This book has the enemy to lovers troup I absolutely love in books. I like how it goes to past and present, but isn’t confusing between the two. The characters are amazing. I can relate most to Kirsa and not having much friends and being bullied. There is definitely some heartbreak in this story and I teared up a lot. I couldn’t put this book down and wish I could give it more stars.

Best friends from an early age, Brock turns into Kirsa’s biggest bully at the word of Victoria. The three were inseparable until rumors were spread. Kirsa denies spreading them but Victoria and Brock don’t believe her. They make her life hell in high school. I’m senior year, Rylan moves in. He befriends the friendless Kirsa and things start to change. Opinion This book is a must for those who love sorts romances or enemies to lovers. Set in high school, it does contain sex so keep it out of the hands of younger readers. They way Kirsa’s life is destroyed only to rebuilt again is unbelievable. I only have one question, what happened to the guilty party?

This story drew me right from the beginning. I couldn’t put this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen. Kirsa and Brock have been best friends since they were four and a few years later Victoria becomes their friend as well. Then something happens that ruins the friendship. Being a teenager is hard and then insert lies, misunderstandings, hormones, and gossip makes it even harder. I felt so bad for Kirsa, no teenager should be treated that way. I found myself so angry because Brock and Victoria couldn’t just leave Kirsa alone. I was so happy when Rylan showed up during senior year. Rylan didn’t give in to peer pressure and I liked him even more for that. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This is a must read.

I don’t know what it is about this author but every time I have read one of her books I have a horrible time putting it down. I think I managed to read this one in less than a day which for me is fast.
There were several moments that made me mad and uncomfortable. I couldn’t get over how cruel everyone was. I remember being a bit of a jerk and could have been considered a bully towards a few people but never in life would I have taken it that far.
Of all of the characters Rylan was by far my favorite and would definitely consider him a hero.
This book will suck you in and you will find yourself reading it instead of anything you may need to do. So if you plan to read it clear your calendar.

BFF->E->L HS Bully; such a good read if you like that stuff!
5 Stars. Would give it more if I could!
I admit it, I’m in love with he Bully Romance genre/trope, and I don’t care who knows it. This one though is up there as one of the best I’ve read in terms of keeping me engaged and wanting to know what happens next. I could NOT put this one down (legit stayed up all night reading it…whoops.).
While this novel doesn’t have much else to it other than the bullying and the relationship between Brock and Kirsa, it was believable and an enjoyable read. I will say I figured out the endgame pretty quick, but I desperately wanted to know how they got there. Sometimes it’s not about figuring out the ending, but rather the journey to get there. You will want to pul your hair out in frustration at times though due to Brock’s thickheadedness, but it’s oh so worth it.
I think one of the reasons I enjoy the bully trope so much is because of the strength of the character being bullied, to deal with everything being thrown their way, but still forging forward and seeing the good in people and a future without the bullying, and Kirsa does not disappoint in that aspect. Even when we see her pushed down and ready to give up there’s a strength and resilience about it that says she will not stay down.
Brock does semi grow up throughout the novel, realizing he’s not as certain as he thought about the circumstances, but of course it had to take him being jealous to come to that conclusion (oh the romance genre falling back on good ole tropes). I can appreciate the reason behind him being so stubborn though and what that means for/about him as a person (well, character).
Also, I loved Rylan as a side character and would love to get a novel, or at least a novella, about him and his journey to finding love.
This novel is more of a New Adult novel as it does include graphic language and explicit sexual situations, and does start with the characters fairly young, but I was reading way worse than this at 13/14 in terms of sex content. I don’t know that I would have been okay with the bully aspect included here at that age though. This is also a novel about high school characters, so if age is an issue I recommend something else, where the characters are in college or older.

