Review: Good book, confusing at times
Rating: 3 out of 5

I thought Full Court Press was a coming of age story about Carmondy,(love the name), and Becks, that was centered around their love of basketball. Instead, I found it to be a hodgepodge of different storylines. You have the heroine who is new to school, wants to be part of a team, has absent parents,(which was never discussed),develops asthma,(still waiting on her parents to show up at the hospital after she almost dies),who falls into a strange sexual relationship with Becks. Our hero has cold parents, an mildly abusive personality and deep secrets, that are not that deep. The book was pretty long, and I wished the author had delved into the relationships Becks and Car had with their parents, or the friendships they shared with Anderson and Kendall, or even more of the basketball, which kinda fizzled out after the first game. All in all, a decent read for 99 cents.
