Wait for you (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

Synopsis

Avery Morgenstern is a girl with a dark past she chooses to run away from. After finally getting away from her perfect parents to go to University thousands of miles from home, Avery only hopes she'll find what she couldn't find there. Peace and closure. No more name-calling and harassment-bullying. When she runs into the hottest guy in University on her first day to Astronomy class, things change, at least for Cameron Hamilton, they do. Even more do things change when they both realize they're neighbors. And who wouldn't want to live across from pretty blue eyes with abs to die for.

Well...

I love Jennifer L. Armentrout's books. I really do. Not this one. It was good. Worthy of reading. But not enough to make me want to recommend it. Maybe for readers trying to get into the YA genre, this would be a warm up.
But it's a cliche.
All of it.
The entire freaking book is just the most typical, overused alpha-shygirl bundle of sadness and I, for one, am sick of it. Not the mention that the protagonist was awfully annoying. Why the three stars you ask!? I don't know what it was but I was still curious where everything went. Convinced the ending wasn't going to be so bad.
It was bad.
OR Happy. I guess it depends on how you all see it.
For me, more would've been nice. Shall I start predicting the next books in the series, despite the fact that it's probably another messed up couple that keep lying to each other and have a terrifyingly bad amount of communication and trust. Where it's all about the sex. Yes. This book was all about her not being able to get over rape. It is honestly terrible. These things happen. Her parents not believing her?!
Does that actually exist?! Such parents cannot exist or they should not be named parents.
Their daughter was RAPED and they want to pay off the rapist's family in order to shut up but yet the school still finds out and parents.. what.. they paid them and the word still got out. How inconvenient for them. Really now. I would've liked the book more if her parents were the least supportive, or showed any kind of affection. Their only child and this shit happens and all they can do is worry about their reputation in the Club. I forgot what the Club was even for. Some happy family gathering thing or something. See. Jennifer, help me remember stuff don't make the entire book so unmemorable.
His character, I might've loved and everything around the moments when he kept asking her out and her rejecting him yet wanting to accept so bad. That was pretty great because-it was just cute and the fact that he tried so often and it turned into a joke. That was the perfect little corner of the book. Worthy of three stars. Okay, maybe less, because this is, again, a cliche.

• The fact that it starts with her running into him and him coincidentally being the hot guy on campus is just..

• The fact that he has ripped abs and is beautiful yet also notices her and wants to be all over her because she said "No," is again a cliche. 

• There's also a typical overly dramatic gay character who also happens to be her best friend.

• A slut friend Cam has that keeps throwing herself at him,.

• Molly who could've just sent her emails with the subject: "I was raped too." Which would've saved us from all of the harassment mystery.

• Her parents, I won't even start.

• The part where she throws herself at another guy to get him jealous.

• The part where in the end she gets so drunk he's a nice enough guy to change her. Hmm... How many more cliches can this book haaaave?!

It will not take a genius to know why she's such a freakshow. OR is she really?! Besides the ridiculous part where she runs away from her first class, there isn't really anything to make her seem like a total freak. I did find a part of her reaction understandable (When unknown, drunk boy insists on grinding on her or something.) But Cam being there for the rescue is just a cliche off the charts. More? Oh yes, SOMEHOW they become project partners in class. SOMEHOW he picks her because the other more attractive, lonely girls don't run from getting to class late. Now, here's a ridiculous quote to end this review.


"I'm beginning to think cookies is a code for something else."
"Maybe it is." He tugged on my bag again as he took a confident step back, forcing me down another step. "And just think about it. If cookie was a code word, whatever it symbolizes. it's been in your mouth, sweetheart." 

No! Just No.

Until Next time, Jennifer Armentrout
