Summmer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand got me so pumped about the next book in this series. We get a quick update with Favor, Brice, Jana, Wayne and Cal and what an update it is.

Everyone is on summer break and heading to New York on a roadtrip. Everything started out the way everyone expected but things changed quickly.

It was so nice getting caught up with everyone and get a sneak peak on what the story line for the next book is.

The story flew by, wish it had been a little longer only because I like this group a lot.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand. I love Autumn Sand so when I see her name I’m reading it. This is a short novella and it helps if you have read Joe Football first. Its the continuing story of Brice & Favor, college students who take a summer break to travel to New York with their friend Egon. Egon is in a band and they are going to New York to record an album. Along the way the trip is full of different personalities, moods and tempers. It’s an eventful trip! Even though this is a novella its a fast paced love story and it really gets you involved. You really need to read this quick, fun book. Its full of trouble, love and fun personalities! Brice and Favor have been thru so much will this trip be the end of them or will it make them stronger than ever? Read Summer Break to find out!

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand was a fun read. I enjoyed it a lot. It had been a while since I read the first book. It was nice to see Favor and Brice again as well as the other characters. Overall I felt like it was well done. It was a short and quick read. It was full romance but not over the top. A great book on communication and friendship. 4 star rating.

Summer Break by Autumn Sand was a very short but precious book. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the book that came before this one so I feel as if I missed a lot of background story and information pertaining to the characters but it didn’t take anything away from this book. I was able to follow along and understand things just fine. I enjoyed the characters, their personalities, and the storyline of this book. A group of friends going off on a summer vacation… what can be better than that? There was a lot of emotions packed in to this book in the form of secrets and the ins and outs of friendships. It was written very well and gripped me from start to finish.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella is a standalone by Autumn Sand and it is part of her college romance series of Joe Football. It was such a fun to meet up with Favor, Brice, Jana, Wayne and Cal again and be part of their road trip to New York.
I have read more or less everything that Autumn has written and I think it does not matter whether she writes for us grown-ups or for young adults, she hits the spot every time! Even when the story seems so straight forward on the surface, she manages to throw in a curveball and that is also the case with this novella … at times love is just not enough and secrets do have power to tear friends apart!
I am looking forward to whatever comes next in the Joe Football series and I am keeping my fingers crossed that Autumn gives us …

Summer Break (A Joe Football Novella) by author Autumn Sand follows the events of Joe Football showing what the group is up to during their summer break. Brice, Favor, Wayne, Jana and Cal are on their way to NYC to spend the summer with their friend Egon and his band. While there they will question relationships, love and life. Choices will be made, secrets found out and friendships tested before the end of the summer. What will become of this group of friends?
It has been a while since I read Joe Football and you really need to read that before taking on Summer Break. Once I started Summer Break though, it all started coming back to me and I enjoyed seeing what happens with this core group of friends. I can’t wait to see what comes next for Brice and Favor as well as Jana and Wayne!

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is a great Novella. This series should be read in order to get the full story of what is going on. This is a continuation of Favor and Brice. It’s a couple I have grown to love. They have not had an easy time but any obstacles have brought them closer together with a stronger bond.
While on summer break they find out some information that can tear their group of close knit friends apart. I’m dying right now worrying about what will happen.
I have been a huge fan of this author since the first book I’ve read of hers. This series is a bit different from what I’ve read of hers but, I love it and cannot wait to see what happens next.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand reunites us with Brice and Favor from “Joe Football”. I enjoyed the first book- so catching up with Brice and Favor for this story was an added bonus.
It could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading Joe Football before beginning this book- as there is a lot of backstory and other important information that is worth knowing in order to enhance your reading experience of this book.
This is a short story, with a fast pace- which makes it a very quick and easy read. Though it may be small in size, there is nothing lacking about the story, or content- there was a lot packed into a small space and it felt like a much longer story (in a good way).
Brice and Favor have been through so much, and are taking a much needed break. We follow along as these two travel to New York with their friend Egon, who is playing in a band. But just because they are off to have fun doesn’t mean it will all be smooth sailing for them.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Sand.

Thank you, Autumn Sand!

Summer Break by Autumn Sand a super five-star read. This is a novella in the Joe Football series, it could be read as stand-alone but I would recommend you read Joe Football first, to get the most out of the story, or else you would want to go back and read it and you would have major spoilers. Favor, Favor, Favor what are we to do with you, you break my heart every time. (not just because she gets to snuggle up next to Brice at night) These characters will make you care about them even in such a short amount of pages, you would be sorry to miss this novella as it does a great job of bringing a great and complex story together in a short amount of pages and still making it hookable.

