Summary
Not Interested -- that's what's Grace has said when the
famous jock of the opposing team asked her of her name. It was one of the
regrets of Grace since she can't get him out of her mind especially that green
eyes. And now that she's transferring to his school, away from her home and to
her friends, part of her wishes that he remembers her.
But when she met him again, Ryder already has a girlfriend
clinging to him everywhere. Realizing that the only part of her that wants to
be in that school was already killed with Ryder having a girlfriend, Grace felt
all alone. Bit by bit, she and her old friends grow apart because of
misunderstanding, her mother is changing-- no longer the friend she has,
and her new stepfather acting weird and creepy towards her.
With everything that's happening to her, Ryder is always
there. Noticing even the slight changes in her clothing, appearance and
moods. It seems like Ryder knows all the problems and fear she's having, no
matter how good she hides it.
My Review
Is this another story of a girl moving to a new school, then
ending up with the famous jock? Yup is it! Sometimes, it gets tiring to read
the same kind of stories over and over again, but the the other part of the
story made me continue reading.
I was only expecting a young-adult story here, where the
characters' biggest problem is unrequited love. But as I continue reading,
there's something mo in this story. The storyline has potential, but there are
lots of anticlimactic events. Like when Ryder end up crying when he should be
comforting Grace. Or when Grace's problems doesn't been emphasized due to love
problems and other high school stuff.
I want to like Ryder. He's gentleman, clever p, friendly and
he's very popular. But I feel like he's too good to be true. Is there really
someone like him. Though I totally loved him in the end, on how he handled
things including Grace, most of the times, it feels like he wasn't given much
opportunity as the leas character. Honestly, his bestfriend's exposure
was better.
it feels like there's something that's missing. I didn't see
the characters developed. The problems were solved, yes. But that's just it.
Still, all in all, the story went nice and didn't end up as a shallow one.
