My Thoughts

Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it’s a civil war the football team versus he soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her Quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight or haze a freshman. And on three separate occasions Randy’s car has been egged a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend’s attention.

Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all. She and the other player’s girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys wont get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don’t count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against- boy’s showdown that hinges on who will save to their libidos first. And her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys? Lissa never it coming. In this hilarious and romantic re-imagining of Aristophanes’’ Lysistrata, the battle of boys against girls is on.

I first heard about this book from a friend and just had to get it after looking into it a bit. That day I got it in E-Book format and was done with it in about 2 hours. I loved it, it was a teenager’s outlook on high school and boys and friendship.

So this book ill give 4/5 stars.

Lissa was a control freak who has major OCD issues. She was beautiful and strong and just set in her way.

Cash….well I would totally like to date him. The school flirt, totally hot but you cant get anywhere with  him. By the end i was inlove.

Randy, well words really cant describe how much I dislike him. He comes off as the nice caring boyfriend but really just is a complete a**.

Chloe, she’s Lissa’s best friend and is known as the school sl*t but really just because she’s honest about her s*x life doesn’t mean she is any of the things people call her. She isn’t ready to settle down with a guy and just knows what she likes, she isn’t mean about it and is a lovely person who would do anything for her friend. She would have to be my second favorite character.

Now down to my final character who happens to be my favorite. Nothing much is said about her but I feel like I must tell people the little bit about her because she is so worth hearing about, Mary. Her name says it all, she’s sweet and young and totally in love with her huge footballer boyfriend. She’s the only girl who is honest about herself. Throughout this book she’s a small role but I just love how caring and sweet and young she is and how she reminds me of that little sister I have to protect from everything bad.

So go ahead and give this book a read because its fun, light and really enjoyable.