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is a Joe Football Novella. This book is a standalone novella. If you want more backstory on Brice and Favor, I suggest reading Joe Football first. You won’t miss anything if you don’t though.

Brice and Favor’s friend Egon is in New York City recording an album with his band. Favor decided that it would be a great idea for their whole group to spend the summer in New York City together and have some fun! What does the summer hold for Brice and Favor? What about the rest of the group? One things for sure, they will make some memories.

This was such a good book to read. It was a quick read but didn’t make you feel like it was missing anything. I really enjoyed this book!

Summer Break is a novella which is part of the Joe Football series. Although part of this series it can be read as a novella. I have read a lot of Autumn Sand’s work but had not read Brice and Favor’s story, which I now need to remedy, but the author does a great job in filling in any necessary info needed to understand what’s going on.
I really loved this novella. Brice & Favor and the group of friends they are on their break with seem like a great bunch of people with so many stories to be told. I really want to know what’s going to happen with Jana and Wayne. There is definitely a great story to be told and I’m sure Autumn Sand will do a fantastic job.
Every book of her I’ve read has fantastic characters and also storylines that really grasp you and leave you unable to put the book down and this novella was no different. She really does know how to bring great characters to life and give them a damn good story to hook the reader.
I loved this novella and really must go and read Brice and Favor’s story as, judging by the little snippets of their past we are given, it looks like one hell of a story.

What’s a road trip without a few bumps? Especially with 5 people in the same car! This is a fun, quick, sweet read about Brice and Favor and their friends, with an emphasis on their friendships. Brice and Favor are still hot and heavy starting in chapter 1 but the rest of the story is mostly about relationship changes and communication.

I suggest reading Joe Football as you will understand these characters a little bit more. Things happened in that story that aren’t quite explained in this novella.

Looking forward to what comes next since Autumn Sand ending this story so dramatically!

Summmer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand. Oh I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to be back with this amazing couple I met a while back. You can read this as a stand-alone but I will recommend the Joe football story as it’s just as amazing and introduces Most the characters. Brice and Favor just hold a piece of my heart and I was glad to be reading about them again along with their friends. Once again this author brings romance to a new level and takes readers on an adventure that won’t be forgotten with characters that steal your heart. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It may be a novella but it still packed full with everything you’d want in a story. Five stars all the way!

Let me start by saying that It’s been a while since I read Joe Football (book 1). I reread my review and went wow….I really loved that book. Once I delved into this one it all came back. The characters, the story…it’s like I never left. This one is just as engaging and thought provoking. My only wish was that it’s a full fledged story. Yes I am going to use the dreaded word of cliffhanger. I am not a fan of them.

Anyway we get to hang out with Brice, Favor and the crew for a bit in the summer. It’s nice to see Egon playing and being so musicianish. Even Wayne is there hoping for something with Jana. Cal and his dance skills make their debut as well. Brice and Favor are still making google-oogly eyes at each other.

Another good story from Autumn Sand. I look forward to more.

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is A Joe Football Novella. This book can be read as a standalone and is a great quick story that provides more backstory to already loved characters.
It was great to be able to jump back into these characters. As a short read I found this book to be perfect for a lazy afternoon where I could let myself get lost in the characters and their story. The author has done a great job of creating a story that is short but also packing a punch. It never at any point felt like it was rushed or missing something.
I would definitely say that if you had read Joe Football then you need to add on this story. If you haven’t then this is a great way to showcase these characters and the writing skill of this author.

I was really excited to read this novella after reading and loving Joe Football and it didn’t disappoint at all. I loved seeing the characters back again and reading about their summer! Autumn Sand is absolutely one of my favourite authors so whilst this book is only a novella because of the type of author she is, it was really well written and there was just enough detail in it to keep me interested. There were also a few small unexpected twists in the story which I loved! It could be read as a standalone but I think to fully understand the characters and their background I would definitely recommend reading Joe Football first.
Summer Break was another wonderful ready from Autumn Sand and one that I highly recommend!

