The Game Plan - X's and O's #1 - by Allie Lasky (Sam and Miles)





BLURB

Sam is the life of every party at her sorority house, but now she’s just one failed class away from losing her softball scholarship and being forced to drop out of school.

Enter Miles, the massive brute of a linebacker with a secret talent for math. As she learns more about him, Sam is drawn to the reclusive giant and his unexpected sweetness.

Miles is convinced that Sam is just another girl who sees him as a big, dumb jock. But when Sam talks him into helping her for the good of their respective athletic teams, they both have to contend with the consequences of their actions.

What starts out as an innocent friendship soon turns into more. A relationship is the last thing either of them wants. So why does it feel so right?

This is a brand-new author and considering its her first novel, it was really original and awesome, and I really enjoyed reading it. The author created some awesome characters I fell hard for, but they also have a unique spin on college life and also the world of college football.

In this story we meet sorority girl Sam who is flunking out in her statistics class. Miles is a shy, rugged football player who is a whiz at math and stats. He and Sam have only seen each other and never even said a word until she finds out about his stat grades and begs him for help.

Miles is very down on himself. He feels like a huge giant and that he is not attractive at all. He sees Sam as very hot but also as a girl who could never like him, that is until he starts to help her out and she shows him that she is very different than he thought she was.

This is a story within the college sports world where we are taught to not judge people by their body type and outside appearance. I loved how great Sam and Miles were and how they form an awesome friendship that leads to more.

There are some side plots in this story about bullying and when to stand up for your friends and harassment in this story. I really could not put this book down and adored the authors writing, characters and where she took the story and how it highlighted bullying and harassment.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