WOW! Welcome to high school where nothing is as it seems and reputations mean everything. Blindsided has all the drama you’d expect from high school and friendships forged in unforgettable circumstances in one story. Brock is easy to hate, yet you’re compelled to not give up on him. Kirsa is easy to love; she just wants a chance to live the life she once had without the hate that follows her. You’ll feel so many emotions and possibly even want to knock some sense into a few characters along the way!

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen Four Stars
Do you know when you have a really good book? I know when an author really engages my emotions. This book had me laughing a little and crying a lot. It was beautifully written. The characters were bold and detailed. The subject matter on bullying was described well by the author, but really made me emotional with my thoughts. This book had all the feels and then some. That is why this author is one of my favorites with her angsty reads.

I love a good romance. Kirsa and Brock have known each other since they were 4. Even at such a young age, they had a connection. Kirsa was the girl that Brock dragged everywhere, including all his sports stuff. When Kirsa finally gets the treehouse she has been begging her parents for, a new girl, Victoria shows up. They were a dynamic duo, that turned in to a trio, but could it last? This story struck a strong cord with me, it does contain bullying. As my kids were bullied in school, it really pulled at my heart strings. I was proud of Brock for realizing that maybe he hadn’t been right for the last three years and tried to make things right. But would it be enough? The characters drew me in and the storyline kept me turning the pages. Am intrigued to read some of this authors other books now.

This is the first YA book I have read since I began teaching high school. It is awesome! The characters completely resonate with high school students and their turbulent emotions. I found the flow of the story to be believable. Completely engrossed in the novel, I enjoyed a cathartic sob session. A character that I found to be reprehensible redeemed himself throughout the telling, and I found myself rooting for him in the end, and I am reminded that people grow and change over time.

This book really had a way of pulling me in and wanting to find out what would happen next. The characters were very well written, even though at times I didn’t like them very much! There was the perfect amount of angst, emotion, betrayal and heartbreak to make it grab at your heartstrings. A lot of times I get confused when a book goes from the past to present, but this one was written in a way where it touched on the past without being confusing. I really enjoyed this book!

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The fact that this book starts at the beginning of their friendship makes me happy. I like reading through them growing up and it makes it go a little faster.
Kirsa has been bestfriends with Brock since they were kids. When Victoria comes around things start to change. Then they get to high school and he changes. The quote I chose for Kirsa is: “Your mom said at least twenty people are coming. When did it get so big, and why didn’t you tell me?”
Brock has stuck up for Kirsa since they were kids. Even as they get older he’s always been there for her. Can he get over being the popular kid and get back to being her best friend? The quote I chose for Brock is: “Fine. But I’m not going to pretend to be a girl or play with dolls.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I enjoyed this book a lot. In many ways, it reflects situations, emotions, experiences we all have as teenagers. There’s always the person we grew up with that changes in high school, there are always mean girls (and guys), there is always miscommunication and strong emotion with all the teenagers and their hormones and getting into adult situations…Kirsa and Brock were really fun to read about in the beginning, before it all happened. I felt warm and fuzzy reading about them and how much they cared about each other. It’s really wild how much things can change as we get older and start meeting new people. There’s a lot of emotions in this book, and they’re presented so well. I recommend this read.

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.

Uh-maze-zing! This story of finding friendship and love through betrayal was fantastic.
Kirsa met Brock when they were just 4 years old. After initially slamming him into the sand because he destroyed her sand castle, they were best friends. Kirsa and Brock did everything together, play football, study, share secrets, and hang out with the guys.
Just before the beginning of 2nd grade, their twosome became a threesome with the addition of Victoria, the new girl in the neighborhood. As they grew older, Brock and Victoria became more popular while Kirsa, who was extremely shy, stayed in the background. Brock was her defender and protector from all the others at school that didn’t understand their friendship. At the beginning of their freshmen year, Kirsa saw something that broke her heart and was the end of the threesome.
Brock could only take one side. He took Victoria’s. He believed Victoria. From that day popular Brock and Victoria made it their mission to isolate and terrorize Kirsa, leaving her friendless and alone. Three years later as they are beginning their senior year of high school, Kirsa is still friendless. Enter Rylan, the new guy. Rylan doesn’t heed Brock’s warnings to stay away from Kirsa. Rylan befriends her anyway. Through the new found friendship with Rylan, Kirsa starts to rediscover some of her strength. Brock can’t stand the relationship between Rylan and Kirsa. As Brock starts to break away from the influence that Victoria has held on him since that day in 9th grade, Brock starts to discover that maybe everything isn’t what he has believed all this time.
The author made me believe that highschool could be a place of redemption. The characters, especially Kirsa, are so smartly developed. They each have such depth. I love the scenes between Kirsa and Rylan where they are comfortable and in each other’s space enough that it drives Brock completely crazy. This book makes you feel all the feelings through each character. Fantastic! Wonderful! Great story!!

