Publisher's Summary

Can the quirkiest girl in school win over the coolest guy on the football team?

This is it - Tori’s senior year. Her last chance to leave Nelson High without a bucketload of regrets. Number one priority - get Colt to fall in love with her.

So what if he’s the Raider’s number one playmaker? So what if he’s so far out of her league the idea of them together would rupture the school’s social order? She has to try, before it’s too late.

She’s come up with the perfect excuse to spend more time with him. All Colt has to do is think he’s helping her win over one of his teammates, and in the process he’ll fall madly in love with her. Or will he?

Colt wants one thing: to play football after high school. But his grades are tanking and his dreams of playing college ball are fading…fast. He doesn’t really have time to waste helping out Tori, but they were friends in middle-school and he just can’t turn her down. Besides, how hard can it be to get one of his teammates to notice her?

He’ll help her out, and then he’ll focus on what’s really important: football…assuming he can stop thinking about the last girl who could ever steal his heart.

Entertaining little love story

Completely predictable, but still nice. I enjoyed the dual narration.
Great ending too.
Feel like I’ve seen this story in a movie at least twice.

Very cute!

An adorable sports romance that while has moments that make your heart squeeze, leaves you in the end with a guaranteed HEA! Both Colt and Tori are adorable together when they both have their guards down and it was amazing having an insight into both character's perspective. Both narrators were amazing as well and added so much more description to the characters than what words can do! This book definitely covers the idea of conforming to society and the different groups that it can entail. It's always pretty inspiring when I read a book that does this and shows that the idea isn't such a weird one. I would definitely recommend this book and hope you love it just as much as I do! Enjoy!

Cute Romance

Although very predictable, it was good, clean, fun teenage romance story. Unpopular girl chasing the popular boy of the school. The narrators were suited for the characters.
