Under the Lights (Field Party, #2)

by Abbi Glines

Rebekkah Ross (Narrator), Jacques Roy (Narrator), and Jeremy York (Narrator)

In the follow-up to Abbi Glines’s #1 New York Times bestseller Until Friday Night—which bestselling author Kami Garcia called “tender, honest, and achingly real”—three teens from a small southern town are caught in a dramatic love triangle.

Willa can’t erase the bad decisions of her past that led her down the path she’s on now. But she can fight for forgiveness from her family. And she can protect herself by refusing to let anyone else get close to her.

High school quarterback and town golden boy Brady used to be the best of friends with Willa—she even had a crush on him when they were kids. But that’s all changed now: her life choices have made her a different person from the girl he used to know.

Gunner used to be friends with Willa and Brady, too. He too is larger than life and a high school football star—not to mention that his family basically owns the town of Lawton. He loves his life, and doesn’t care about anyone except himself. But Willa is the exception—and he understands the girl she’s become in a way no one else can.

As secrets come to light and hearts are broken, these former childhood friends must face the truth about growing up and falling in love…even if it means losing each other forever.

This had a rocky start for me, but got much better as we learned more about the characters. I am pretty excited about the set up for the next book too.

Things I liked
*I immediately wanted to hug Willa. We are not sure what she did, but it was something that she was very remorseful for, and something her mother abandoned her (again) for. She wanted to make better choices, do well in school, and make her grandmother proud. When I found out what Willa had been dealing with, my heart broke right open.

*Gunner really won me over, when he started being real. In the beginning of the book, I sort of thought he was a jerk, with his love-em-and-leave-em attitude towards women and locker room talk, but then he started shedding this "armor", and what was left was someone with a lot of repressed pain. I was really happy that Willa coming back to town, prompted Brady to renew his friendship with Gunner as they both rekindled their friendship with Willa.

*Willa's Grandmother is tucked in my heart with all the other fab grandmas I have been reading about lately and with my own. She was a really special lady, with a huge heart filled with so much love.

*I cannot lie, the drama in this one was so soap opera worthy, and I loved it!

I loved friends-to-more stories, and am also a fan of second chance romances, so this was a solid read for me. It also got better as the story progressed, and I was pleased with where Glines took the story by the end of the book.

Really liked this one !! Very cute and romantic, but the right dose of drama and tragedy. They don't whine too much, which is something I always appreciate ^^ And I know for sure the next one will feature Riley and a certain good boy ^^
