First Down by Grace Reilly
emotional
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
Since I haven't been able to watch much of football season, this was a nice taste of it--minus all the mid game advertisements haha.
It's a fun book--3.5 stars cause it's fun but I'll probably never read it again.
Fake Dating to I Love You. Throwing the National Championship to prove a point.
Really enjoyed Beckett as a female character's name. Reminded me of being down South and the naming practices (wouldn't have expected it for a NY born and raised character).
The Callahan family is fun minus the dad Richard. Love Sandra the mom, she knows what's up.
Darryl was an ass. Hope he got expelled or suspended.
Interested to see how much more of Bex and James we'll see in the rest of the series.
