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 seen 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
Waiting on Forever is about college romance. Matt and Leah first meet at freshman orientation. Leah is majored in photography and the artsy nerd. On the other hand Matt is the superstar football player. Leah thought he's just another jock and of course Matt was curious about her. They chat in the orientation and had this weird friendship.. they come from two different side of the social ladder so they don't hang out with each other but often chat in facebook. Everything change when Matt needed help in their french class, and asked Leah to become his tutor. Everyday he picks her up in her dorm and spend more time together... which confused Leah... coz she thinks she is not worthy of Matt.. but little did she know he wanted her since the moment they met..
“You’re the only girl that I’ve ever allowed in my bedroom, so don’t feel grossed out about sitting on my bed,”
I have a thing for nerd girl and popular guy theme. The blurb and cover got me on this one and I just couldn't let it pass.
Even though Leah is a nerd and quiet she wasn't trying to change for Matt. Deep inside she's actually pretty feisty and doesn't let anyone walk all over her. Now Matt is not your typical jock man whore, yes he's popular but he's sensitive and sweet.. the way he treated Leah was just so darn cute!
“You don’t have to do a damn thing,” he says with sincerity in his eyes.
“I’ve been fallin’ since day one.”
Oh, the text messages between Matt and Leah was shown here as a graphic which was cool and unique! ^_^
Over all, the writing is pretty good with a wonderful double epilogue! If you're looking for a quick easy read, not a lot of drama then this one is for you. You will definitely fall in love with Leah and Matt and wouldn't be able to put it down!
The Forever Series
About the Author
Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded. I've waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and, most recently, worked full time as mom to my two beautiful little boys.
Then there was this book...
Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I didn't really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn't a big reader- okay, I didn't read at all. But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle.
I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days. Yes, three books in three days.
I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!).
Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head.I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it, Planning on Forever was born.
The voices in my head are still talking, so I'm still writing.
