When It Happens is the perfect easy-read, beach book for the love struck teenage girl. The author, Susane Colasanti is a high school teacher and hears the language and sees the motions of teens daily. The dialogue is realistic, using slang such as "mad" and "like." Her characters are multi-layered with multiple issues from college, grades, parents, cliques and school events; the problems her characters experience are extremely real and relatable, unlike the drama shown in Gossip Girl.
I really enjoyed this book because I needed a break from all the serious and deep-thinking Jodi Picoult books and others similar. When It Happens is a fun romance and proves that if you truly care for something or someone and have motivation to work for what you want and look to then anything can happen. Colasanti gives teenage girls (and guys) the courage to believe and hope for what may seem to be the impossible, "When you find something real, everything else falls into place. . ."
