firstly, the plot. lilah montgomery is a household name in country music now, a singer - songwriter who is headlining her first big tour this summer .
winlock harbor - or
the locks
- is the place to be. grayson, mike, ian are anticipating their next summer filled with fun and flings .
a witty, sexy comedy which cleverly balances gay cynicism with old - fashioned romance, slutty summer tells of one young gay guy' s adventures in steamy new york city. lanky blond marcus (writer - director casper andreas) gets a sudden reality check in gay fidelity after catching his lover in bed with another. picking up the pieces, marcus gets a job at a restaurant where he is befriended by a group of lovelorn waiters who school him on re - entering the dating scene. taking the advice of
sleeping around
as the best medicine, marcus tries his luck but quickly falls for pouty - lipped coworker tyler, who' s definitely not good dating material .
i picked this up for two main reasons: 1) it looked like a fun summer read, and 2) it gave a male pov twist to the typical summer romance. the premise of the story is pretty simple, three guys who spend every summer together spending the last one before they move onto the next stage of life. grayson is a football prodigy who' s injured arm may cost him his scholarship to vanderbilt. ian has just lost his dad, a sergeant in the military who never made it back. mike is planning on leaving the island
i' ve never read anything from this author before, but i liked this book. just picked it up at target while browsing their book section. it looked like a good summer read. a bit predictable, but still entertaining. 3 boys, now graduated from high school and spending the summer at winlock harbor, where they all met 12 yrs. ago when they were all six. grayson: he' s visiting for the summer, but the once talented football star got into a car accident and his arm will never be the same. his parents spl
4 and a half stars! did someone call for a kickass friendship, a perfect romance, and a summer spent on a music tour! you know what i look for in a summer contemporary? light, fun, and friendships. you know what this book had? all of the above and more. for me i can' t look past a strong female friendship in ya and open road summer has the perfect bff' s. reagan and dee are funny, loving and true to each other, no matter what happens these two will stick together because together they are unstoppabl
kidding. a singer i am not. but there are definitely some talented singers in open road summer. reagan o’neill is ready to spend the summer with her best friend, leaving the last tumultuous year behind her. her best friend dee, is none other than country superstar lilah montgomery which means they will be touring the country by bus as lilah puts on concert after concert. lilah herself is nursing a broken heart so their girls only tour is needed by both. but ‘girls only’ is put on hold when matt
admittedly, i' m a little confused by the hype surrounding open road summer. lord' s debut is striking, distinctly flavorful in its focus on strong female friendships, diversity, and prickly heroines. nevertheless, the glowing five - star reviews around the blogosphere left me with an intangible wanting when it came to the end of this novel. open road summer is a debut i wouldn' t hesitate to thrust upon readers, particularly those looking to bridge the gap between ya and na, but a perfect novel it i
review also posted at young adult hollywood. open road summer started out great and i thought was headed for 4 star read. one of the things that lured me in is dee and reagan’s friendship. it reminded me of lissa and rose from vampire academy…that’s how strong their bond is but still not the same. open road summer is a sweet read and has something to offer. however, what turned me off is the protagonist reagan, who terrorizes anyone that has a female anatomy that isn’t her best friend (dee) who w
3. 5 stars it' s not often that i read a ya novel from a male perspective or three male perspectives to be precise. this novel drew me in with its summer island locale (think martha' s vineyard) and its carefree vacation atmosphere. it' s the story of three young men right on the cusp of adulthood. mike, ian, and grayson have been best friends for twelve years. mike lives on the touristy island year round while grayson and ian come every summer. their friendship ties and traditions keep them bound to
wow this book was horrible. like really really really bad. like the worst book i’ve forced myself to finish in a long time. i read a sort of sad book earlier today so i figured i needed to read some kind of lighthearted summer ya book to get my spirits up, and this was not it. this book is supposed to be about three best guy friends in summer, but it’s more like three guy friends who only still talk because they’re each other’s only friends on the island. i mean, they don’t actually ever talk. the
this is a book that i' ll forget all about it in a matter of minutes, but it was exactly what i was looking for in the moment. this is that easy, quick, perfect summer read sure to entertain, but not covering new ground or provoking many thoughts .
