I want my readers to be inspired to find the kind of love they desire and deserve. By having a clear vision of the love you want to find and refusing to settle for anything less, you can find the love of your life, the person who feels like home to you.

Most importantly, you have to love yourself first before you can love anyone else the way they deserve to be loved. When I was in my teens, I thought that if I had a boyfriend I wouldn't be lonely or depressed anymore. But you are the only one who can fill those voids in your life. No one else can complete you. So while my love stories are about epic romances between soul mates, they are also about learning to love yourself.(less)

Quotes by Susane Colasanti  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn't tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, that's all he'll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn't right for you.”
Susane Colasanti, Waiting for You

“I'd rather be weird and happy than normal and miserable.”
Susane Colasanti, Waiting for You

“I want to be the kind of person who can do that. Move on and forgive people and be healthy and happy. It seems like an easy thing to do in my head. But it's not so easy when you try it in real life.”
Susane Colasanti, Waiting for You

Samantha Hey Susane,

I wanted to thank you for your books. I am 13 and i have read all your books. I never really liked reading till one day at my school I saw a poster for new books our school got. I saw your book something like fate on the poster. I checked the book out and finished it in a day and a half. I really enjoy your books and cant wait for so much closer to be available. I hope you keep writing more books.

Your biggest Fan,
Samantha

Thank you, friendly neighbor! I am totally writing more books. My fifth one, So Much Closer, will be out in May 2011.

I was actually an Earth Science and Physics teacher first. I miss connecting with teens every day, but as an author I can connect with lots more readers. Which is a very good thing :)

Milly I just read Waiting For You and totally loved it! I am trying to space your books out and read them sparingly because you've only written 4 so far and I've already read 2 of them! Can you please write more? I really do love your style and your taste in the male species. It must be because you are one smart cookie! Biology teacher in your past life right? Love your work!!! Looking forward to more great reads!


Carmen Thanks for adding me! :)

Your books are fantastic. Your characters are so easy to relate to, and you give them the best names. Plus, I love all the movies and music that you've mentioned in them- especially in When It Happens. =]


Stephanie Hey Susane, thanks for adding me :)
I just wanted to say that I am a big fan of your novels, especially "When It Happens." I just finished reading "Take Me There" and thought it was great read. I am excited for "Wait for Me."
I hope everything is going well and I can't wait for your further writings.
