Somethin' About That Boy by Lani Lynn Vale
3.0
Somethin' About That Boy was a cute and flirty insta-love high school romance.
Banner Spurlock is the new kid. The one no-one wants to be, the brand new senior. Forced to leave his old school, Banner was not expected to be welcomed and become the new IT boy of the football team almost instantly. But the guys love him and they form a fast bromance.
Perry Street is classed as one of the mistfit Jocks, she plays Volleyball, is on the Cross-Country team with her group of friends that don't really fit in anywhere else, but are also kinda popular even though they don't really see or want it.
This book had the potential for so many things to go wrong, but it didn't. I'm kinda hoping Lani resolves some drama somewhere else along the line cause I kinda felt like it needed to be fleshed out even more here and then wrapped up within the same book. It felt lack lustre when it seemed that Lani had set up a certain story line that didn't come to pass. Probably my own expectations but none the less this was another smooth sailing almost drama-free young adult romance.
I like Banners character, he definitely wasn't your typical jock quarterback, he had a huge heart and was also majorly in touch with his emotions. Perry was a typical teenage girl but massive love for her family and willing to do whatever she had to, to stop the "Cheerleaders" picking on her lunch lady mother.
I loved that Banner was honest with what he wanted even though he knew Perry was never going to be okay with it. Lani gave Banner a goal and even though it had the potential to destroy them in its own right, it seemingly made them stronger and set them up for what I'm hoping is future glances in the books this stand alone has been the bridge for.
