Dairy Queen (Dairy Queen Trilogy, #1)

I tried reading this book first, but I only got about 5 pages in before I stopped because the way it was written in a conversation-like way annoyed me. I don't know why because it doesn't always annoy me, but it did with this book. But I still wanted to read it. The story sounded interesting and I've read a lot of amazing reviews for it, so I decided to try the audiobook, and I think this is the best way to read these books, because it was amazing.

This was my second audiobook, so I was still trying it out, but Dairy Queen made me fall in love with audiobooks. Natalie Moore is an amazing narrator for this book, with the accent and everything. And the conversation-like writing that annoyed me while I was reading, made me love the book in audio. It felt like D.J. was standing next to me telling her story.

I'm not a big fan of football, but that didn't matter as I listened. I really enjoyed listening to D.J. as she trained Brian Nelson, the quarterback of her school's rival football team. And I loved the fact that her training Brian gave her the incentive it try out for her school's football team.

I don't even know what else to say in this review. I loved D.J. and her relationship with her brothers (I have 2 older brother so I definitely understood and appreciated the relationship), I loved her and Brian's relationship, and I loved listening as D.J. found her voice (that sounds really corny, but it's true)

I absolutely loved this book and I definitely recommend listening to the audio over reading the book. Especially if you're looking for something light, but still has some great depth to it.
