About this ebook
Nico Medina’s world is eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes.
West End is the kind of place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another. And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.
I’m Reagan Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect family.
Life on top.
Lies.
My world is the ugly one. Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.
In our twisted world, a boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback.
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was almost too late.
When two ugly worlds collide, even the strongest fall. But my world...it hasn’t met the boy from West End.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love Ginger Scott as an author and this definitely is not my first book by her. I see she has a thing for making the theme of her books sports. My favorite characters had to be the Dad and Nico. I loved Nico in this book. A kid fighting to rid himself of the stereotypes people place on him based on his race and where he lives. I love how athletically and academically driven he is. And how he shows his love for Reagan is inspiring. Made me fan girl over him the whole book. The sweet scene during his mom luncheon was so adorable. I loved this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I need more stars! Five is waaay too few for this one! About a hundred should do it. This is one of the most brilliant, beautifully written, stunning indie novels I've ever read, in any genre.
