Customer Reviews

Imagine actually enjoying a book about football. Never thought I would, but here I am saying I loved

Julian, he is very serious about everything, which I often relate to. He holds onto what has happened in his life, and continues asking “but why? I didn’t deserve that.” Elijah, sweet Elijah. I have a soft spot for Elijah, and I was rooting for him ever since I opened the book. The book isn’t just about football, otherwise I wouldn’t have read it, if I’m being honest. The book is about friendship, love, being who you are, owning your truths, and so much more.
