ABOUT THE BOOK
When Bella gets tossed into the scandal of the year, she'll need her enemy, Luke Sullivan, more than ever.
Bella Kirkwood loves her glam life in New York City. But when her mom remarries and relocates the family to rural Oklahoma, Bella has to say goodbye to Manhattan and hello to a small town world she didn’t sign up for. After her brutally honest blog rant goes viral, Bella goes from a NYC trendsetter to a social reject overnight.
Relegated to the school paper, Bella jumps at the chance to win over classmates she’s burned—and maybe even impress the hot editor, Luke Sullivan. Cute, nerdy Luke does all he can to get Bella to quit, but she’s not going anywhere. Especially when she overhears a cryptic conversation about a football player’s fatal so-called accident. She’s just discovered the scandal of a lifetime, and who keeps getting in her way? The smoldering, infuriating Luke Sullivan.
Can Bella and Luke expose the football team’s shocking secret before it’s too late? The closer Bella gets to the truth, the more her own life—and heart—are on the line.
REVIEW
I really wanted to like this one, but I was looking specifically for something with deep faith values for teens. I found this book a bit unbelievable, or at least very unrelatable. Interesting enough that I can see it keeping a teens interest, but not very faith-based. Neither of the main character’s parents seemed to take faith seriously, most of what she did and the kind of people who were her friends were not Christians, and her sporadic thoughts about God didn’t seem to be deep or very meaningful. Not what I was looking for in a Christian teen fiction book.
