Merissa (13840 KP) rated Clueless (Squad Goals #1) in Books
May 5, 2023
CLUELESS is the first book in the Squad Goals series and we start with Lexi - a male cheerleader - and Ryder. Lexi has been in love with Bad Boy Ryder for five years now and knows nothing can come of it but it's hard for him to change his heart. Ryder loves Kait, Lexi's sister, like a sister and has always noticed Lexi but didn't do anything about it until the day he did!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Partly because it was nice to read about male cheerleaders and how supportive each team was instead of the usual bitchiness and backstabbing that you get. And also Ryder - our not-so-bad boy. It may have taken him a while to catch on to what everyone else already knew but once he did, he was all in.
The story flowed naturally, as did the misunderstandings, easily sorted out by just taking a moment and figuring out what was important. These guys know what's what! There is also a great group of supporting characters that I am dying to hear more from.
The start of a great series and definitely recommended by me.

I thought this book was really well done. This was this month's choice for book club. My BC has many members who identify as gender fluid and this book really resonated with them. A wakes up in a different body every day. To them, it doesn't really matter if they are male or female, that doesn't matter to them. What does matter, is the person and the different characteristics and traits that can make one individual distinguished from the next.
This book touched on so many different struggles that a person can be facing. It is hard to know what someone is going through unless you are literally walking in their shoes.

I looooooved this book. BUT - not at first. It took me a while to get into it. I didn't like that it was a male lead, I went into it thinking the lead was female. So, maybe that's my fault. I couldn't connect with him, and I didn't like him. But maybe that's the point? By about 1/2 way through I was HOOKED. I could not stop reading to find out what the heck was going on! And the ending! WOW! SO not what I expected or what I've ever read before. I coulnd't believe it. So clever, and so unexpected - I wanted to hate the ending but in the end I ended up LOVING it! Nice job!

Sports romance with a slow burn
Zapata has mastered the story line that builds over significant time to create the most believable relationship. For some reason, I don't mind a slow burn when she writes it. Aiden 'the wall' wasn't immediately a likeable character but alongside Vanessa, I fell for him. Vanessa taught him what it meant to care, to be friends. This book has left me with a grin on my face and an full feeling in my heart.
This was an audio and Callie Dalton does a great job on male and female dialogue. I will definitely re-listen or read.
2017 Ebook re-read, this was as wonderful second time around.

Jan 18, 2018
I have a soft spot for bounty hunters and space. Put those two together and you have a recipe for magic. This novel was exactly up my alley and I loved everything about it. After reading Katherine McIntyres Stolen Petals, I was jonesing for another story similar. This was a perfect match. With a fierce female lead and a deliciously devious male lead, the couple burned up the pages. Its not erotic however, having a plot interesting enough to keep my attention when they werent setting the book on fire.
Overall, the novel reads quick, but it is rather enjoyable. If you like strong female bounty hunters and the men who love them, I recommend it.

Join Princes Fredric, Gustav, Liam, and Duncan as they must ban together to stop an evil witch from taking over their kingdoms. Of course, first, they must learn their own strengths and how to get along with each other.
This book was laugh out loud funny from start to finish with wonderful character growth and an engaging plot. My only complaint is that I didn't read it even sooner. With strong male and female characters, I think both boys and girls will equally love it. And adults will delight in this middle grade fractured fairy tale as well.

I received this book for free through the Goodreads First Reads program.
Right, I could not finish this book. When reading a book becomes more like a chore I dread doing, I have to stop unfortunately or I'd never end up reading any other book until I finished this one.
I just found the pacing to be a bit too slow for my liking, and I just felt confused about who's who in the book. Laura felt more like a male character than a female character...I don't know, it just felt all wrong to me.
However, this could just be me. I'd recommend others to read it because they may end up liking it.
