Blindsided by T. Christensen – Review by Lauren West

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I went into this book unsure what to expect, and I came out overjoyed that I picked it up. Its a book that showcases jealousy, teenage angst, bullying, and a sheep like mentality. There was soo much in this book that brought out emotions as a mom and then also as the teenager I once was.
Kirsa and Brock were best friends since the dawn of time practically and when Victoria moved in she became that 3rd part of the group. When a misunderstanding takes place it puts Kirsa on the outside of that friendship and leads to intense bullying and harassment. Brock and Victoria become that King of Queen of mean making Kirsa’s life miserable. When new boy Rylan arrives he and Kirsa bond, and things that were unsaid come to light regarding her past friendships.
Its a very emotional read, but such a good one. Kirsa was braver than she knew, and she made it through those tough years and eventually truly stood up for herself. A lot of people say love and hate regarding Brock, but I feel he was a boy being lead astray. All in all this was a great story and it will definitely bring out something in you once you read it.
