    My favorite part of this book was when DJ was having a really bad day and while listing the reasons why she said "I found out that I have been dating my best friend for over a year and I didn't even know it."

    I really want to listen too the sequel The Off Season but my library doesn't offer it. Guess I'll just have to read it.

  • This was a really great story. DJ, at 15, has taken over the family farm, which has made being a teen just that much more difficult. Especially when the rival QB shows up in her driveway.

    When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said. Harsh words indeed, from Brian Nelson of all people. But, D. J. can't help admitting, maybe he's right. When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said. Stuff like why her best friend, Amber, isn't so friendly anymore. Or why her little brother, Curtis, never opens his mouth. Why her mom has two jobs and a big secret. Why her college-football-star brothers won't even call home. Why her dad would go ballistic if she tried out for the high school football team herself. And why Brian is so, so out of her league. When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said. Welcome to the summer that fifteen-year-old D. J. Schwenk of Red Bend, Wisconsin, learns to talk, and ends up having an awful lot of stuff to say.

    I loved this book! I would love to see this as a movie. I think there might be a plan for a sequel. I think the author did a great job capturing the voice of a 16-year-old. The narrator sounded like she was from Northern WI. I think it would make a good discussion book. The family relationships were done very well.
