I absolutely loved Suddenly You.  This time we get to read about Fanny, the quiet, introverted Asian-American track star. When Fanny first came to the Jane Austen Academy she was NOT happy to be there. Her mom basically forced her to attend because she had a scholarship & it would help ease the financial burdens of being a single mom to a young woman with dreams of Olympic gold. But, Fanny wanted to attend a school with a premier track program in order to pursue her life-long dream, and Jasta did NOT fit that bill.In her third year at the Academy, Fanny begins to come out of her shell. She has always kept to herself and been completely single-minded in her pursuit of her Olympic dream. But as things have begun to change around her, Fanny finds that she doesn't have to pursue her dreams alone. She finds that not only does she have a wonderful group of girlfriends, but there are a few guys that are important in her life too. Guys that become great friends and one guy who is just might be more important than a gold medal.I think this is my favorite book in the series so far. I loved getting to know Fanny - she is such a great character. She really goes through a process of self-actualization that brings an added depth to this book. The other girls grow and change in the previous books also - just not quite to the degree that Fanny does. She truly is a different (and better) person at the end of the book than she was at the beginning. I loved how we learn more about Josh and how he grows too. And then there's Tran! Who wouldn't fall in love with that boy? Of course, it wrapped up all too quickly, but that's how it is with these (and Austen's) books. The book is about the process of getting the couple together, the journey - and it was a great journey!  I look forward to the final books in this series - can't wait to find out about Anne and Emma, not to mention how they manage to save the Academy (I hope)!Source: Received a copy for my honest review
