Anyways, my next book is one that I have been trying to finish since the
day I got it, Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles. I wish I could tell you
about all that I have read so far since apparently I'm halfway through
the book, but I honestly can't remember a thing. All I know is that we
have a trouble maker who has to move back to his stepmom's hometown
while his dad is away on some military mission or what not. Our trouble
maker's name is Derek by the way. Then we have our tomboy football
playing leading lady, Ashtyn. She hates Derek's guts that we know of and
her boyfriend slash ex-boyfriend left the team because she ended up
captain and he didn't. What a dick. I think I left off with Ashtyn
asking Derek to go with her to Texas so she can go to this football camp
and Derek is kind of refusing. I think that if they do go on this trip,
some feelings about each other are going to surface and finally
admitted. So until next time.....
I guess being sick in bed has its advantages, in a way. The whole day I
had a grandmother telling my how lazy I am and how I always have
something wrong with me. She's a mean lady, but can't help but love the
woman. Kind of reminded me of Derek's grandma in the book. She is set in
her ways and is willing to do what ever it takes to change her
grandchild into her standards. I didn't think I would read a book that
reminds me of my grans. Shocker. Anyways, I finished the book. I was
already half way through it when I placed it on my bookshelf. So, Ashtyn
and Derek went to Texas. Ashtyn went through hell at football camp and
Derek went through hell with his grandmother. But, Derek ended up
finally telling Ashtyn why he doesn't play football anymore. Of course
that was after the fact that she found out he was some football prodigy.
There was a bit of fighting, both verbal and physical, as you got
closer to the end. Then some love confessions, and even more fighting.
Derek likes to fight a lot. Then the most romantic thing to win the
girl's heart. I also may have almost cried a few times. I couldn't help
it, I'm just emotional like that. Anyways, I liked the book. Sure it was
a little predictable, but you can't help but be drawn into it. If I
could, I'd give the book four and a half stars. But I can't, so it has
to be given four stars. Sad face. But, its a good book and I recommend
you to go read it if you are into romantic lovey stuff. I'm for sure a
sucker for those. So until next time....
