Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Stephanie

Jason Vincent is Cross High Schools most popular star basketball player, a secretly talented writer, and a boy with a troubled relationship with his verbally abusive father. Super-smart Kyra Evans dresses slightly funny and doesnt do much to tame her hair, but she has a loving family and doesnt care what people think of her, least of all the popular group that Jason runs with. Their lives were not supposed to cross in high school at all&until a fateful English research paper project brings the two of them together, first as partners, then as friends, and finally as something more. Much more.

Jason finds that he can tell Kyra secrets that hes never told anyone. Kyra, rather inexperienced in the boy department, finds the perfect boyfriend in Jason. Both teenagers discover what love really is in their remarkable relationship, a relationship that, when first announced, brought the entire school to its feet in uproar. A Super-Jock and a Super-Brain, going together? It was unheard of. Impossible. It would never last.

Jason and Kyras relationship may be magical, but they must withstand many obstacles thrown their way, particularly their different opinions over sex and the malevolent plans of Jasons ex-girlfriend, Lisa, the most popular girl whom he dumped for Kyra. Lisa has a plan to separate the couple and get back together with her rightful boy-property. Can Jason and Kyras love for each other withstand hurtful assumptions?

Dana Davidsons voice is easy to read and extremely touching. Readers will find themselves sighing wistfully for a relationship as beautiful as the one Jason and Kyra share.
