Book Recommendations

     The book Tripping Me Up is a 7/10. It's kind of cliché because it has to do with the nerdy girl liking the jock and the jock ends up liking her. In this book it's different because in the past she used to be popular until her friends ditched her and made her invisible. She has one friend and they are both what you would call the outcasts in high school. Since forever, she's always had a crush on a kid named Tripp. He was the popular guy who was good at football and had tons of friends. But what people didn't know was that he is abused by his father. People may think that his dad is just extremely strict and rude but they don't see the scars peeking out from behind Tripp's clothes. They don't know that he fears coming home every day because then he will have to face his father. They don't know that his dad makes the decisions for him including who he dates, what sports he does, and that he isn't pursing his artistic career. But Hadley sees him as someone who gets whatever he wants, including popularity, money, athletic ability, etc. This book has many surprises and many twists. Read it to see if Tripp chooses to let Hadley in, or if he chooses to hide behind his dads commands.
