WOW-inspired Stars!!
Wow
is really the only word that comes to mind when I think of Ginger Scott’s Waiting
on the Sidelines. It was really all my brain could compute when I finished
reading it.
It
is the wonderful coming-of-age tale of one’s first love and heartbreak and
self-discovery. Nolan Lennox has always been a tomboy, excelled at sports, and
loved her family and humble life. Until a boy came along. Reed Johnson made her
question everything about herself and that is dangerous for a 14 year-old girl.
Waiting
on the Sidelines
spans the four-year high school journey of Nolan and Reed. Fate throws them
together when these two are paired for a class science project in which they
get to know each other and their friendship blossoms. That is, until the
popular junior girl, Tatum, comes into the picture. Tatum snags Reed right out
from under Nolan. The first heartbreak for Nolan when it comes to sweet and devilishly
charming Reed.
Tatum
is mean girl extraordinaire and puts Nolan through hell. But Nolan doesn’t
always let Tatum win. But it’s not the battles that matter to Nolan, it’s the
war. The war for Reed’s heart.
Reed
is always on Nolan’s mind, and Reed wants to be a better person, doing things
right, for Nolan. These two are a catastrophe and a perfect match. And their
story says it all.
I
cannot even begin to describe all of the amazing things in this book because I
would just be giving away everything. Ginger’s writing is phenomenal, had me
putting off all of my midterms and projects just so I could finish her book and
know what happens; it was well worth it. It was heart-pounding, heart-stopping,
and completely took my breath away. I may have shed a tear or two. Each
character is unique and carves a place in your heart, especially Nolan and
Reed.
I
can’t say much more other than to go get it and read it yourself.
(I
received an ARC from the author via NetGalley for my review and this is my
honest-to-goodness, straight from the heart review!)
