First off, I really enjoyed the characters in Running from Romeo, even if there were moments I wanted to slap them silly. I think that may be the sign of a good book. Getting emotionally involved in their situation and what is going to happen. That being said, this is a cliffhanger. This is a rip-your-heart-out and show it to you cliffhanger. As soon as I finished Running from Romeo, I had to start reading Waiting for Romeo just so I could find out what happened next.Emilia is a senior in college and lives with her best friend, Bryn. I liked Bryn’s attitude and I also liked her pushing for Emilia to live a little in her last year of school. There is a ton of drinking in this book. Drinking at home, drinking in bars, and drinking in clubs. I have to say though, that was definitely true to college life.Logan is the somewhat cocky, totally hot, hotel heir college senior that Emilia has the pleasure of interviewing during one of her school news broadcasts. Let the fun begin.There are sweet moments in the book, Logan can really be romantic. Some of the book is slow-going for me, but are also parts that need to be in there to move the connection forward. It may seem like a long book at over 500 pages, but some of those pages are back and forth emails between Emilia and Logan. Lots of literary references, so you will be able to brush up on your Shakespeare.Diane Mannino writes a story of new love, finding your other half, and then losing love. I had received a copy of this book for my honest review.I liked this book! It was a little slow starting for me, but once it got going I was really into it and it was hard to put it down. The characters are likable. I really liked Bryn, I loved how she was so protective and cared for her BFF Emilia.The relationship between Emilia and Logan was frustrating at times, but I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow.I was not fond of the ending. But, I liked the book so I plan to read the next book. I am interested to see what happens in their relationship after the betrayal that Emilia felt.
