the sweetest employee at @bnlibbieplacerecommended this one to me when she found me staring at a wall of romance books looking (probably) helpless — i told her i was working on a summer reading guide and looking for books that matched the vibe of different shows, and as soon as i mentioned parks and rec, she grabbed this one so fast!

it definitely has the quirky small town cast of characters like parks and rec does, but is set in a high school and features way more students and sports, which was fun!

you’ve got a struggling girls soccer team, drama and pranks between teams and coaches, an old flame reignited, the cutest parents, redemption arcs galore, and so many endearing characters. 

if you’ve ever wanted to redo high school or get revenge on your old bullies or find your way back from rock bottom, you’d love this one!