a special thanks to lauren over @ love is not a triangle for lending me her arc copy! look. three stars does not = bad for me. i like my three - star books. i have mostly fond memories of them. but rating open road summer three stars? like a punch to the gut. in this case, three stars means disappointing. it means in no way did this live up to my five - star expectations. i don' t think there was anyone who was looking forward to open road summer more than me. i felt like i was practically begging lau
i was provided an arc of boys of summer by: jessica brody in exchange for an honest review from raincoast books. my review: i haven' t been reading much young adult reads lately due to the fact nothing really pulled me in and the fact that i' ve been going hard reading erotic romance doesn' t help (shh, don' t judge me) but then i found out one of my fave ya writers had a new book coming out and it was on like donkey kong lol. jessica brody' s books have always been a + in my book and boys of summer did
this is the kind of books that i could read every day (and i' m guilty of doing that sometimes). it' s just so cute and sweet and it leaves my with a giddy feeling for the rest of the day, which is the perfect cure for sad rainy days. although this is definitely a summer book, i loved reading it in september, just before it gets really cold, because it reminded me of the last couple of weeks. lilah and reagan' s summer sounds amazing, even though it' s only because of lilah' s fame that they get to r
i can never get enough of jessica brody books! grayson, mike, and ian are my new book boyfriends! each one has something to add to a relationship, but i have to say i love mike. very cute summer read with more strong characters and plots that don' t just have romances .

unfortunately, everything doesn' t go exactly as planned. mike' s longtime girlfriend, harper, breaks up with him at the beginning of summer. ian' s father has recently passed away, and grayson is still suffering phantom pain from an old injury. also, grayson' s mother walked out on the family, so he tends to hold resentment for that, also .
welcome to winlock harbor… best friends since they were kids, grayson, mike, and ian were hoping for another epic summer on “the locks”, filled with clam bakes, bonfires, and late - night swims in the ocean. but that was before ian’s dad never returned home from his last deployment. before mike had to take on more responsibility in order to help provide for his family. befor
boys of summer was a little challenging for me ever since i picked it up. when i started reading this book, it wasn' t exactly the book i was looking for. in this book, the author creates a story with different perspectives of teenage boys. the concept that threw me off was that, each chapter was a new perspective and i felt like the chapters weren' t introduced well enough at the beginning to know who was talking. so basically i would start a new chapter and say to myself ,
okay, i think this is grayson talking
, but then there was that one large hint that it wasn' t him / her and you had to go back and rethink the entire mental picture in your head. this book definitely got me ready for swimming, tanning, perfect weather, flip flops and surf boards, basically everything that describes summer. although it did meet my genre expectation of a fiction book generally about teens, it was still a difficult book to understand for me. if you' re one that likes teen stories and you just absolutely love summer, along with constant changing perspectives, this may be a book you want to look in to .
another hit from jessica brody! here' s what i loved most about boys of summer: - it spotlights male friendship! (which is entirely too uncommon in ya) - it takes place in a beach town, but not every character is an uber - rich tourist. some of the characters are locals, and economic struggles play a key role in the storyline. - not every character chooses to attend a four - year university after high school—the characters have diverse career ambitions, all of which are treated as equally valid choices. - it' s different from brody' s previous contemporary novels (it deals a bit more with heavy, hard - hitting emotions), but she pulls it off well. i' m a huge fan of her writing, and boys of summer further cemented my appreciation .
