She's kind of uncomfortable around them, she feels like she's intruding, and it takes her pretty much the entire book to get over it. Lauren had a pretty bad experience a little bit before the start of the novel, so she's shipped off to live with her aunt and uncle for a little while. I found that it inspired me and also really made me want to see the movie, When the Game Stands Tall. I wouldn't say that this is a particularly happy book, but I feel like one of the main undertones, and the overall feeling of the book was hopeful. I've never read a book that is written in verse before, but I think that that aspect was one of my favorite parts of it. This book is written in half-verse, with Lauren's chapters written in verse, and Colby's in normal, paragraph format. *Novel provided by Scholastic via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* In alternating chapters, they come together, fall apart, and build something stronger than either of them thought possible-something to truly believe in. Colby is the football hero with a dream of something more. Lauren is the new girl in town with a dark secret.
But when they find each other, everything falls into place.
