"There's only so much waiting a person can endure until they start thinking that maybe nothing exciting will ever happen to them. Like, ever." Marisa hopes sophomore year will spice up her life. It does--in the form of hottie Derek. Complications ensue when geeky "old soul" Nash shows interest. Though the story's setup is unimaginative, readers may relate to Marisa's plight.
