Leah Archer was just 12 years old when she hit her head on a rock and fell into a coma, one that doctors weren't sure she'd ever come back from. But when she wakes up four years later, she faces the struggle of recovery and fights to regain any hint of a normal life. Noah Davis is the star running back of his high school football team before a nasty tackle takes him out for months. After surgery and a rough few months of recovery, he hopes his physical therapy has been enough to get him back on the field. But as senior year approaches, he realizes that balancing football with the rest of his life may be harder than before. As both Leah and Noah fight their own battles, they discover that recovery is a long road that may just be better traveled together.

The year is 1996. In a wealthy Vermont city, the east and west rivalry runs deep - the most substantial feud being that between West Port High's star pitcher and East Port Academy's best batter. Throughout their high school careers, Charles Turner and Richard White have involved their teams in the most high-stakes prank war Sugarport has ever seen. Little does anyone realize that as far as Charlie and Rich are concerned, it's about more than baseball. Mabel Abram wants nothing more than to fight by her boyfriend's side in the prank war of all prank wars. After all, she hates Charles as much as Richard does. Unfortunately for her, the girls have always been left out of it on the east side. That was, until now. When Richard discovers someone's been sharing his secrets with Charles, he retaliates by recruiting his girlfriend to do the opposite. Mabel finds herself playing double agent, pretending to befriend the boy she hates. Might it become increasingly confusing which side she's really on?

Where a guy shows his best friend how her next boyfriend should treat her---by making a checklist. * * * "TBC is a very, very, very sweet book. I really enjoyed reading it.

I think the layer of depth given by doing so makes this novel already more-how should I say it?--powerful, and you haven't posted anything but the description and cast yet." -- @panic_the_cab * * * FEATURED STORY ON: #ProjectBadBoys
