Waiting on the Sidelines by Ginger Scott
5.0
4.5 - 5 Amazing Stars
I absolutely loved Waiting on the Sidelines.
In this novel we follow the story of Nolan and Reed over the course of four years during high school. I must admit I haven't read a young adult novel in well over 3 years I would say, but this was beautiful written and i loved every heartwarming second of it.
Nolan and Reed meet their freshman year, and it was butterflies at first sight for Nolan, which was adorable considering she was fourteen so insta-attraction was totally and completely believable. Reed comes from a wealthy sports family, his dad being Buck Johnson and his older brother Jason Johnson are both football legends in their small town and naturally Reed is next in line.
Over the four years were introduced to Nolan and Reed and how they deal with peer pressure, first loves, first heartbreaks, and first times. Their journey was both beautiful and heartbreaking, I literally jumped for joy reading about them.
Still being with my high school sweet heart (Im 21 now) It was adorable. I literally felt like I was transported back into High School. Every emotion, I could relate too.
I was a little iffy about the entire book taking place over four years, but it flowed so well you couldn't even tell. I loved that we go to watch the characters grow and develop and really find themselves over the course of the book. There was nothing I didn't like about this book!
I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves, love, and wants to relive all their firsts from high school.
