Losing his dream, his ultimate plan, and his future- Nash Lee never expected to be facing a life without football. One wrong move and it had all changed. Going back to school for his senior year no longer appealed to him. He’d rather not leave his house. Walking back into Lawton High School, seeing pity in everyone’s eyes was just another reality in his nightmare.
Revenge wasn’t a pretty thing. Tallulah Liddell had found it was rather controlling. The way you looked at life changed completely when you clung to the ugly notion. But she’d done it anyway. From the last day of her junior year when Ryker Lee had made a fat joke about her and Nash laughed with him, she’d been driven by pain. It wasn’t like no one had made fun of her weight before. She was used to that. What had hurt so deeply was Nash’s laughter. He’d always been the one person to notice her, include her, not treat her differently. But that one moment had changed it all. From the time she walked out of the school building to the moment she returned for her senior year Tallulah had been determined to lose weight and finally be the size her peers considered acceptable.
What she wasn’t expecting on her return was to find a broken Nash Lee who no longer smiled, rarely spoke, and didn’t care about anything or anyone around him. He was just existing. But the pain in his eyes she understood all too well. He was alone. He no longer fit into the perfect package.

The book we all have been waiting for… it’s time for the one and only: Mr. Nash Lee! *insert John Cena’s intro song*
Nash Lee is mentioned MANY times in the first three books of the series. The reader is used to seeing how the girls mention him in their points of view. He is always the nice guy, with his warm skin color and his light blue eyes. So of course, when I found out this book would be about him, I thought to myself “we are finally getting his love story”. Needless to say, I had high hopes… and I watched them go down the drain.
For such a “nice guy”, he wasn’t very understanding regarding his love interest and her issues. He was jealous a lot of times and he was immature when he needed to deal with his problems.
The girl was okay. I wasn’t a fan of the reason why she lost weight, but as a human being I understood her feelings and how words can have such a strong impact in our minds. With that said, I didn’t care for the romance. I felt bad most of the time because the girl was constantly alone and dealing with problems, while Nash was living his own life.
I have to say I’m disappointed, I was expecting more from this one. Probably one of my least favorite books from the series.
