The beauty and the basketball player

February 6, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

Katie Vickery is a sorority pledge and there is no way she can show up to a party without a date. Having just broken up with her jerky football player boyfriend, she’s at a bit of a loss, until her roommate Scarlet sets her up with a childhood friend, Andrew Baschnagel. While Katie normally dates football players, at least Andy is an athlete and an upperclassman, even if the sport is basketball. Of course, Katie pretty much wants to eat worms than go to the […]

I finally read it too

January 30, 2016 by Malin 4 Comments

4.5 stars Corey Callahan was expecting to go to prestigious Harkness College as a varsity hockey player, but instead arrives there in a wheelchair, after ending up partly paralysed from the wait down after an accident on the ice.

Blonde Date: I can’t deny that this was a pretty adorable aside in The Ivy Years series. I wasn’t going to bother with it because short stories and novellas aren’t really my thing, but I was convinced by all the people who loved it. Katie, a freshman, is still adjusting and trying to find a place to belong at college. She’s pledging a sorority and has dated a few athletes, but due to a humiliating experience with one of them, she’s feeling a little unsteady. […]
