I really liked all of the golf talk because let’s be real, golf is pretty boring but I thought Fichera did a great job of making golf, cool. Both Ryan and Fred annoyed me so much through out the book that it’s a wonder why I even liked the book. At times, they are both very unlikable (at least to me) and while the whole premise of the story intrigued and interested me, there were times when I just had to put the book down because it dragged. So yeah, Ryan is not too happy about that and he makes his displeasure known again and again and again.Īt times, I found myself annoyed with both Fred and Ryan. Fred’s now apart of the golf team and with her inclusion, some cuts need to be made and the guy they cut just so happens to be Ryan’s best friend.
There are plenty of things that jump out during this story. Being Native American, living on the res and being a girl, Fred’s father isn’t too wild about Fred joining the team but he leaves it up to Fred and she accepts. She’s a fantastic golfer and the coach wants her on the team.
We first meet Fred when the golf coach for the high school is talking to her and her Dad about Fred joining the golf club. I wanted to read this book because I heard that the main character was a golfer and that was different enough from what I’m used to in a main female lead for a contemporary YA that I was intrigued. "Not just a Romeo and Juliet story, the book examines the conflicts of white versus Indian and rich versus poor, giving it far more heft than the average romance. This is an opportunity to shine, win a scholarship and go to university, something no one in her family has done.īut Fred’s presence on the team isn’t exactly welcome - especially not to rich golden boy Ryan Berenger, whose best friend was kicked off the team to make a spot for Fred.īut there’s no denying that things are happening between the girl with the killer swing and the boy with the killer smile. When Native American Fredricka ‘Fred’ Oday is invited to become the only girl on the school’s golf team, she can’t say no. Amazon | Barnes & Noble | The Ripped Bodice | Google Play Books
