She liked football, she ran her family's farm, she was not an A student. I could actually identify with her and the feelings she experienced. A YA novel with more than what's on the surface.

“"When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said." Fifteen-year-old D.J. learns to communicate with her family & friends after spending the summer training the quarterback of her high school's rival football team. While D.J. has always been a physically strong female protagonist (hence her ability to tryout for her h.s.'s all-male football team later on in the novel), her self-confidence positively improves by the end of this novel. Through D.J., readers will gain a new perspective on intelligence and beauty that is outside of the box. ”

Brian's training leads to a close friendship that Brian wants to keep a secret. But D.J. is also harboring a secret...she wants to play football. But that would mean playing against Brian! Can their friendship/romance survive the insult?”
