Recommend A... (12)

Welcome to "Recommend A...", a fun new meme created by Shanyn over at Chick Loves Lit. Shanyn will post a new prompt each week, and anyone interested in participating will post a book recommendation that follows the prompt. A fun and different way to get recommendations!

This week's prompt is: Recommend a Book with a Character that Plays a Sport

Today I'm bringing you a collection of short stories all revolving around Argyle High School and it's football team.  I wasn't sure I would like this book, but Alden Carter does an amazing job of creating a true high school experience.  Humor, drama, heartbreak, anger, love: it's all within these pages.   

Love, Football, and Other Contact Sports

A book written in short stories, Love, Football and Other Contact Sports follows the life and times of the Argyle High School student body. Featuring the football team to the social outcasts, each character interconnects in the way that only surviving high school can do. Be it a conflict between a pacifist and a hothead or a feminist and a Neanderthal tradition, each story shapes the experiences of the Argyle High students that teenagers will relate to immediately.
