Relation Toward Books Shut Out (Hamilton High #2)
Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it's a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight with the soccer team or to prank their locker room. And on three separate occasions Randy's car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend's attention.Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys won't get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don't count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. And Lissa never sees her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling, coming.

3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 StarzThis is a surprising thing, an update of the Greek play, THE LYSISTRATA, set in a modern American high school. In the play, the women of Athens withhold sexual favors from their husbands so that they will end the war with Sparta, so this seems like a strange story to update. But at Hamilton High School, the big rivalry is between the football and soccer teams, and the girlfriends are sick of it! They've been stood up because their boyfriends are busy egging people's doors, they've been
On one hand, Miss Keplingers youthful style and her exploration of sexuality is exactly what YA contemporary readers need to see. On the other hand, her books arent what would typically be considered well-written; while her stories provide valuable messages, they arent what would conventionally be considered smartly crafted. Personally I believed Shut Out to be a better read than The DUFF, Keplingers debut, but still its not a novel without its fault.The students at Hamilton High are caught at
Shut Out is a 5 star book for me because of the sex. The topic and discussion of sexget your mind out of the gutter people! :)I applaud Kody Keplinger for having the confidence to address the topic of sex in young adult fiction. Shockingly, it is still a taboo subject for the genre and Keplinger does it with maturity, intelligence and humor.In this battle of the sexes tale, the girls of Hamilton High led by Lissa Daniels go on a sex strike to end a rivalry between the soccer and football teams.
4.5 stars Be warned you may find this review full of over enthusiastic gushing for this book. Shut Out was just an awesome read. Shut Out is loosely based on the retelling of Aristophanes Lysistrata; Lissa is sick and tired of the rivalry between the soccer and football team, its been running ever since her brother Logan went to high school, which was 10 years ago. But now its seriously getting out of hand, its coming in between her relationship with Randy, with Randy focusing more on the
Im going through a phase and I only want to read and re-read high school romances. This was absolutely what I needed right now before starting another long fantasy series. Hamilton High we meet again! This time as well as the first time around Kody Keplinger nails it! Everything about this book is amazing, the plot, characters, subplot, character development. I love that smartass humor and the witty comebacks. I love Lissas characters, she is a control freak and she owns up to it, what I love
I know why some people might not like this book, I understand the problems they might have with the situations, the characters and so on, but i'm as sure as hell that i did like it, probably as much as I liked The DUFF.Full review: (originally posted at ReadingAfterMidnight)You know, this is a strange world we are living in.I always read some reviews here and there (about some books - not only this one) and I see people saying that [this] or [that] are not some books that they would allow
