Y.A #4
You're What I Want
One thing I’ve learned from my best friend Annabelle’s crazy love life is…that I never want one…no matter what.
Seventeen year old, Swim team member for life, Jenna Sabini has only one thing on her mind and it’s swimming. There was no time for silly boys and their mind games, not when her family was struggling to make the mortgage payments on their house, and especially not when she had to compete against the entire country for an athletic scholarship to Florida State University.
As one of the stars on the Royal Heights High School Baseball team, Tom Colleto was used to having every girl swoon at the sight of him, but the moment he locked eyes with the feisty star swimmer, he’s reminded that there was at least one girl in school who was immune to his charms.
This is a mature YA novel.
Contains strong language and sexual scenes.
This is not a standalone.

Friendship - A state of mutual trust and support between friends.....
Do you have a true friendship with someone? Is there someone in your life that truly supports you? Or does it seem only one sided? Well, Jenna is the epitome of what a true friend should be like. She's got your back no matter what. She's your #1 fan. And when your down and out, she'll pick up the pieces. She's strong enough for the both of you. Jenna s someone you want by your side. She's selfless, and I can't help but admire that in her. So, it was a real treat to finally read her story.
We get to meet both of Jenna's parents in this book. We see where she gets this fighting, "I'm a winner, don't doubt my skills " attitude from (her dad). Both of her parents support her. But her dad seems to give her a loving confidence that's just so heart warming and sincere that it makes you smile. Her parents never push her in a forceful type of way. But in a supportive, "I have all the faith in the world for you" type of way. Her parents are her backbone. You can tell she learned her loyalty, faithfulness, and honor from her parents. It was so nice to read. Especially her relationship with her dad.
Jenna has a problem though. All of her friends are becoming obsessed with boys. She doesn't get it. She has no time for boys. Doesn't need or want that type of distraction. She needs to focus on getting a scholarship. So what happens when Tom pursues her?
Will she join the obsessed with boys bandwagon? Or will she stay focused?
Either way, I really enjoyed Jenna's story. It's a clean cut refreshing read, focusing on your first true love. It wasn't overdone or unrealistic. It's a very sweet and charming story.
Then there's Tom. Tom is nothing like James. He's not your typical leading man you always read about. He's not insecure. And he's definitely not afraid to let Jenna take the lead sometimes. Definitely the kind of guy Jenna needs. I'm hoping to read more of Jenna's story. I finished reading it, only wanting more. Great read.

Let's start off saying I like Jenna and Tom. But when you put them together?? There's no connection at all. There's no fist fight that I could of seen with Jenna's attitude or arguments at all. She said she doesn't do love, yet one guy smiles at we and boom. that's love. I love the YA series but not Jenna and Tom. I had high expectations for this book. Overall, it was a cute read.

If you've enjoyed the rest of the series thus far, you'll be in for a treat. This is the book I have been (not so) patiently waiting for.
I feel the author should stick to writing about Jenna a funny, crazy character full of life and relatable. Unlike Annabella who barely stood out as one of the side characters in this version of events.
This book made sense in every way Annabelle's didn't, it depicted a mature romance despite the lack of experience on Jenna's side in the love department . This to me seemed like a perfect balance of sincerity and genuine emotion. Not just boy meets girl fall in passionate love.
My only wish is for the author to write me another Jenna Sabini novel because after reading this I don't think I can continue on the series with just Annabelle as the main character.
*In short* this is the best book of the series

First and foremost i'm a huge fan of the YA series and Sarah you are one of my favourite authors! With that being said i just couldn't really get into this book sorry :( I wish i did but i just felt disconnected from the characters. With Jenna I didn't feel like her passion for Tom was there and it felt like the relationship was forced more than anything. I guess i just didn't really understand why they randomly got together? Maybe i'm too biased and had hoped for more of a tiger and fireball romance. The book tends to jump around alot so i was lost a few times, but maybe i need to re-read it. Overall it's a good side character book with notable section that made me laugh. I'm super excited for the next book and counting down the days for more tiger & fireball action. Thanks Sarah!

I really love this series
This was a real cute story I waited a long time for Jenna and Tom story do I love them as much as Annabelle and James ? No but Jenna and Tom have a nice drama free thing going on and if you read the other Y.A books you know that's not James and Annabelle but Jenna is that girl we all wish we could be or a least have friends like her she is truly a great girl and Tom got to be the nicest young man around he respects her he is the kind guy you want your daughter to bring home . A lot of things go unresolved in this book . So I hope we will be getting more of Jenna and Tom story because this did not seem finish to me . If you have not started this series yet what are you waiting for I can not tell you how much I love these characters .

It breaks my heart to rate a book in this series this low,but I just had a lot of problems with this book. I could never get into Jenna and Tom's romance because the author never got into it either. It was just kinda glossed over,it needed more depth. Jenna wasn't that likable either,and her corny parents kinda got in my nerves. I'll Read the next book because I loved the first three,here's to hoping this one not being very good was a fluke.
