Stupid Girl
By: Cindy Miles
What It's About!
Only fools fall in love...
After her senior year of high school leaves behind nothing but heartache, Olivia Beaumont is sure of this: She’s no stupid girl. She sets out for Winston College, promising herself that she will remain focused on her first and only love – astronomy. But all it takes is cocky sophomore Brax Jenkins and an accidental collision with a football, to throw her entire year off course.
A quick-tempered Southie who escaped the inner city streets of Boston to pitch for Winston, Brax is known to play way more fields than just the baseball diamond. So, when his name is drawn to take part in his fraternity’s hazing dare, Brax eagerly accepts the mission to take Olivia’s virginity. But he doesn’t plan on falling hard for the sweet and sassy Texas girl who sees right through his bad-boy persona.
As Olivia and Brax battle their feelings for each other, echoes of the past year begin to surface. A boy who once turned Olivia’s whole world upside down reappears, and “harmless” pranks wreak havoc. Pretty soon the aspiring astronomer is on the verge of revealing her most difficult, heartbreaking secret. All the while, Brax must wrestle with the irrevocable dare, and Olivia struggles against all logic as she does the one thing only a stupid girl would do: fall in love.

My Thoughts!
I received this book through Net Galley in turn for an honest review.
I stayed hooked on this book pretty from the beginning. I enjoyed how easy it was to stay focused and connected with the characters. I liked Olivia, because she was different. She was sure of who she was as a person. She didn't judge people by their outward appearance and didn't make quick judgments at face value. Brax had some issues with being possessive and a bit overbearing, but I think Olivia needed a little protecting after her past boyfriend. She worked for everything she had and always put her family first. I respect that in a heroine. Now this book would have had a higher rating if I had some memorable quotes to take with me. Also the whole Boston accent explanation at the end of Brax's speaking was very annoying. We get it. He's from Boston. He has a major accent. I'm pretty sure everyone can hear it as we read and imagine. We don't need it spelled out every.single.time. So good book. Light read. I'm open to reading more from Cindy Miles in the future.
