3.5 starsI really haven't been reading much YA lately, but this one had been sitting on my Kindle. It was an overall good read that reminded me of all the things I love and hate about YA stories. I enjoyed all the characters and I did get emotional over Taylor's struggles over not wanting to come ...
The blurb... The day Jackson Kern walks into Taylor Andrews’s classroom is a momentous day in Taylor's life. He's had crushes before, sure, but as time goes on, this is starting to look a whole lot more serious. Still, Jackson doesn’t return Taylor’s feelings. Taylor has his own admirers, though...
Funny, how different opinions can be. For me this book didn't work. I'm rather proud that I made it up to 47% but that's about it now.

From the moment we meet Taylor Andrews we know that he has a crush on the new boy who has walked into school. This crush turns quickly to infatuation as he sees Jackson Kern on the pitcher...
2.5 stars Hmmmm…I think reviewing this book will be a bit difficult for me. I am a fan of the author and enjoyed his other work “500 Miles”. However, this one…well for me personally, just didn’t connect.
It's available and now on my Kindle - yippee!
