**I received this book from the author in exchange for a completely honest review**I read another one of Rinaldo's books and I liked it, but this one left something to be desired for me.  It has received a lot of good reviews on several different sites, but I guess I just didn't connect with the story very well.  But, it does have a pretty sweet cover!The very beginning of the book was a lot of talk about football, which I personally found hard to get through.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE football, especially college football, (I am from the south guys) but its something that I would much rather watch than read about.  I get that this was how Darnell was supposed to be changing his life, but I felt that some of it could have been left out.I really liked the premise of the book, and even some of the characters I liked, but I just couldn't connect with it like I wanted to.  The ending was also pretty abrupt for me, and I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about that.By no means is it a bad book, like I said, a lot of other people have really enjoyed it, but sometimes these things happen, you just can't connect with a book like you want to.  If the blurb sounds interesting to you, I suggest you get the book and give it a read yourself, maybe you will find a better connection than I did.Like I said, its not a bad book, but I couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to, and for that reason it only gets 2 out of 5 stars.To read more reviews, visit my book blog [...]