welcome to winlock harbor… best friends since they were kids, grayson, mike, and ian were hoping for another epic summer on “the locks”, filled with clam bakes, bonfires, and late - night swims in the ocean. but that was before ian’s dad never returned home from his last deployment. before mike had to take on more responsibility in order to help provide for his family. before grayson’s accident left him with an injured throwing arm and an uncertain future. it’s clear this summer on the island is shaping up to be very different from those grayson, mike, and ian have come to rely on. and when the sacred code of dating a friend’s sister or ex is broken, it will push their friendship to the absolute limit, testing their loyalties in a way that could either break them—or save them .
after breaking up with her bad - news boyfriend, reagan o’neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways behind... and her best friend, country superstar lilah montgomery, is nursing a broken heart of her own. fortunately, lilah’s 24 - city tour is about to kick off, offering a perfect opportunity for a girls - only summer of break - up ballads and healing hearts. but when matt finc
* 4 feelgood stars *
i think it' s the bravest thing in the world - to run straight at love, even knowing how badly you could get hurt. ” well, what more can i say other than' i loved this!'. i' m really into summery reads these days, probably because summer is over and i' m missing it already lol. review coming soon !
jessica brody' s latest is a swoonworthy read teens are sure to love! told in three alternating pov' s, three best friends are reunited for the summer with potentially explosive results as the secrets that they hold between them threaten to tear their friendship apart. although romance abounds, each of the boys is grappling with some serious personal issues that give the novel substance and depth and will keep readers turning the pages .
after breaking up with her bad - news boyfriend, reagan o’neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways behind... and her best friend, country superstar lilah montgomery, is nursing a broken heart of her own. fortunately, lilah’s 24 - city tour is about to kick off, offering a perfect opportunity for a girls - only summer of break - up ballads and healing hearts. but when matt finch joins the tour as its opening act, his boy - next - door charm proves difficult for reagan to resist, despite her vow to live a drama - free existence. this summer, reagan and lilah will navigate the ups and downs of fame and friendship as they come to see that giving your heart to the right person is always a risk worth taking. a fresh new voice in contemporary romance, emery lord’s gorgeous writing hits all the right notes .
after reading both of her books in the span of three days, i can officially say that emery lord is a new favorite author of mine. i loved the start of me and you, and to my delight, open road summer was just as amazing. i loved the friendship between dee and reagan, and the added aspect of dee' s fame was really interesting and different to read. i think we can only hope to have a friendship like theirs. reagan was really dealing with a lot of hard things throughout this novel, and so seeing her journey from being closed up and angry to letting herself go was really beautiful. of course, i loved matt (he' s basically perfect? ?) and that he and regan dealt with the hard things in their lives together, one helping the other. i say this is a perfect summer read, so if anyone hasn' t hopped on the bandwagon yet, now is the perfect time! !
boys of summer was a breezy and mostly enjoyable summery contemporary but the major problems i had with two of the protagonists stopped me from enjoying the book as a whole. grayson: i wish i had liked grayson more than i did but i struggled to empathise with him. he was responsible for so many of his own terrible decisions that it was hard to feel sorry for him, especially when he kept lying to his friends when he knew that waiting to tell them would make it worse. i just wanted him to stop his
* * 2. 5 stars * * this story should have been a bit more concentrated on the beautiful, wonderful and admiring friendship that lilah (famous singer) and reagan (main character + lilah’s best friend) share than on the oh so annoying / cheesy / frustrating romance and drama. it’s summer and lilah’s kick off tour around 24 city of the us of a is starting. reagan is participating as well since these last few months weren’t easy for her. the relationship between her and her latest boyfriend didn’t end up well
reagan' s best friend is lilah who is a country music star. she tags along in her summer tour visiting all the different cities and venues along with her very best friend. they' re both nursing broken hearts because they recently broke up with their boyfriends and the tour is a much needed distraction. when a publicity sham goes awry, lilah brings her good friend matt who is also a singer to be her opening act and together they pretend they' re dating when in reality matt' s eye is on reagan herself
open road summer was a library read right before bea14 for me. it stuck with me totally - it was one of those books i just didn' t want to end, where every page there was a moment that made me suck in my breath because it was so perfect. interestingly, i remember chatting in a line with another blogger, and discussing how she couldn' t deal with the slut - shaming. so when i came home, i started writing this review, and i realized that i needed to address this .

