Courtesy of Teens Read Too
When her senior year starts, Sara's attention is focused on college and on Dave. Dave is a new student and a popular athlete, and Sara thinks he may just be a candidate for the "something real" she wants to find. Tobey, however, is focused on his music and on Sara. He wants Sara to fall in love with him (as he is in love with her, despite the fact that the two are not close), but unfortunately he's got Dave as competition.

Despite Sara's attraction to Dave, Tobey and Sara are obviously meant to be together. They're almost unrealistically compatible, having even the little things--such as how they eat their onion rings--in common. Even more importantly, they both want the same thing. They're both searching for "the one," a soulmate, what Sara calls "something real"--could they find it in each other? Even if they do, there are still some obstacles. Tobey and Sara want different things from their futures, but can they overcome that?

WHEN IT HAPPENS is a wonderful story told in the fresh voices of Tobey and Sara. It's a romance, certainly, but there's more to it than that. Tobey and Sara are fantastic, likeable, and believable characters, with lives outside of each other, which adds an extra dimension to what would otherwise just be one of a million cheesy romance novels, but is instead a wonderfully written and almost too-good-to-be-true story of two teenagers looking for love.

Loooooooooove it.
This story is a love story about Tobey and Sara, he's a slacker wannabe musician and by the way he was described he sounds freakin' hot to me and she's super intelligent and of course she's beautiful.

I think this is a beautiful love story because it's about two people headed in two completely different directions that just spontaneously collide and make sparks fly and end up realising they have so much in common and inveitably fall in love not just any kinda love but a 'mean to be' kinda love.

This is like my favorite book right now I've read it atleast 3 times after I first did.
