The main theme of this book starts in a rural high school, mid-September into mid-January, in a small town called Grandma Earl. The novel starts sometime in the evening with humid cold weather since it is September. As the novel goes on the theme changes to the main character's house which has Halloween decorations upfront since Halloween is just a month away. The role that this theme plays is it shows how the characters start in the novel. This particular theme helps us get to know more about the characters and how their story starts.
Along with the theme, the main characters who live in Grandma Earl start as bitter rivals since the antagonist of the story, Irene Abraham, is the main protagonist, Scottie Zajac, bully. Irene Abraham is the captain of the cheerleading team mainly the popular girl that everyone knows, but she has a secret that nobody knows about until you get further into the book. However, Scottie Zajac is the complete opposite of Irene even though Scottie is on the basketball team she only hangs out with four people and the rest of the school doesn’t talk to her. Scottie’s best friend, Danielle Zander, is also on the basketball team and helps out Scottie with all her emotions and always makes sure she’s okay.
However, the main characters also have a main conflict which impacts the beginning of the book and some parts of the book depending on the chapter. Scottie Zajac is trying to get over her ex, Tally Gibson, which isn’t going well. She can’t seem to find a way to clear her mind off of her because everywhere she goes all she can think about is the times she had with Tally and the places they went. To find a way to cope with these feelings she tries to make Tally jealous by fake dating her arch-nemesis, Irene Abraham, which starts rocky but unfolds into smooth sailing.
I recommend this novel because the book has great character development which also has problems that happen in the real world that not many people focus on today. But this novel might not be everyone’s cup of tea since it has swearing, and an enemies-to-lovers type romance genre, which might affect how you would read the book. So, if you enjoy reading books that have drama, heartbreak, enemies-to-lovers romance, and a cheesy ending, then I think you should consider reading this book.… (mer)
