Aubrey Welch’s Reviews > The Striker > Status Update

The ending was very expected. They had a small breakup because Asher raced a former teammate after he promised Scarlett he would stop. She found out because he was in the hospital. Then his coach benched him until further notice. After a few weeks and some pep talks, he got his head in the game and got Scarlett and his team back. Scarlett performed at her staff showcase for the first time since her tragic accident.

All they’ve done since my last update is go on dates and talk about how they’re gonna break the news of their relationship to Vincent. They spend their last days alone together in Japan while Asher is on a PR trip, and cherish the last moments they have before everything changes.

Scarlett and Asher are starting to get closer, when Asher’s father suddenly has a heart attack and they end up having to go to the hospital. There, Asher’s mom questions Scarlett and Asher’s relationship and his dad is skeptical about Asher’s intentions. This is pretty much all that’s been happening, the book is kinda dragging on so I’m hoping the plot will pick up soon.

Okay I changed my mind I love this book. It was slow at first but now the plot is starting to thicken. Scarlett and Asher finally kissed but they were pretending like it never happened, so tension is high. They then go on double dates to make the other jealous but it turns out that their dates were actually exes so it was awkward.

I don’t really know how I feel about this book yet. The plot feels like it’s going fast but dragging on at the same time. It’s hard to stay interested for long periods of time. The story is about a famous football (soccer) player, Asher Donovan, and his trainer, a former prima ballerina, Scarlett Dubois. Unfortunately, his biggest enemy is her brother. They are “forbidden” by her brother to be together.

Last week I was out of this class for my FBLA project and then on friday i was at my FCCLA star event so i didn’t get much reading in. My next review will be my goodreads for this week.
