I recommend Front and Center. 
 ...3 books in the Dairy Queen series. All of them, I rated 4 stars. It's not that amazing, but I have a soft spot for them - I really liked the series. :) D.J. Schwenk's life adventures in Red Bend, Wisconsin are so good (and sometimes fun) to read! There are times when I thought the plot was too simplistic for a contemporary book. Maybe it's Murdock's writing that got to me. She wrote in a way that the characters are real people to me: their issues are my issues, D.J.'s family is my family. =) Front and Center finally gave what D.J. needs - it might not be what she initially thought she wants, but it worked out for her in the end. So nice! 
 D.J. grew up, from The Off Season until Front and Center. I wanted to pat her in the back and say, "that's my girl." I've been cheering for her since Dairy Queen, and she did not disappoint. D.J.'s character might be slow to adapt, coward to a fault, but she emerged victorious in this final book. These simple, little victories she had from her family, from Brian, from sports - inch by inch she realized that she can change, and make a difference for those she loves - by speaking up. 
 Front and Center's ending was hopeful, and funny too. I would've love to see more of Brian getting his ass kicked by D.J., but I think it would've defeated the purpose of the book: that before you can share your life (and love) to other people, you need first to reach out, live your life, and embrace your family - no matter how imperfect and crazy they were. =)
