I'll Be Yours by Jenny B. Jones

4.0

This is a beautiful tribute to football, family and first love. Harper O'Malley is the adopted daughter of acclaimed college football coach John O'Malley, whose dark past made her just a tad self-conscious about the people around her. She thinks she has finally found security in Andrew Levin, but a football scandal and a tutoring stint for Ridley Estes makes her rethink her options and to finally face the weight of her past and circumstances. The story is pretty heavy on dialogue, but that is what makes this book a winner. Harper's voice is one of the quintessential teenage girl - she is passionate and determined, yet vulnerable and shows low self-esteem. She makes up her shortfalls with her compassion and honesty, and that is what makes this a pleasant read, as we root for Harper to finally get the happy ending she deserves.
