She is very leery of a romantic relationship anyway.Ĭam did get around a bit in high school, but he isn’t the manwhore Avery fears. Cam asks her on a date but she refuses as she believes Cam is a player. Much to her surprise, it turns out that Cam lives in the apartment across the hall and they are soon hanging out together. Fortunately the latter comes back to her quickly. Since an incident five years before, her interaction with others has been limited and requires her to re-learn the whole friendship deal. She’s never had a boyfriend and doesn’t go to parties. Even though he is a college junior, it turns out they share a class, Astronomy 101, and both are late for their first day.Īvery does not care for being the centre of attention and bails on the class. Cam is gorgeous and charming, with startling blue eyes and an easy grin. On the first day of college, Avery literally runs into Cameron Hamilton. The story is told from the first person POV of Avery Morgansten, a college freshman who has moved to West Virginia to be as far away from her family and past associates/former friends as possible. Since Wait for You has a narrator I enjoy, it was really a no brainer. In fact, when one already knows the plot, it can be easier to focus on the narrator’s performance. And, to add to the experience, I also have the narrator’s interpretation of the characters to enhance the listening journey. It’s kind of like a little Easter Egg for me.

I tend to skim when reading so, even when I have adored a book, there are little things I have missed when I turn to the audio version. Provided I’m confident in the narrator and I liked the book in print format, it is usually a success. I don’t often reread, but at times, I do listen to books I have already read.

This can allow an opportunity to experience the story in a different way – to pick up nuances about the plot or characters which may have been missed in the rush to the finish. When one has already read a book (and can remember it – as was the case here) there is not, of course, the same tension and eagerness to find out what is going to happen. I first read Wait for Youin digital format last year but I enjoyed it so much I was happy for the opportunity to review the audio version.