5 words: music, fame, family, friendship, love. this was a sweet little listen. i liked the narrator' s performance, she really brought the characters to life. although it didn' t really push any boundaries or challenge me in any way, this was quite enjoyable and ticked all of the right boxes for a summer read / listen. it was easy to dip in and out of, easy to like some of the characters. i loved how friendship was explored, and all of the little nuances in the writing that showed the relationships .
i was a second away from buying this. to say i was heavily disappointed by this is an understatement, but maybe i was expecting too much. look at the blurb. clambakes and bonfires and seashells and late - night swims in the ocean. the synopsis makes it seem like an absolute blast, and it really isn' t. winlock harbor - or

hoorah post, i decided to reread open road summer to make me happy and to hopefully break the pit feeling in my stomach i' ve had that i' m outgrowing young adult books. however, after rereading this book, i felt absolutely nothing reading it again compared to the first time. the rating for this one went down from a four and a half star rating
2. 5 stars i am feeling rather divided about boys of summer. i really like the idea of it, and in many ways i liked the plot. well, mostly anyway. i love that each of the guys is at a turning point in life and each of them have to overcome some difficulty. i also really liked how they fixed things between them. but i am not a fan of the writing style. first of all this is written from the pov of the three male mcs. they are supposedly all quite different, but they all sound exactly the same. so muc
i was really into the first 1 / 3 of this book and thought i' d give it 4 - 5 stars for sure, but the main character really ruined it for me. i almost want to give it 2 stars after the ending. reagan' s best friend dee is a country singer so she goes on tour with her for the summer. it' s basically like taylor swift + her best friend abigail, and their friendship was easily my favorite part of this book. then this joe jonas figure joins the scene as the opening act and a cute story unfolds. actually, no
huge up - side: nobody gets raped. seriously, looking at this cover, i was sure somebody was going to get raped. i' ve just gotten sucker - punched too many times by the idyllic cover and the title that could mean anything, and then there' s a party and it' s veronica mars walking home with her shoes in her hand all over again. but not here. so whew! gr 8 - up - - it’s gearing up to be another perfect summer in winlock harbor, the only town on a tiny northeastern resort island. grayson, ian, and mike are lo
wow this book was horrible. like really really really bad. like the worst book i’ve forced myself to finish in a long time. i read a sort of sad book earlier today so i figured i needed to read some kind of lighthearted summer ya book to get my spirits up, and this was not it. this book is supposed to be about three best guy friends in summer, but it’s more like three guy friends who only still talk because they’re each other’s only friends on the island. i mean, they don’t actually ever talk. they just force each other to go to parties and drink even though none of them want to. they each keep secrets, no one asks each other how they’re doing (even though one guys dad died and another guys mom left their family and another guy is feeling pressure from having to support his family). i mean, they don’t talk at all. instead, they each lie to and betray each other. like one guy starts hooking up with his best friends ex girlfriend of six years? ?? like the day after she breaks up with him? ? and another guy starts hooking up with his friends sister? ?? ?? and it’s like, why is everyone so shitty? ?? ?? ? worst. book .
5 words: music, fame, family, friendship, love. this was a sweet little listen. i liked the narrator' s performance, she really brought the characters to life. although it didn' t really push any boundaries or challenge me in any way, this was quite enjoyable and ticked all of the right boxes for a summer read / listen. it was easy to dip in and out of, easy to like some of the characters. i loved how friendship was explored, and all of the little nuances in the writing that showed the relationships. i can understand reagan being difficult to like, but i thought she was a fantastic character. also music is one of my bookish catnips. i will definitely read more by this author. i just feel that this could have been more .
this book took me over a year to finish simply because my first year of college completely distracted me. i was too busy trying to make connections and then there came a point where i just wanted to live life more fully. basically i had been in the longest reading slump of my life. i still picked up books here and there but i couldn' t bring myself to read more than just a few pages. with that being said, i' m glad i was able to finally have the time to sit down and finish this book. i really enjoyed it because it' s a pretty light read and the characters are easy to like. i developed a hate / love relationship with the character harper and then there were moments where i didn' t care much for grayson either. but overall i' m glad that i did read this book. it was a really nice summer read. oh and one of the twins from the book is named jasper and coincidentally my new dogs name is jasper. i guess that name just stuck with me .
