This was a quick and fun read. I read it in one sitting and was thoroughly entertained. The main character, Lissa, became a bit annoying at times with her control issues, but the character of Cash was a good balance to her neurosis. It was exactly what I expected from a short contemporary in that it was enjoyable and light with no real weight to it. I do enjoy a heavier story at times, but this was one time where the amusing and light writing style was refreshing and exactly what I was looking for.
In a battle of the sexes is there ever a clear winner? Lissa and all the girlfriends of the jocks are completely over a ten year long rivalry between the school's football team and the soccer team. No one can even remember how it started, but that doesn't stop the boys from hazing each other relentlessly. The boys get so caught up in the fighting that they neglect the girls. After a soccer player was seriously injured during a hazing incident, Lissa felt like it had all gone too far and was determined to end the rivalry once and for all. She gathered the girlfriends of both football and soccer players to organize a sex strike until they stopped fighting. Things were going well until her football star boyfriend betrayed her and a sexy soccer stud complicated things. Will Lissa be able to navigate her own feelings while keeping the strike organized long enough to end the rivalry?
If you are finding yourself in a winter reading rut of a lot of epic fantasy or long series and just need a quick and enjoyable break, this is the book for you. It lacks any slow spots and keeps you turning the pages with it's quirky storyline. I would definitely pick this one up again.
