Hot by Halloween by Jessica Bucher, M.F. Lorson
4.0
ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I daresay that I read it without any judgements. And for me, at this stage, it is of extreme importance as I just cannot handle all the drama surrounding high school romance anymore. But I seriously loved this book and below are the reasons for it:
1. It had sports in it.
2. For once, I cannot define this book in any categories (which is hard to find these days).
3. I did not include any romance between popular girl/boy and unpopular boy/girl. More like they were pretty much known in their own circle of friends.
4. I liked both the characters equally which is saying something. And actually not only the main characters but everyone in this book because each one had something to look forward to (except Freddy).
5. I loved the fact that the best friends had something sacred between them.
6. I liked the whole basic theme of this story!
Now that I have given my list of the reasons why I liked this book, I'll give a brief description of this book.
So basically, we have this group of three best friends who make a squad goal for each year with the aim of fulfilling it. At the beginning of the senior year of their high school, Addy decides to make 'Hot By Halloween' as her squad goal (to make her ex boyfriend regret breaking up with her - which she realises at the end shouldn't be her squad goal). She joins the school swim team to have a hot bod (I know the aim is not that appreciative but it works for me because dude, swimming does make you more fit). Here, she meets Gray who is a new student and literally lives swimming. He badly wants to get a scholarship to move out of Minnesota. And thus the story begins with two of them having very different objectives of being in the swim team but finally finding a common ground to be with each other.
And that's how the story progresses and it does get more interesting after that. What made this book even more nice was the fact that I like the determination that these characters have in this book. That's something I'll never get tire of.
So I give this book 4.5 stars for all the goodness it gave me!
