 Jordan Woods has always been one of the boys. When she's a senior, she's made it to the star/captain quarterback of her high school football team. Her teammates respect her and she's a natural born leader. Her dad is a professional football player, her brother plays football in College and her own dream has always been to play football in college too. In fact she has her heart set on one college in particular, that of Alabama. For that to happen, she can't afford losing her focus, though, as she wants to get in on an all-ride scholarship. Enter the new - hot - QB, Ty Green, who make her knees go all wobbly etc. etc. Anyway, there's a romance triangle going on with her best of best friends Sam Henry - who she considers as her brother. Except he's not, of course, and she's the only one who hasn't noticed he's been in love with her since forever. Ooooooh... didn't see that one coming, right? 
 Anyway, wow. Not as in "wow, what a great book this was", but "wow, this actually got published?" Let's see... shallow characters? Check! Under-developed plot? Check! Double standards? Check! But what takes the icing on the cake though, was the amateur writing! Seriously, the dialogues in this book: cringe-worthy bad. A story doesn't even have to be the most original, but if the writing is as bad as is here, you've completely lost the cat! And what's with all the tears and the crying?? 
 So, never mind that the plot is a dime a doze (I mean, why even mention that Ty's family got into a car crash, when you're no actually going to develop that whole plot thread?), and that you see things coming from a football field away, the absolutely worst part of this book are the double standards. In a book that so overtly wants to overturn (gender) stereotypes, it does nothing but reinforce them. First, Jordan doesn't see why people see the girl first and the football player second. But at the same time she's the first to say that cheerleaders are all dumb bimbos. Also, they're considered sluts when they sleep around, but when her buddies on the team do the same thing, they get off with a mere eye-roll? Insert eye-roll here... 
 Anyway, there are so many different things that are just so wrong with this book. Ty. Ugh, so he's the hot new QB, falls for Jordan, she does the same instantly (just because of his great pecs, no doubt). He gets all control-freak on her (You have to pick up your phone! I have to know where you are!) and she doesn't even call him on it? Jordan and Ty get at it faster than you can say bingo despite the fact she's stayed a virgin for so long, but the first hot bod to come in and she throws herself at him? Decides she does actually "love" her best friend Henry, yet keeps on sleeping with Ty? And it's the cheerleaders who are the sluts? Then she goes on about the whole "there should be more than sex"? Hypocrite much?
