Book Review- Stupid Girl by Cindy MilesOlivia Beaumont’s summer before her senior year changed her life.  She didn’t remember much of that night but she had a good idea of what happened after her boyfriend, Kelsy, drugged her.  Then her senior year was miserable.  She was shunned and called a slut.  She couldn’t wait to leave her small Texas town and go to college, putting everything behind her.The first thing that happens when she gets to college is she gets knocked off her feet, literally, by Brax Jenkins.  He is the star pitcher on the baseball team.  When he has her on the ground, he kisses her.  At first she is stunned, but then she gets suspicious.  After the last year, she trusts no one but her family.  She wants nothing to do with Braxton Jenkins.Brax is immediately intrigued.  Olivia is totally different from any of the other girls.  He wants to get her attention and starts calling her by her middle name Gracie.  He inserts himself in her life and starts opening her world up.  She starts to live again.  As they grow closer Olivia starts trusting Brax.  In fact she falls hard.  She even reveals her darkest secrets to him.  Nothing is ever as it seems.  Olivia’s world comes crashing down when the past and present collide.  Then the ultimate betrayal is committed and Olivia is left trying to figure out what to do next.I love this author.  I have read many of her books.  With this book, she does not disappoint.  I was hooked on the storyline from the beginning.  Brax was the ultimate bad boy.  His intentions weren’t necessarily good in the beginning.  I liked how the author had their relationship evolve as the story went.  They were better together than apart.  The gentlemanly things Brax did were sigh worthy.  He was well worth the hardship.  I became emotionally vested.  I wanted to beat up Kelsy just as much as Brax did.  You also feel for Olivia knowing what she went through and how she just wants to get on with her life.  Great story and a fast read that transports you to college.  I give it a 4 out of 5.
