When It Happens Susane Colasanti Books

I bought this book on a whim; especially when the cover drew me in. The summary didn't sound too extraordinary, and when I first cracked it open and read a few teaser sentences, I started to regret my decision to get this. By the end, the entire story just filled me with joy. Don't worry, though-- it didn't take me that long to get sucked in. That happened almost instantly.

Who else loves when a story jumps from one perspective to another? I know I do. First you read about Sara's life. Sara is intelligent, artistic, and not considered to be a part of the popular crowd (although she's been eyeing Dave since last year). Dave is the guy that everyone wants- popular, handsome, outgoing. When Dave asks her out, her entire world is turned upside down. She becomes popular by association...but is Dave really what she wanted out of a boyfriend?

Then you're introduced to Tobey. He's the slacker you see in the back of class. The rocker with dark hair and violet colored eyes. He's been lusting for Sara for quite some time and can barely take it anymore. That's why he and his band mates come up with a plan to get her to notice him. Although she's taken by a total jerk, Tobey thinks that she may be "the one".

If you couldn't have guessed by now, Sara falls for Tobey's charm. They feel a connection instantly. Both of them even dunk their onion rings in mustard. Wow, that's love. It turns out that Tobey is everything that Dave wasn't (in the best ways possible). Wait...What happens with Dave? Does Tobey's band win the Battle of the Bands? What paths are the characters headed down after high school ends? Well, my friend, you'll just have to read the book to find out. Sure, it was a little cheesy and predictable at times...but I love cheese! Well...if it's the right kind at least. And trust me, this was definitely the right kind. Honestly, if you're a fan of those classic teen 80's movies (John Hughes, especially) you'll love this book.

When It Happens Susane Colasanti Books Reviews

Sara and Tobey are great characters and I really became invested in them. I enjoyed the romance and it was a good escapist book for a few days.
My issue is that there are two plot points that are a bit much Tobey does a 180 on going to college just to impress a girl and Dave ends up being a really bad person. I get that most girls have a fantasy at one point or another that they can change a boy, either turn the bad boy into a better man or change the slacker into someone who lives up their potential, but it's not very realistic that a senior who is sure college is not for him will suddenly decide that he must go to college just because of a crush/girlfriend. Plus, it usually bugs me when the guy who needs to get dumped for the "perfect" couple to get together ends up being a real jerk - he wasn't the right guy, ok, it's part of the plot. But I don't like it that the author feels the need to make him a bad guy - plus it ruins the suspense aspect of the "will they or won't they" in the romance.
As a senior in high school, good girl Sara hasn't ever experienced true love. Her aim is to find it before she graduates. She thinks she has it in Dave, and they even start dating. But then Tobey comes along. Tobey is everything Sara isn't a slacker, who has a solid C in each and every class. But Tobey is convinced Sara is The One, and so he tries to win her over. But Sara may not be so easily convinced.

When It Happens is magnetic. It's not often that an author comes along who can write from both the points of view of a guy and girl in such a way that is believable and authentic to readers, but Susane Colasanti pulls it off with ease. When It Happens is confident, and peppered with the things that make up teenage life in America today the dropped swear words, the thoughts about sex, and that quick and sharp humor, but is not overdone. The alternating points of view give this story just the right amount of suspense and variety, and the characters' unfailing raw honesty make this a novel to remember as two teens strive to discover their soul mates, and chronicles that exhilarating, amazing feeling when it happens.

This is not a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Nothing really bad happens in this story and I don't mind that one bit. I like that it is just a mellow teenager book. Tobey and Sara's something real, in my opinion, does not revolve around sex like some of the other comments have said. Yes there is sex and yes a good portion of the book talks about whether or not they will have sex, but that is not the nucleus of the love story. I don't advocate teen sex or anything like that, but from my high school experience the topic of who slept with who over the weekend echoed down the halls until the next weekend. Their something real is about them clicking. They listen to each others music, he knows her favorite movies and scenes, she inspires him to get good grades and go to college, they like mustard on their onion rings....which is gross..., but that is their something real.
