Cam is looking forward to a great senior year with her boyfriend, Marc, before they both head off to Columbia to start their happily ever after. Her plans are upended when Marc breaks up with her after the first week of school and the guidance counselor informs her that the college of her dreams might be quite a reach. Cam sets out to pad her transcript with extracurriculars and find a new boyfriend to take her to prom. Only, she learns that in her desperation to get a date, she loses herself. She misses hanging out with her friends and exploring her own interests and passions. Maybe she doesn't need a new Mr. Right if she's already good enough on her own.

This was an easy YA read, but I have to say it was kind of boring. The main character was hard to sympathize with because she was SO self-absorbed and ignored her friends when they tried to help her. I will say that she did learn and grown through the book, which I always appreciate, but I wasn't all that invested in Cam because she was pretty unlikeable. None of the supporting characters had much personality and they all kind of blended together. The writing was ok, but it didn't do much to draw me in.

So this one wasn't a hit for me but might be enjoyed by teen readers.

This is an enjoyable, quick YA Romance. It is light, a bit quirky, and very funny in spots. While Cam, the heroine, was a bit annoying at first, she evolved and matured as the book progressed and I was rooting for her at the end. This is my first book by Shani Petroff, but definitely won't be my last. 4 Stars!

I was hoping for a little more of a romance based on the author’s previous novels. However, the message about not being dependent on a boy is an important one and I would want my young teen to connect to the message. Well written and I enjoyed the main character’s friends.

Finding Mr. Better-Than-You started off so good but it fizzled out through the middle. I liked Camryn in the beginning but she complained a lot. I also didn't care for the ending this story was a disappointment.
