine. I was shocked to know she watched a season from Supernaturals. But again, according to her situation then, not that much. My favorite Avery was the one in the last chapters. Secrets can change so much. Oh, speaking about that, I don't think we had to guess her dark secret quickly, right? But it was too obvious.
Cam is wonderful. I liked him so much. He's nice, funny, sweet and many other things. He clearly loves Avery, but I don't really know what he sees in her to be honest.
She made two friends. Brit and Jordan. The girl is pretty cool. She's a good friend. She noticed things no one else did. She knew something was wrong. Briefly, she loves Avery and she wants the best for her. But Jordan? No. I almost hated him. It's all about sex for him. He's like obsessed or something. He wanted her to sleep with Cam like now.
This book is overrated in my opinion. There are some very lame expressions. For example, I hated the cookie talk. So annoying and useless. Nothing about it is sexy or hot.
It was so cliche. Abused girl, meets some hot guy. They fall in love. But the thing is some of them are good. Some of them are beautiful. Wait for you wasn't.
