Blurb:

Welcome to their kingdom
Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school.
Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him.
Except me.
His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don't do it for me anymore...because I know what's lurking underneath the star quarterback's gorgeous armor.
At least I thought I did.
Sometimes the most beautiful people...hide the ugliest truths.
And sometimes the only way to save someone...
is to walk beside them through hell.
Sawyer Church is the bible-thumping nerd of Royal Hearts Academy.
Girls pick on her and guys don't notice her.
Except me.
Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she's impossible to ignore.
No matter how much I try.
Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer's real and never pretends to be someone she's not.
Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.
Sometimes the most beautiful souls...hide the greatest pain.
And sometimes the only way to save someone...
is to fight for them.

   

***5 ‘...Because You’re You’ Stars***

Hello, Book. Hangover.

This baby was intense, frustrating, sweet...it was simply addicting, even when I wanted to knock some sense into the characters with a 2x4 and then hug them because I couldn’t stand to see them hurting.

Sawyer. I’ll admit that I went into this totally #TeamSawyer. I couldn’t help it. I loved that girl after meeting her in Cruel Prince. She didn’t try to be someone she wasn’t. She owned every piece of her and gave as good as she got. And my opinion of her hasn’t changed. In fact I admire and adore her even more. This isn’t to say that she was perfect, or didn’t do anything ‘wrong’ ~ because lemme tell you, she took me on one hell of a journey ~ but I really like the person she grew into when the book ended.

Cole. Unlike Sawyer, I was intrigued by Cole, but I wasn’t necessarily a fan. I knew he had his demons and that there was a lot more going on than I could ever fathom, and boy was I proven correct. The level of frustration he put me through was kind of epic, but I got it. I could understand his reasoning, even if I didn’t agree. But as he started to deal with the ghosts of his past,I have to say that I ended up adoring him. He showed that even the darkest soul, can have a golden heart.

To say that Sawyer an Cole’s journey tried me is an understatement. These two put me through the ringer. But even with all the teenage angstyness going on, the push/pull...they worked for me. There was that strange connection between them that had me rooting for them to get that elusive HEA, because after all they were dealing with, they deserved it.

Going in, I knew this book would be filled with all kinds of landmines (So, YES you really do need to read Cruel Prince first) but even I wasn’t truly prepared for ALL of them. The bullying was a given, the body image ~ well, self image ~ issue was a given and dealing with all that had happened with Liam was a given, but boy did the author thrown in a couple of doozies to the mix that gave even me a pause. BUT I like how everything worked itself out. It wasn’t all pretty, but it was real. And as for the secondary cast of characters...I loved catching up with Jace and Dylan, but Oakley and Bianca...these two gots lots of issues to work through and I know I’m going to have to prepare myself for the chaos, but I can’t deny that I’m totally looking forward to it!
