This story has a somewhat more serious feel than the previous two. That's not to say that it doesn't have its truly funny moments, or that it's not as swoon-worthy as the other two (it totally is!).
But the stakes seem to be higher - at least for Grant - and so it's at least sort of understandable that he pulls some jerk moves. (The ensuing prank war has its moments, though!)
I like how Alex handles the adversity, and how she manages to win pretty much everyone over in the end.
Bonus points for Lucas and Casey, and of course for the other Tomboys. :)
One of my favorite quotes: “To hell with my heart. Alex Prince might stomp it to pieces, but maybe that's what hearts were made for.”
Le sigh.
Fun Sporty HS Romance. Fun and light, this book has been - along with its predecessors in the trilogy - a nice change of pace from the more “serious” books I've been reading of late, and this is one of the reasons I love this style of tale. Fair amount of angst here - these are teens we're dealing with - and some pretty awesome pranking going on in this particular book. Overall it stays true to everything about the tale, even including a healthy respect for baseball and its traditions. Truly a great book, and now I have yet another new author to follow. Very much recommended.
