Appartiene alle SerieSouth Rock High (1)
The guy who broke my heart is back and teaching at my school. I'm really trying not to give an F. A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right? I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life. But he's suddenly back in Sourwood, coaching soccer at South Rock High, and sexy as ever. Just when I'd gotten over him, we're now colleagues. As Hutch leads the soccer team to victory once again, and we find ourselves trading stolen glances in the halls, it feels like a reboot of our high school bad romance. Especially after a late night encounter where I find myself climbing him like the rope in gym class. Oops. Hutch wants to give us another try, but what if history is doomed to repeat itself? Contains mature themes. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Sure, I found it annoyingly silly at times - it seemed like Truman was looking for corny embellishments and sidebars to poke into the story at every turn. Too much!
After a while I took it as a lesson for me to lighten up and embrace it. I could certainly do with it.
Nerdy Amos and jock Hutch knew each other in high school - they were going to go to the prom together, but Hutch didn't show. If ever there was a fire to be relit it was this one - they make each other laugh.
Would they have gone looking for each other if Hutch, a professional soccer player, didn't return as a coach to the school where Amos now teaches? that's not clear. It's seven years since they last saw each other. Oh the spectre of what might not have been!
This is my eighth read from A.J. Truman, first in South Rock High series, but I've returned to Single Dads Club, and Browerton University, whenever I need that lightness, though I think generally those novels have had a little more meat on their bones, drama between the silliness.
On Library Thing I usually swap the cover over to the one matching the book I've read, but this time I won't. Both of the guys could be Hutch, and both guys are wearing the same shirt, but on the other cover, the subject is poorly cropped and lit, Truman's name is barely readable, the globe is a great touch here, as is the warm apricot script, and the guy adds a whole lot to Hutch's sex appeal!
Only the good title drew me in on the other cover. My hat goes off to the graphic designer who has taken the cover in hand and made it glow! (
