Possibly some of my dislike of this book comes from the fact I have zero understanding of American football (and zero desire to - Australian Rules all the way baby!). A fair criticism would be that I could have picked that up from the cover art and blurb - fair call. I just didn't expect the amou...
Parker was honestly a strong, funny, confident and brazen young woman. A little naïve at times, but her heart was in the right place…mostly. Will was so incredibly sweet. He crept up on me. Though I did feel like he overreacted…Same goes for Drew. Drew was an amazing best friend, dealing with hi...
Miranda Kenneally has managed to write one of the most judgmental, uptight Christian characters in the history of YA in Kate. And to be honest, the depiction of Kate wasn't far off from some of my evangelical Christian compatriots from my high school years. I liked that much of this book was abou...
It was cute.I didn't like the heroine much though. She seemed... self-absorbed and judgmental.

Her confidence in her ability and her preparation made me really admire this aspect of her character...
We meet the guy in the Walmart parking lot—a safe place with lots of lights. “I’ll give you $300 for it,” the man says, eyeing the Suzuki I slaved over for six months, the motorcycle I ride every day. I spent hours working on the fuel line; it took three months to find the...
Before first period, when I walk down the hall, other students say, “Ooh” and “Busted!” like seventh graders. Some guy I’ve never spoken to corners me in the hall. His eyes dart around. “Do you have any Ritalin? I can pay.” I throw my tote bag over ...
