Let me start this review by saying I read this book last earlier this week and since then, I've read it all the way through twice and my favorite parts more than that. 
 Jockblocked is really a simple story of a football player and the girl he falls for. Matthew Iverson is a star on and off the field. He doesn't have any trouble getting girls to throw themselves at him, but after seeing his roommate Knox fall in love, Matty wonders what he's missing. He gets a taste of that when he meets Lucy, and falls hard for her. 
 I loved Lucy. She's studious, focused and every decision she makes is based on her own personal risk assessment. She doesn't think Matty is a good risk at all, and she denies her own attraction to him to stay in the safe zone. But Matty isn't a quitter (loved that about him) and he works hard to get Lucy's attention. 
 Matty takes on the task of wooing Lucy, and this part of the book was really awesome. Lucy gets to the point where she just can't resist him anymore. 
 Complications arise when Matty's football coach directs him to do something involving his teammate, Ace, who just also happens to be a good friend of Lucy's. This provides some big tension to the story. Things with this situation don't resolve until the end of the book and the way it concludes was unexpected and at times heartwarming. 
 There's nice supporting characters in Jockblocked too. Lucy's roommates are true friends, and Matty's buddy Hammer put a smile on my face. There's a couple of really awesome scenes with the football team near the end of the story that I loved too. 
 At first it seemed like Jockblocked is a very simple story... boy falls hard for girl, they face some challenges, etc...but it was more than just that. Jen Frederick's strength is delivering a story that really makes you want to stand up and cheer for the characters. She beautifully portrays some very basic emotions that immediately connect me to her characters. That's what keeps me re-reading and coming back for more.
