Whose house is this? This is Ginger Scott's house!! 
 Every time I pick up a Ginger Scott book I think the same thing...I can't possibly love it more than the previous Ginger Scott book. But you know what? This author proves me wrong every single time. Every book is better than the last...every story touches me more deeply...every hero wins my heart unconditionally. Ms. Scott has once again delivered a book that tore my heart open and forced me to see the world in a different way. This is a story of survival, of dealing with bias, of overcoming cultural and economic differences, and of how difficult life can sometimes be...no matter who you are. But it's also a story of hope, of strength, of perseverance, of family, of brotherhood, and of love. So, as I've done in the past...and will probably do again in the future...I have to admit that this in now my favorite Ginger Scott book. 
 At its most basic level, this is a book about football and how it brings together a girl and a boy from different sides of the tracks. But that description does not do it justice. The intensity with which this story is told and the passion with which it was obviously written elevates it beyond other stories of its kind. As always, the writing is brilliant. Ms. Scott carefully crafts each thought and selects the most perfect of words to convey the feelings she wants the reader to experience...and experience them we do! 
 I suppose I should tell you that I loved both Reagan and Nico. Each struggled with their own burdens but together they were strong. Nico was a hero from the very beginning of this book...the way he dealt with a very difficult life, the way he loved his family, and the way he strived for more and worked to get what he wanted all made him an amazing character. Reagan, often overlooked by her family, had a fierce need to do what was right and to become something more. Although each had the right to use their circumstances as a crutch, it was wonderful to see that, instead, they used it as motivation to make things better. And even though I don't fully understand either of their worlds, at least, none of this is my current reality, their strength, their tenacity, and their bond spoke deeply to me. 
 By now I'm sure that you've guessed that I liked this story very much and you're probably sick of my gushy flailing. So I'll just end this very simply by saying... 
 This book is something special...do yourself a favor and experience it!
