Publisher Description
***This edition contains 2 ebooks: What My Heart Wants and Waiting For A Fall***
Did I miss a class growing up? You know the kind that teaches you how to deal with teenage heartache and maybe how to avoid it all together?
I could have used the advice.
Desperately.
Senior year wasn’t supposed to be like this for Annabelle Simms. Thanks to James, after having a crazy off/on relationship with him
since school started, it’s been nothing but heartache central.
After confronting James and the popular crew in front of the entire school, things were about to get harder. If she had any hope of surviving the rest of her senior year in one piece, she’d have to ignore what her heart wanted and start listening to her head.
How many times could she say this was the last time before… it was too late?

***Author's Cut Version***

***There is a HEA***
The first time I met James I thought he was an idiot. But the more time we spent together the more I realized that he was just as angry as I was. Him with his dad and me with my mom. He’s got me all twisted, messed up to a point where I barely recognize myself anymore. My best friend tells me to dump him. My parents don’t know he exists. But I can’t seem to stay away. When we’re alone it’s everything, but when we’re at school it’s like we don’t even exist, and I wish he’d tell me why.
Already a star on the Royal Heights High School Baseball team, James Lawson wasn’t your average transfer student. Even with his ‘new guy’ status, he quickly becomes one of the popular ‘Kings’ at school and that alone should have been the red flag Annabelle needed to stay away from him. He’s arrogant, intense, rude and worst of all he seems like the kind of guy that usually gets what he wants. But the more time they spend together the more difficult she finds it to stay away from him, especially with all the stress her mother is causing her concerning her appearance. As if she didn't already have enough to worry about, she finds out that the popular ‘Queen’ of Royal Heights High had her sights set on a certain popular ‘King’. In Donna Tallins eyes, James was her perfect match, but there was one person standing in her way of high school couple stardom. And that was Annabelle.
Customer Reviews
...
I am in high school and most high schoolers don't read much. We think too much about popularity and other crap. I decided one day to buy and book because simply I was bored but as I was scrolling across the ITunes store i found these Young Annabelle books and I finished them all in 5 days. I couldn't put them down. I found myself at 3 am reading about Annabelle and James and wanting to read more but my tiredness and realization that I have to get up in a few hours made me go to bed. This is a MUST read for any girl who likes romance, self-empowerment, and a truly good story.
Gaslighting
This series so far has many red flags and I am concerned that the young adults reading it will think this is normal and acceptable behavior.
- Gaslighting and abusive, possessive behavior: This is not okay. If someone treats your horribly and says, “You’re mine; you belong to me” ...RUN! That’s not love, that’s obsession ... and creepy.
- Eating Disorders: I haven’t finished this book yet but I see Anna heading towards and eating disorder. Plus, the fact that her mom was so freaked out when she was size 12... Hmm. All you readers that are size 12+... love yourself.
Commas and hyphens: There were many missing commas and misuse of underscores (when a character gets cut off when speaking, use a hyphen - not an underscore_).
Okay, all that said, I’m going to continue to read the series, hoping for some major character growth and development.
Could not put it down
This series was so good! Made me laugh cry angry and sad ! I don't want to say too much. But this book is so good !!