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella is the first I have ready by Autumn Sand. It definitely had a novella feel to it, as it didn’t go very deep. I felt like it was a little lacking and I wasn’t fully invested in any of the characters. This could be because I haven’t read Joe Football, which sounds like it would give the background. So while this can be a stand alone, its a brief skim of their summer, and wasn’t detailed enough to pull me in. I recommend reading the first book first, to be fully invested. Overall the story was not bad, and I definitely want to know what happens to Wayne and Jana, so I plan to read the next book when it is released. However, as far as Brice and Favor, being the main characters, I wasn’t as interested as I would hope. The bonds between the characters are well written, and the emotions are felt throughout the story. I like the writing style of Sand, and will be reading more. I just need to go back and read the first book to be able to appreciate this one more.

Reading this quick gem has made me want to go back and reread the first book. I love these characters and this story although quite short was jam packed full of vintage Autumn Sand, who couldn’t move up much further on my favorites list.

When all they wanted to do was have an awesome summer break, you just know that there’s a lot more to come than cupcakes and rainbows lol secrets and relationships tested. I loved it and can’t recommend it high enough!

Read Joe Football before this one, which is what I’m going back to do so I’m all ready for the next in this series…I can not wait!

Autumn Sand has outdone herself with this Joe Football Novella, Summer Break. The cover alone makes you want to read the book especially when I figured out it belonged to Autumn Sand and her Joe Football series. I would recommend that you read the first book in the series before diving into this one as it is a continuation of Brick and Favor’s story. It has our favorite characters experiencing summer break and all that it brings them. Of course we will get a small underlying message much like all the other books I have had the pleasure of reading by Autumn Sand prior to this. I loved that it was just spicy enough for me and I would still feel comfortable letting my teen read it. I loved the secrets and all that it did for the storyline. They were not done in a cliche way either so bonus! I can’t wait to see what we will get next for these characters and more from Autumn Sand!

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand is a college romance story and a nice extension of the first book in the series of Joe Football. It is a quick and easy read that tells the tale of the friendships of those in the first book. I would suggest that you read Joe Football first so you get to know the characters and who they are. Autumn has done a great job on this one, even though it is full of the normal YA stressors and the underlying theme of being able to communicate with those you love. I love the characters, some are very mature whilst others are stilling trying to deal with life as it is thrown at them.

Secrets threaten to tear the friends apart and sometimes love it just not enough.

If you loved Joe Football you will love this Autumn does not let you down.

I loved getting to see these characters again. Didn’t realize how much I missed them until I dove into this book.
While we follow Brice and Favor in their POV, we are also getting a huge secondary story of Wayne and Jana. (Can’t wait for that one, it’s going to be emotional I can just tell)
Brice and Favor are spending the summer with friends and don’t expect What all happens to happen. They’re wanting fun and bonding and they get drama and high emotions. I felt all of everything in this book, and while its quick it packs its punches well. Can’t wait to get more from this group of characters.

She creates a read that has a captivating storyline that you can’t help but get invested in, but also create characters that you can’t help but love and enjoy following their journey and hope they get a HEA. This book is no different and I loved it from start to finish and didn’t want it to end. For this being s novella, it didn’t feel rushed and wasn’t lacking in storyline, emotions or content.

A Joe Football Novella
By Autumn Sand
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This may be a novella, but it is loaded with romance. Safe for teens as well as it will leave a message on communication.

Brick and Favor’s continued story. Please take the time to read Joe Football first. While I did not, I know desire to go back to the first book. Anyhoo these college students are taking a break and traveling to New York. To support Egon. Let’s not forget the other friends who will take this journey. Everyone in one vehicle, many temperaments. Many secrets and so much more.

Autumn Sand has done a great job with this fast paced novella. Her characters are amazing. Brick and Favor’s backgrounds will surprise you as they did me. There is nothing better than reading a romance from the pure side. I will be going back to Joe Football and then wait for the next in this series. Job well done Autumn Sand!

This is a super short novella that further explores the friendships formed in JOE FOOTBALL. This is a stand-alone because whenever a past event is explored, we are given enough background information to understand.

This book bridges to the next in the series and I think it does a great job building the anticipation.

The story Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand is an amazing novella to read. It hooked me from the beginning, and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. I loved reading about Brice and Favor again. They have been through tough times however have come out stronger because of it and also closer. To get the full story and background of the characters it is suggested that you read Joe Football first. You will not be disappointed by either story. Brice, Favor, and their friends are off when Brice’s best friend Egon goes to New York to record an album with his band. What will happen on this trip?
