Nico Medina’s world is
eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are
open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it
becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars
that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes.
West End is the kind of
place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another.
And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.
I’m Reagan
Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect
family.
Life on top.
Lies.
My world is the ugly one.
Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in
the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in
whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched
it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.
In our twisted world, a
boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback.
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I
needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was
almost too late.
When two ugly worlds
collide, even the strongest fall. But my world…it hasn’t met the boy from West
End.
REVIEW
4 stars!
Let me start by saying that I’ve always loved Ginger Scott’s books since I discovered them. The Hard Count didn’t disappoint. I don’t normally read YA because I prefer being around the same age to the characters but I found myself enjoying The Hard Count. The two characters are a great fit and they are both good solid characters that you can fall in love with. There was the element of coming to age and first love that made you feel the butterflies that the characters were feeling. The story had a great uplifting spirit to it that makes you feel good. The book had some great scenes that really captured the emotions that the characters were feeling and made the reader feel the same. The story also gives a powerful message that makes the readers that doesn’t stop this book from being a sweet read that gives you all the feels. I would recommend to someone that loves their YA novels or is looking for a sweet read.
