About this listen

 A #1 New York Times bestseller

A football star and the quiet new girl at school bond over family troubles in the first novel in a series from bestselling author Abbi Glines about a small Southern town filled with cute boys in pickup trucks, Friday night football games, and crazy parties that stir up some major drama.

To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer.

Two years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn’t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away.

As West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father—so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else.

West expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief, or at least a flood of emotions he couldn’t control. But he never expected the quiet new girl to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own—or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn’t ever let her go… Contemporary Contemporary Romance Depression & Mental Health Difficult Situations Emotions & Feelings Family & Relationships Fiction Literature & Fiction Romance Sports Fiction Sports Heartfelt

I really really hated this book for the way it portrayed the female characters. Apart from the main character, the women of the story are portrayed to be nothing but narcissistic and fake, just toys for the boys to play with. The boys on the other hand, including the main character, are all complete and utter pigs who use women, dispose of them when they feel like it and are worshipped for it. I really liked the idea behind the story, especially Maggie’s mutism, but I came to hate this book the more I read so stopped reading several chapters from the end.

Appauling image of women