This was another great book from this author. I have read a couple of her other books and it was just as heartwarming as the others. This one is about a couple of friends that become enemies and it’s not your typical friends to lover’s story. Far from it. She did a wonderful job pulling me into the story from the first chapter. I didn’t want to put this book down. I was quite surprised by the ending and hope that there is at least one more story to come in this story. If you enjoy romantic relationship stories with some forks in the road this is a book for you. I highly recommend it.

This is a great contemporary romance by an author who I’ve read several times before and always enjoyed their writing. Set in a high school it is a great example of just how terrifying and awful high school can be if you are not one of the ‘in’ crowd; even worse in this case, as the ‘in’ crowd are out to make her life as miserable and hard as possible. My heart broke so many times for Kirsa during this book. I admired her amazing bravery to continue going to school every day not knowing what horrors awaited her. I do have one little misgiving with the story: I struggle with how Brock never gave her a chance to give her side of the story and chose to believe the rumours. If he truly was her best friend then surely he would have known she was not capable of what she was accused of. Of course, if that was the case then we wouldn’t have this great story that had me hooked. The author does a great job of making the reader hate some characters and for me that is one thig that makes a good writer: the ability to make you really hate a character. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others.

This book was incredible. I truly can’t remember a time where a book illicited the whole reel of feels from me but I laughed, I cried, I was angry and sad. It was so well written with such a relatable story line! While “bully” romances aren’t for everyone, this book checked all the boxes! I cannot wait to get more from the author and couldn’t reccomend enough! Grab it and read the jagged tale of Krista, Brock, and Victoria.

I’ve decided I have a love/hate relationship with Blindsided. I loved the book, don’t get me wrong, but Brock is where my love hate relationship begins. I hate Brock once we get to the present day! He loved Kirsa, you could tell from the very beginning from the younger years’ chapters, but what he did to her despite that made me hate him. Yes did her eventually grow and take his blinders off when it comes to her, yes but that doesn’t fix the past. That he made the girl he loved and cherished his whole life, high school years miserable, putting her into complete isolation and ridicule. Then there’s Victoria, I didn’t like her the minute she entered the story. The ones who always seem nice that never are. Boy was I not wrong in the assessment. She too took pleasure in Kirsa’s pain but for her own selfish reasons. And last but certainly not least is Kirsa, the character I feel for. As someone who dealt with my share of bullying, that in turn gave me the “ I don’t care what people think attitude” as well. Life is not easy when you have others making it miserable. I commend the way the author wrote this character because it’s very realistic in a sense. Unfortunately so many people succumb to the bullying, the author wrote a strong character in Kirsa that allowed her to remain strong, to rise up above everyone else and not break to them. Does she eventually break, yes but it’s not in the way one would seem. She lost the person she loved since she was 4, because of something she didn’t do. Does she get to redeem herself? You will have to read and find out. *Trigger Warning* If bullying is an issue for you, you may want to think hard before jumping right into this book. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. It’s wonderfully written and at times sad and painful to read, but it’s worth it!

