I finished this book Thursday. I had started it a while ago but then got distracted with The Hunger Games series (<3, go check it out!) But then when I had gotten just about halfway through this book, I put down my homework and spent the entire afternoon reading until I finished it. I'm such a sucker for books.
Anyways, this is a book about a girl named DJ Schwenk. She lives on a farm and has to do basically and the work because her mom teaches 6th grade and is currently the acting principal, her dad hurt his hip, her younger brother, Curtis, plays on a baseball team and DJ's two other brothers, Win and Bill, moved out after The Fight that tore their family apart. Brian who plays on Hawley's football team is sent by his coach, a family friend of the Schwenks, to get training from DJ because she knows quite a lot about football and it was her idea he gets a trainer. Win and Bill played for Red Bend, and DJ goes to Red Bend so DJ and Brian have kept training a secret in fear of their rivaling schools and rivaling parents getting mad. This is DJ's story.
I have to say that I really enjoyed this story. Football and farming have a lot to do with it. But if you don't like football, you might still like this book. I hate football and I still love this book. It had a nice plot that made me feel for the characters. I would recommend this to anyone who likes reading about relationships and gets head over heels into books.
I would rate this book a 9/10 because it took me a few tries to get into it although once I did, I was hooked!