2. 5 stars i am feeling rather divided about boys of summer. i really like the idea of it, and in many ways i liked the plot. well, mostly anyway. i love that each of the guys is at a turning point in life and each of them have to overcome some difficulty. i also really liked how they fixed things between them. but i am not a fan of the writing style. first of all this is written from the pov of the three male mcs. they are supposedly all quite different, but they all sound exactly the same. so much that when i put the book down i had to check who' s pov i was reading, each and every time. in general though, i kept expecting somehow more... of something. i felt that the boys came out a bit flat. even if there was character growth. the girls were really stereotyped. i still like the end and i like the idea, i think i kept hoping for something epic like stand by me. . you know something that is seriously deep and profound. and this while it is interesting and sweet, it' s doesn' t dig deep enough for that. somehow this felt like it is not a cute and fluffy but it doesn' t manage to hope into serious territory either. hence i am sitting on the fence. mostly feeling like this should have been somehow more .

i give this 4 stars because i think it' s just wonderful that people with no acting ability whatsoever have been given an opportunity to showcase their talents. also, high kudo' s to the director because finally there' s a way to fall asleep with out it being addictive. it' s amazing that these people have been given a vehicle with which to strive strive strive - - - - - okay, never mind - - - i quit - - - - - - - it' s not like i can act or direct .
the story line is typical for gay life. however, the character development is good. good acting, fun stereotypes. real in a way (reminded me of my own life at its essence). the movie keeps you entertained, laughing at times. take ideas from here. it seems to work ...
no fantasied right - wing homophobes can create images and stories that promote homophobia like homosexuals do in gay movies. what a repulsive bunch of characters .
funny. this movie was empty. a bunch of whores. unfortunately markus, who is decent, falls in with the trash, which lends credence to the sage adage you sleep with dogs, you get up with ticks... it' s worth watching to see not what to be .
this was a cute movie, not a great film but it is entertaining and has a good message. after the fun and games eventually we all want one person to love. i enjoyed it, cute, cheesy and cheap .
not only low budget, but low everything else. not sure there even was a story line. lots of skin, but only fairly hot guys. jesse archer lent nothing to this sad attempt at a gay movie about relationships. don' t wast your time .
the two main characters are played by appealing actors. but the story is lame and the directing and art direction are ho - hum. i watched it mostly to see how well it captured the essence of my old neighborhood of 40 years, chelsea .
music was too loud. not sure if there was a message and if there was, i dont know what it was. what were they trying to say? some nice ass shots. seemed amateurish, but actors did a good job .
if you took out the music montages this movie would be about 27 minutes. yes this film has some good looking guys (christos klapsis is on fire hot - i' ll be looking for him in ...
a worthy watch is what earns this movie it' s five stars. perfectly imperfect .
low budget, yes. acting quality is good. story is well done predictable and skims the surface of a broken heart n life .
interesting story, ending is sweet. if you can stand sitting through 1. 5 hours of mostly bad acting .
the movie was light hearted. ok to watch while doing other things or thinking about other things .

