I want to start by saying I am not a football person. I’m just a typical 30-something wife who works in corporate America and doesn’t even watch sports. Despite all of that, I could not stop reading this book!! I decided to read this book because I really enjoyed the first one and Eugene Holloman has such a gift. His descriptions make you feel like you’re right there with Tootie watching it all play out. I am pretty sure I felt every emotion while reading this... I laughed, I cried, I was surprised. I can’t say enough good things about this book. No matter your age or where you come from, you will enjoy this book, I promise! I can’t wait for Junior Year to come out!!
