Okay, I admit it: I was kinda iffy when it came to Jackson in the first couple of chapters of the book, and that mainly had to do with the guy thinking he had some sort of bonus privileges on campus because of who he was. The driving around with his headlights on bright (I hate it when I encounter drivers like that on the road because they can blind you when you while you're driving) or cutting into line and snagging someone else's food (nope, sorry, I don't care who you are; there's a line--use it like everyone else). Argh! But the more I got to know the guy behind the whole athlete persona, the more I seriously liked him. He was different from the usual college jock--with an insecurity and awkwardness to him that made me want to give him a hug. I also liked Charlie, from what little was told about her because I did feel like I didn't get to know her as much as I did Jackson. There was also the issue with Jackson's father and what Jackson's plans were as far as the draft was concerned that felt unresolved. Jock Road's first three quarters were strong and promising, and I only wish the last part was as strong. It gets four stars. ♥
