I'm not going to lie I picked this one up for
the cover and title. I didn't bother to read the blurb. But it was the
first line "Dreams are like knees-- you don't realize how fragile they are
until something rips them to shreds." that had me hooked. I had to keep
reading I had to know what happened. Because like Britt I also played soccer
and it was a knee injury that sidelined me. And just like Britt I had to
rethink my whole future and career choices. But my knee injury wouldn't keep me
from college I had no desire to play college soccer no my knee injury and
the diagnosis it led to me having to give up my dream of joining the
Marines. So even though I'm not the typical audience for YA Britt
was an easy character to relate. I enjoyed reading her adventures
through the United Kingdom and through classic works of literature. With
British Luke along for the ride.
This one lean more on the side of YA
Contemporary more so than a YA Rom Com though it does have its rom com
moments. This was a great debut from Becky Dean, and I can't wait to see
what else she writes.
I received a copy of this book from the
publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All
opinions expressed are mine alone.
