His past will never go away. Hers has left deep scars. Together, maybe they can build something new.
Levi
Cox carved his baseball game out of the dirt. The hard way. Bouncing
between foster homes as a kid, and trying everything he could do to
protect his kid brother from bullies, Levi backs down from no one and
has a record to prove it. Baseball has given him a purpose and a career.
A way to provide for his brother. When Levi meets Finley Gray, he finds
things happening to his heart that he never thought possible. She has
her own broken past, using boxing as her outlet. Yet the more Levi gets
to know Finley, the more he’s convinced they belong together. Breaking
through Finley’s tough exterior might be Levi’s hardest challenge ever.
But he has a feeling it will be more than worth it.

Can one game really change everything?
Seventeen-year-old
Zeb Holloway works in his uncle’s auto repair shop and spends his
weekends deer hunting in New Hampshire’s backwoords. He’s a quarterback
on his high school’s undefeated football team, but he never plays. Why
would he when T.T. Munroe—a walking, talking highlight real—is around?
That is, until T.T.’s injured a week before the state championship game.
Now
Zeb’s tapped to start. As he assumes the role of QB and team leader, it
feels like the entire town is watching. Girls want to talk to him and
adults want to shake his hand. When a college recruiter says Zeb could
have a future beyond his small New Hampshire town, he realizes there’s a
bigger life out there for him…if he can play his heart out.
Opening line:
"Later, in the week that followed, Zeb Holloway watched the injury form again and again."
A coming-of-age story told from a second string football players perspective.
Zeb
Holloway doesn't plan on playing much on his high school football team,
thanks to the awesome QB who is bring the team to state. Until the QB
is hurt. Zeb is thrust in the spotlight and he's not too sure what to
think about the instant notoriety.
The story follows Zeb through the
week leading up to the state game. He wrestles with who he is, where
he's from and what he really expects out of life. Each day leading up to
the game seem to solidify and center him in what he wants. Things move a
little fast compared to what it might move in real life but I liked the
day-to-day decisions and effects.
There are a few "F" bombs and a bit of swearing.
There is kissing.
There is "boy" humor.
Thanks to netgalley for the early read!