This was a really good sports romance, I really enjoyed it. Having read stories by this author previously I was really looking forward to this book and I wasn’t disappointed. The writing was great, the pace and flow excellent and I really liked the characters – there was certainly a lot of angst going on between them that’s for sure! Krista’s character really broke my heart at times, the way the author write about her and everything that she went through made her feel so real and I felt like I was experiencing some of the emotions she did right with her. I really liked Rylan, he was really genuine and such a good friend for Krista. Overall, a really nice story with great characters. I would highly recommend this book!

Wow, what an emotional roller coaster! The lead character Kirsa goes through so much. This story took me back to high school and how hard it can be as you’re growing, having to deal with big feelings, and trying to find where you belong. I’m amazed that Kirsa kept going when she had no friends to talk to or confide in. The story kept my attention and I kept reading to find out more. There were some tough points that got me emotionally. Overall, it’s a great story that brings up some hard things that makes you want to do better and be that person someone like Kirsa can lean on.

Emotional whiplash This book had me raging one minute and then cheering the next. I was beyond frustrated as the events unfolded that I nearly threw my kindle across the room. It takes a good book to really affect my emotions on such a physical level – and this book did just that. I felt every bit of anxiety, pain and betrayal. The writing will draw you in but the characters and their story will keep you glued until the end.

I really have to be in a certain mood to read bully romances and it seems I was in one of those when i started this book. I was so heartbroken reading this and how awful everyone was to our lead female, not just our “bully”. She told absolutely no one as she had no one. Then her saving grace moves to town. I really liked how he was the middle ground for both parties and was able to bring some clarity to the three year long bullying.
I really felt for her and i felt things went too fast in forgiving but this is a book so i understand.

Ok from page one I was absolutely hooked on this story. You know the type of book that has you so captured you lose all track of time and the real world? That exactly how this story was for me. Once I started I simply couldn’t put it down. Kirsa right from the beginning had a piece of my heart and while there’s of course other characters and I liked them of course she’s the one who pulled me in so much. The storyline just spoke to me. High school is difficult for most but how heartbreaking is it when your best friends turn on you. I felt such a connection and I thank this author for such great characters. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking. Five big stars all the way and highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this book. Best friends that are cruelly torn apart. It is not the usual friends-to-enemies romance. A third-wheel to stir things up. Hormones…miscommunication…and a new guy. I was pulled in from the very beginning and couldn’t put the book down.

There are not enough words to say about this book. I absolutely loved it. There were so many emotions. I definitely shed some tears more than once.
I’m not going to say too much so I don’t give anything away but Kirsa and Brock were best friends until something gets in the way. Brock, as a way to deal with the apparent betrayal, sets out to make Kirsa miserable.
The characters were great. I’m glad Kirsa had Rylan after spending so long not having anyone. I’m glad Brock came to his senses but he was pretty awful for a long time. Kirsa is so strong. She shouldn’t have had to be but she is a force to be reckoned with. I devoured this book!!

Kirsa and Brock are best friends. When they are teenagers, those feelings of friendship could be something more than that. But, when Victoria enters the scene, lines become fuzzy and their path forward together isn’t as clear as it once was. Miscommunication leads to Brock turning his back on Kirsa and he makes her life miserable.
For years, Kirsa deals with the pain Brock puts her through. When Rylan starts school with them, Kirsa is hesitant to become his friend. But, Rylan wears her down and they become friends. Rylan is someone who will stand by (and up for) Kirsa. When their friendship becomes a point of jealousy for Brock, will Brock finally learn the truth of what really happened years ago? Even if he does, can Kirsa forgive him? Or is there too much damage to overcome?
I really enjoyed this book. It is not the usual friends-to-enemies romance. Oh no…there is so much more. Add in the third-wheel to stir things up…teenage hormones…miscommunication…and a new guy…and you have the recipe for a great story. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn’t put the book down until I finished it. I feel like there is some unresolved issues and storylines that I would love to see how some of their stories develop…so I am already looking forward to future books!
