About book Opposing Sides (2014)

I read this book in just over a day. It was shorter than most books I read, but I loved it. It was an easy, quirky romance and I was hooked from the very beginning.I love books like this. I guess I'm a sucker for a love triangle and I'm glad this one didn't make it too hard to decide to who chose. I loved Raven but wished there was a bit more from him in this story. You didn't really find too much out about him but I liked this flirty personality and how cheeky he is at times.I hated Collin so wished there was less of him. I still want to find out why he was so distant and I have an inkling, but now I can move onto book two and find out more about Raven. Grace FitzgibbonEnglish 810/16/14Reading Review-Opposing Sides by CM DePorto -Lexi is a college senior planning her wedding with the love of her life, Colin Norris. She comes from a very loving family that has strong values about life and marriage. Her parents sheltered her and influenced every decision she has ever made. She has never really made any life decisions on her own until now. Lexi is a good student only looking for a way to get away from everything and do things on her own.-Colin is Lexi’s fiance and the star baseball player. He and Lexi have known eachother since they were young teenagers. Colin and Lexi’s families have greatly influenced their relationship and encouraged their marriage. Colin is a very sweet and family oriented young man. -Raven is the star football player that Lexi starts tutoring. He is very charismatic and athletic. He is known as the “bad boy” who is always looking for a good time. He begins to help Lexi see that there is more to life than getting married to Colin.-Lexis Mom is an over-protective parent. She has home-schooled Lexi until she finally sends her off to college. Lexi’s mother got pregnant at 16 years old and has spent her entire life ensuring that Lexi doesn’t make the same mistake that she did. All she wants is for Lexi to marry Colin, a close family friend.-- Lexi is making an important decision in her life; this decision could affect her future greatly. Lexi wants to impress her parents by making the right decision. Lexi’s sister has “set the bar high” for her; she has a good paying job, a nice husband and 2 kids. But Lexi is not ready to “wear those high heels” yet nor is she ready to get a job and make money. All she wants to do is teach kids. However, when Colin asks her to marry him, she says yes because she thinks her parents would be proud that she is marrying a “nice boy”. During her wedding plans, she starts to tutor this boy named Raven Davenport. He is every girl’s dream boyfriend and every parent’s nightmare. Raven is the starting QB for the football team. Lexi starts to realize that Raven is not such a bad guy; he opens up her eyes and shows her how to have a different kind of fun. Colin is a great guy but can he open up her eyes like Raven has? - Lexi is getting happily married to the “love of her life” according to her mother. Lexi feels pressured and unsure about this decision; she loves Colin but he can’t give her the “fun” things that Raven has been showing her. As she gets to know “bad boy” Raven Davenport her perspective on getting married to Colin changes. Colin provides her a good stable environment that her parents want for her but now does she want that? Raven is an entertaining guy that likes to do things that she would never dream of doing with Colin. Colin is a safe bet and is a good kid that you wouldn't see doing anything bad. On the other hand, Raven is bad news, he likes have parties and a good time. Raven brings out a side of Lexi and shows her a different way of living than her parents and Colin want for her. Lexi has a huge decision to make and she doesn't want to disappoint her parents, Colins parents or Colin for that matter. - I personally enjoyed this book because it showed me how to keep my eyes open and not to assume anyone is bad until I actually get to know them for myself. In this book Lexi never dreamed her life would be any different than becoming a teacher and marrying Colin. A very simple and predictable life, until she met Raven, all that changed. Her parents kept her sheltered so she wouldn’t make that same mistake that her mother made by getting pregnant at the young age of 16. I also learned that parents shouldn't shelter their kids too much because they might end up like them ,unhappy or not make the best decisions for themselves.