lacks the wit necessary to compensate for its stereotypical characterizations and predictable plot elements .
the wooden dialogue and overall shallowness of the writing keep the film from being even an amiable diversion .
the drama is unintentionally humorous, the humor incredibly labored and the acting rarely better than one might find in a chi chi larue xxx production .
the film is a labor of love for casper andreas, who wrote, directed and starred in this first feature. for the actors he has chosen, it' s a labor of lust, with copious necking and grappling required. for the audience, it' s just a labor .
decently acted and briskly directed - - but thoroughly predictable and sometimes achingly sincere .
first - timer casper andreas approaches his subject with the subtlety of a wrecking ball .
that andreas accomplished what he did in just two weeks of shooting is quite remarkable. in the end, there is some fine acting, some great kissing and several good lines .
the plot in this gay - themed romantic endeavor comes across like warmed - up leftovers out of the doggie bag .
an intelligent little film that knows its limitations and makes the most of a shoestring budget .
i loved the design of this book. the margins told you which boy was narrating and had a little picture of a guitar, a surfboard, or a football so you could keep them straight in your mind as you read. such a cool idea. i was right there on the island with them. i think i identify with mike the best. though i could have easily fallen for any of them. this book would be great to read at the beach sitting under an umbrella while you sipped a frosty bottled coke .
this book was so angsty. these three guys really didn' t treat each other well at all, let alone like
best friends .
here' s the thing. we all grow up, make new changes, and grow apart. i' d hate to think that something like the (major climactic moment) would suddenly bring everyone back together again. and even if it did, how long could such a fragile relationship last? i know you can point to the boys' long history of friendship, but we all change. we grow up and we grow apart. heck, grayson men
to say i was heavily disappointed by this is an understatement, but maybe i was expecting too much. look at the blurb. clambakes and bonfires and seashells and late - night swims in the ocean. the synopsis makes it seem like an absolute blast, and it really isn' t .
and in an attempt to avoid his family, ian moves into grayson' s family. because why not? and grayson' s kid sister, whitney, has suddenly grown sexy. the breakup doesn' t slow down mike in the slightest, because he' s soon after a
i couldn' t stand julie. first of all, she was a world - class mary sue. the children love her. she says goodnight to the moon and the stars and the ocean. she looks gorgeous in only khaki shorts and a faded shirt. the epitome of beauty, really. mike was such a double - standard, too. he didn' t want harper moving on, but he was free to flirt with julie however much he wanted .
grayson and heather' s
relationship
was toxic. not that they really had a relationship. i feel like heather was made out to be a villain. a bitter blonde, who only likes shopping. ew. look at her. she hates children. ooh, look at julie. look, how perfect she is .

i' m immediately struck by how different she is from harper. harper, as pretty and free - spirited as she is, always has this kind of heaviness surrounding her. like a gray cloud constantly threatening rain. while this girl is nothing but clear blue skies .
i love whitney. she' s hilarious, but i think we were missing a piece of her backstory .
ian, on the other hand, was a little too creep - ish with her, at first. but if i was forced to choose one of the boys, it' d probably be him .
un libro contado desde la perspectiva de tres chicos con una autora mujer = no. no, no, no. demasiado drama y amor para un libro que daba para muchísimo más. las historias de cada uno se desarrollan en los últimos tres o cuatro capítulos... y mientras tanto tuvimos a los tres histeriqueando con chicas, así que no me parece tan importante como la autora lo deja entrever al final. digo, si no te afectó para ir screwing around with some girls durante las anteriores páginas, por qué lo haría ahora ?
• mc (grayson) is african - american. he has an injured elbow which has caused permanent damage. • sc (whitney) is african - american and in an interracial romance. • mc (ian) is suicidal with grief; possible undiagnosed depression .

