Review: Love At First Sight
Rating: 4 out of 5

Blindsided is a love-at-first-sight story that follows the romance between US soccer star, Jessie and UK "sweet, shy girl" Isabelle. When a malicious party prank causes Jessie to fall and severely damage his knee, he knows his career might be over. At the end, we're left knowing that Jessie and Isabelle are a couple who will probably connect again even though they'll be living on different continents. We're also left wondering if Jessie's career is ended. I guess that will be resolved in a sequel.The story follows a predictable line, but it has some interesting minor characters, and I liked the way the topic of date rape was handled. I quarreled with some of the grammar, and wished for more sparkle in the prose, but young readers will enjoy the love angle.
