City Love

City Love by Susane Colasanti, 325 pages

Three girls who are roommates for the summer before their freshman year of college in New York City all have secrets and are all looking for love.  Sadie is a New York girl, born and bred.  She's still living in the same neighborhood as her parents but was so eager to move out that she didn't even do her laundry before she left.  She has an internship and has met the most amazing man there.  He seems just as into her and she's sure he's her soul mate.  Darcy is a rich California girl who took a year off before starting school.  She's taking classes during the summer to try to make up for some of the previous year.  She was also just dumped by the boy that she was convinced was her soul mate.  Now she's determined to just have fun and not start any serious relationships, until she meets a cute street performer who seems to be perfect for her.  Rosanna is from Chicago.  She's working at a day camp for the summer and wants to become a social worker and change the world, a little at a time.  When she meets a wealthy man at a party for the counselors, she can't believe that he's interested in her or that she's interested in him.  His values are completely different from hers, but she's falling for him anyway.  This book was a completely light, fun story, even with the small, but real, problems presented.  And I loved it, probably way more than I should.
