Probably my least favorite of Madonna's contemporary albums. The R&B/hiphop feel of the album just doesn't work for me, and too often the songs sound like they are someone else's track featuring Madonna, instead of the other way around. Best track on the album by far is Miles Away, followed by Give It 2 Me. I really feel like these are the only 2 tracks that sound like Madonna songs.

There was so much more to this  than I was expecting. It is a subtle romance instead of all about the romance. Instead the book focuses on family, future, and saving face.

I read this in one sitting and absolutely loved it. The characters were hilarious and you wanted to take the rose colored glasses off Charlie through the whole thing. I highly recommend if you are looking for a contemporary to read!

This is a contemporary romance story by this author. I really enjoyed this story, it was sweet with a different edge to it. The characters were fantastic, they had such an emotional connection. I was hooked from the first page and fell in love with the characters at the same time. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a contemporary sports romance read. This book has very likeable characters, you will fall in love with as you read. I enjoyed this story and couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this novel and am still a bit surprised that it still hasn't been made into a movie. I thought the concept was pretty creative, and this first novel in particular was well told.

On the other hand, I do feel that the series drops off a bit in the subsequent books. They all connect seamlessly, and the stories are all satisfying, just not as engaging as some of its contemporary YA novels.
