Fantastic Fiction Book Description
Most high school sports teams have
rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it's a civil war: the football
team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her
quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight with
the soccer team or to prank their locker room. And on three separate occasions
Randy's car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is
done competing with 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 players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The
boys won't 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-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos
first. And Lissa never sees her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys,
Cash Sterling, coming.
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
EBook 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.
