Crush - 90 points





Title: Crush
Author: Lacey Weatherford
Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys—especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She’s beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect.

Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend—that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn’t want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can’t keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it’s obvious to everyone they’re crushing on each other.

As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he’s scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret—one that can destroy their entire relationship.

4 HEARTS!

POINT BREAKDOWN

Plot: 43 points

GOOD PLOT! So at first I was confused and I didn’t like the plot because Hunter was involved in drugs. In general, I don’t like books with drug use it them. But luckily the ending was good! Still a little weird, but at least I felt like the book was worth my time! And it was! I love how Hunter was drawn to Cami even though he shouldn’t have been. I loved the struggle he was facing between what was the right thing to do, and what his heart was telling him to do.

Characters: 13 points

Hunter: Notice the cover? Hot! Cami: Pretty AND smart! How about that? Clay: Well…mostly I feel bad for him.

Names of characters: 4 points

Cami: Cute! Hunter: Sexy! Clay: Did I mention I feel sorry for him? Yeah…that’s one of the reasons. LOL.

Writing/Depth: 30 points

Weatherford does a great job expressing Hunters struggle and his pull towards Cami. And the best part about her writing? How she kept me clueless about Hunter’s secret up to the very last second… Bravo Weatherford!

TOTAL: 90 POINTS
