HS - ESSENTIAL

This about a boy who weighs 307 pounds trying to get his girl. He joins the football team and becomes the star player but when he finds his quarterback with his "should be' girlfriend what’s he to do? 

For me this book was a page turner. I sat up at night reading it even though it had some harsh language in it. I really enjoyed this book.
