Summary

Qualifying for Nationals. It’s all I can think about, and I’m willing to do anything it takes to make it happen. I can handle long miles and hill sprints in cross country, but guys? That’s an entirely different challenge.

I’ve kept my feelings hidden from the boy next door all this time. My longtime friend Jace Wilder doesn’t see me that way. He has the personal magnetism and good looks to hook just about any girl in town - and he has. Our friendship stands apart from high school social circles, and I’m fine with that, or so I keep telling myself.

That is, until running star Ryan Harding moves to town and bridges the gap. Apparently, I’ve caught his eye, and suddenly Jace starts seeing me in a different light. Everything changes, for all of us.

On the trails, my goals are clear. Train, run, breathe, run, win. But when it comes to Jace and Ryan, it’s nowhere near as simple. This battle can’t be won by crossing a finish line; this war is in my heart.

Pepped Up

YA Friends to lovers, which is normally one of my favorite tropes. I liked Pepper more than Jace. I didn't really care for the ending and don't know if I will continue the series. I did think it was an ok/enjoyable read- listen because of Pepper and the narration.

Reviewed for Audiobook Obsession

First I will say I loved Bunny, she is a hoot, not your typical grandmother. My heart goes out to Pepper, I admire her even with all the turmoil in her life she holds it together where it counts. I found it a shame however that she can’t make the right decision in the two boys that are vying for her attention, Ryan steady, stable, Jace troubled, not reliable.
Will move on maybe, it’s not to late!
Stacey, did a wonderful job with all the characters in this audible book.

Excellent story!

This is a great story that has been well written.

Pepper is a runner who is very good. She won States last year and her goal is to qualify for nationals.

Jase is her friend and has been for many years. They grew up together. He’s a football player who is also good. They run in different circles at school and he parties a lot and Pepper doesn’t party.

Ryan, new in their school, also a runner , he won at nationals last year. He and Pepper are attracted to each other and start dating.

What happens when they do is a series of issues that make you want to keep listening. There’s many sides to all of these people, and Ali Dean is showing us all of them! Looking for book 2 immediately!!!

Stacey Glemboski did a wonderful job with the voices in this book!!! They were easily discernible and all pleasant to listen to.

Brilliant

I love Ali Dean, Pepper and Jace shouldn’t work but I was just rooting for them the whole way through. Can’t wait to listen to the next book and find out what’s next.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Perfect young love read

Pepper has been friends with Jase since they were young...
She’s always loved him
Then that loved turned to more than friendship love...

But Jase is keeping secrets and starts pushing her away..
Until Ryan enters the scene..he really likes pepper but he knows she will never look at him the way she looks at Jase ...

I really enjoyed this book
Full of fist time crushes
Angst
And love

I got so involved in the story,loved the narration

Stacey Glemboski does such a good job narrating this story that I got so sucked into it I forgot I was listening to just one person. That's a great success in my book.

I love this story so much. I felt for the characters even if I didn't understand why they were doing what they were doing. I really didn't want it to end where it did and I'm desperate to know what happens next!

Loved it

I really enjoyed this audio.

Pepper is a good girl. She’s kind and sweet. She’s in love with her best friend Jace and I don’t think he deserves her. I want her to choose Ryan. I’m hoping Jace redeems himself.

Stacey Glemboski did an amazing job narrating.

Great start to an already addictive YA series.

Confession: I started with book 4 and now I’m here for the full story.

I was completely immersed in throughout. Pepper Jones is such a sweet and driven girl. But boy does Jace Wilder have a hold of her heart. Life long best friends and she’s been in crush with him forever.
It’s maddening to see Jace living it up on the wild side while actively controlling their friendship and any outside interest in Pepper. We’ve probably all been there... I know I have do it was so easy to relate but so frustrating nonetheless.

I cannot wait to dive into book 2. I feel like these characters will stay with me for a very long time.

Great start to an already addictive YA series.

lost for words

this book was amazing , I really felt all the highs and lows as if I was in the book along side the characters, cheering Pepper on with her running and with Jace , thankfully this book is mostly highs and I'm so glad I took a chance to listen to it as it really really hooked me in and did not let go ! cant wait to listen to the rest of the books in the series
