If your teen is into sports romance, this is a safe, middle-of-the-road pick that won't cause any drama at the dinner table. It’s not 'literary gold,' but it’s a solid, readable story about two kids trying to date while their towns are basically at war over a leather ball.
It’s a 'beach read' for the high school set. It’s not going to change their lives, but it’s a much better use of their brain than scrolling through mindless brain-rot clips for three hours.