ich habe erst zu spät gesehen, dass es sich bei der ausgabe, die ich hatte um eine verlängerte leseprobe handelte (riveted - ausgabe im februar)... daher kann ich nur zu ca. 15% des buches was sagen... . und vormich hingrummeln, dass ich das ende lesen will. da ich aber die regel habe, dass ich für e - books niemals so viel ausgebe, wie für papier - ausgaben, muss ich hier auf meine chance warten... . das buch ist abwechselnd aus der sicht der 3 hauptcharaktere geschrieben. allerdings ändert sich der schreibstil nur minimal, daher ist es ganz gut, dass die überschrift einem den hinweis gibt, wer gerade erzählt. die drei jungs sind seit jahren jeden sommer zusammen auf einer touristeninsel. greyson kommt aus reichen verhältnissen und hat eine großartige footballkarriere vor sich. bis seine mutter die familie verlässt und er einen mehr oder weniger selbstinszenierten autounfall hat, bei dem sein wurfarm verletzt wurde. er spricht allerdings mit niemandem über das thema, erst recht nicht darüber, dass er starke schmerzen hat. er möchte alles vergessen und sich wie jedes jahr mit touristinnen amüsieren. leider steht er sich da selber am meisten im wege. ian lebt auf der insel. sein vater hatte eine unfall und kann nicht arbeiten und mit zwei kleineren geschwistern ist die familie am rande der pleite. nur weil ian geld dazuverdient funktioniert alles noch so halbwegs. natürlich wissen seine kumpels nichts davon. er ist seit jahren mit harper zusammen, deren einziges ziel es ist, so schnell sie kann von der insel zu verschwinden. sie planen eine gemeinsam zukunft in new york. bis sie, einmal wieder, mit ihm schluss macht. allerdings fühlt es sich dieses mal so an, als sei es auch das letzte mal. mike ist der letzte im bunde. sein vater ist von seinem letzten militäreinsatz im sarg zurückgekommen und natürlich ist nichts mehr, wie es war. seine mutter trinkt zu viel und er verschwindet schon ziemlich schnell zu greyson, wo er sich in einem der vielen gästezimmer einnistet und mehr oder weniger schlechte songs auf seiner gitarre komponiert. mike ist der einzige, dessen probleme offen ersichtlich sind und greyson und ian versuchen ihm zu helfen, aber das ist ihm zu viel. alles in allem bin ich gespannt, wie es weiter geht. die verbindungen zwischen den dreien scheinen sich zu dehnen, freundschaften scheinen sich aufzulösen. aber vielleicht endet alles ja doch noch als' bros über hos'. bin gespannt !
i really liked this! i felt like it was more realistic than teen romances usually are - - it wasn' t a perfect
and they stayed together forever, happily ever after
type ending. it really acknowledged that they were teenagers and their paths weren' t really known and there' s no way to tell what would work and what wouldn' t, but it was hopeful and i really liked that .
actual rating 3. 5 stars so this book had an interesting concept. it follows three teen guys: grayson cartwright he' s your typical teen athlete, star quarterback ready to head off to vanderbilt in the fall on a football scholarship. however, an injury from a bad decision could end it all. ian handler your typical artsy guy, spends more time with his guitar than anything else. avoiding his mother during her time of mourning after losing her husband (ian' s father). mike metzler (my favorite) is your
this story intertwines the three lives of high school boys moving into the next stage of life. are the rules the same or are we moving past those days of just playing, now feelings matter, and people are hurt by our games. is there really a
man code
when love is involved? is your ex really off limits and why is your sister so cute now? brody does a great job of making you remember those feelings of that next step after high school and how friends and lives change dramatically .
this book was okay. it didn' t really do anything for me. i thought the premise was really cool, how it switched between three guys' points of view, but the three voices all kind of sounded the same to me. i had to keep checking to remember whose chapter i was reading. the last 40 pages or so were the best for me .
this book was okay. i enjoyed reading it but all the characters read the same to me, all the girls were the same etc etc. it definitely improved towards the end. i didn' t think that writing in a narrative voice of a boy meant being vaguely sexist towards girls lool .
what i really enjoyed is reading from a guy' s pov! it was different .
honestly wasn' t really impressed. the book was okay to read but as i continued to read i just felt like i was waiting for something big. one thing i disliked about is the way the book is written, by the time i was finally getting it and putting two and two together it would change to another persons perspective. i think the author make out the characters poorly and concentrated more one their personal drama instead of keeping them all together. for example i think grayson should have told mike a
