Challenge Corner discussion

High school life for Prom King and varsity soccer star, Nick Maguire, is a breeze up until his father is diagnosed with terminal cancer. With his home life in a frenzy, the last thing Nick expects is to have his head turned by a girl, let alone his best friend's younger sister. The connection is instant between the two, but Nick must tread lightly knowing how overprotective his best friend is about her. Trying to balance his fragile family situation and the undeniable feelings that he must keep secret, Nick must decide if happiness is worth more than the bro code.

29%: (view spoiler)[It seems like they might have a crush on one another and it’s not one sided but the whole bro code is annoying me (hide spoiler)]

I couldn't get this to send to my kindle, so I'm reading on Adobe and the font is small. So I have to zoom in and out on each page lol.

Oh no 😂😂

I'm only on ch 3 I think, but the "bro code" is ridiculous lol

Yeah but I'm glad I can read it at least.

Omg yes it totally is

I mean, they have to be good at dodgeball and love it. So weird

52%: (view spoiler)[aww they kissed! I can also see why her brother is a little hesitant with Madison because of her popularity with the boys and she's known for being with more than one person.. (hide spoiler)]

88%: (view spoiler)[I honestly feel bad for what happened to Eliza and how Austin and Carter handled the whole situation. Other than that, I don't really see the problem with her and Nick being together but it could just be me? (hide spoiler)]

Ah man, I'm heading home soon then I'll be able to read more!

100%: (view spoiler)[omg the bro codes at the end of this book made me laugh. a bro shalt love barbecues - like wtf? I can't with these guys. (hide spoiler)]

yay! I can't wait to read your thoughts!

25% (view spoiler)[ Definitely Nick and Eliza have crushes, they're so awkward around each other. I'm surprised no one else has noticed, especially Carter. The bro code seems stupid. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ The whole deal with Madison is odd, she suddenly wants Carter just because he doesn't want her and then sexually harasses him? And he actually likes Hannah?
It seems kind of jumbled and like the guys don't really stick to the bro code (hide spoiler)]

Oh yeah that makes sense (view spoiler)[ that Carter doesn't like that Madison is a player. I liked when Eliza and Nick kissed too, the roof scene was cute (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "25% [spoilers removed]
50% ..."

Yeah it doesn’t really seem like they follow it at all. Plus it’s stupid.

I figured out my problem on Kindle, whew! It was killing me trying to read that tiny font lol

omg yay!

I know! When I changed my account, it gave me a new Kindle ID so I was sending books to the wrong place. Ugh

omg no! that's so sad

78% (view spoiler)[ Punching Ben in an important game was probably a bad idea. Nick is lucky the ref didn't call it, but it might affect the scouts' decision. I wonder if Austin is mad or going to tell Carter about Eliza? (hide spoiler)]
finished (view spoiler)[ So Austin and Carter are almost rapists?! I mean, they both took advantage of drunk girls and didn't apologize, they're pretending it didn't happen. I can't like them anymore, that's horrible.

I am glad Nick got into the school he wanted, but that last revelation ruined the story for me (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "100%: [spoilers removed]"

YES! Also the overall ending just made me so mad with this book. I still can't believe Austin and Carter right now!

Yep. I feel like this book was making fun of sexism, but didn't actually have a good message

Nope, not one bit. I wish it dove into it a bit more..

I put that in my note to the publisher. Not sure it will help but I tried

I didn’t even think of that! Should’ve done the same
