Maybe they are trying the imply that the hero is sexy? I don't know.

The synopsis sounds like some NA novels I know, but then this one is YA friendly so it's like a more teen-friendly version of those kind of books.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-72088075166594240102018-07-30T15:13:38.894-04:002018-07-30T15:13:38.894-04:00I was kind of sad to see Nick was not a fan, becau...I was kind of sad to see Nick was not a fan, because I really liked it. The heroine is a bit angsty, but she had just been dumped and made to move to a new place and a new school her senior year. So, i gave her some leeway there. She grew by the end, and I was fully vested in the romance.Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-9720219670194088582018-07-30T13:42:47.770-04:002018-07-30T13:42:47.770-04:00Just when I think I'm over YA you review an aw...Just when I think I'm over YA you review an awesome book and change my mind. This sounds like such a brilliant read and it involves sport, I'm a sucker for any books which features sports and I don't even like them! This sounds like exactly the type of YA I'd love, I may not read as much YA as I used to but this is one I am adding to my TBR after your wonderful review.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-84583588132613997402018-07-29T14:19:08.928-04:002018-07-29T14:19:08.928-04:00This definitely delivered more than I expected.

A lot of YA books have romances, but they most do not have the same romantic quality of NA and adult romances. This one did. The romance was really the central focus, and everything else was secondary to that.
