Player by Hattie Jude Release and Review

I was so excited to see that we were getting to read Ever’s story. If you have read the three books that are also in the Loxley Prep world then you know exactly who Ever is. She is Lennon’s best friend and we finally finally get her story. Ever and her sister really have a back story and she worked her butt off to get in Loxley Prep so that she can go to college and get her and her sister out of there so they can live a nice and comfortable life. Safe and sound never to be found again. She has sworn off a social life and doesn’t date. When she gets a new neighbor she really scares the boy but then goes to apologize but his big brother Ethan hates her with a fiery passion and she can’t figure out why. Quite frankly he is horrible to her at times. He is the newest star on the schools hockey team and checks on his mom and brother regularly and is really protective of his brother. He doesn’t even like for Ever to bring him a plate of food. Ever has a heart of gold because she would go hungry for Ethan’s brother to eat. Then you have her life at school and the two boys there. Roscoe is the coaches son and he has always had a thing for Ever. He’s been trying to work up his never since freshmen year but he is carrying around something huge that is reeking havoc on his life. Jude is also on the team and super hot. He is also what I would call the most outgoing and he too has had a crush on Ever but stayed out the way for Roscoe and is finally tired of waiting. Ever though is terrified to let anyone in since she knows they will go their separate ways one day when they go off to college of the NHL. I thin Jude is the only one that has a life where he isn’t carrying a secret except of Roscoe’s. I just love Ever. I love her loyalty to her friends and how she wanted a better like than they had ever been able to have. How she really liked the boys but was focused on the goal so much and trying to save them all heartbreak. Ethan has a lot going on that no one knows about but so does Roscoe and he’s carrying around an explosive secret. I was surprised when all the secrets came out especially what is revealed about Ethan’s mom and her procurer. I can’t say anymore or I have going to give something away. I loved this book and devoured it in a day and never wanted it to end. Now I can only hope that we are going to get the full story of Sadie and Harris.
