Kyle Saint-Claire is everything Jonny Fehey wishes to be: a star on the soccer field, a straight-A student, and king of Millburn High’s social ladder. Jonny unhappily accepts his position on a lesser rung, until fate steps in and Jonny scores the go-ahead goal in the county soccer championships…and it looks like he will finally make it into the popular crowd. But at the victory party, a classmate is raped and Jonny’s world begins to unravel. Through years of friendship, Kyle and Jonny have always stood up for one another, but suddenly all of the training, pain, and dedication have become meaningless as their friendship is tested to the breaking point. Exciting sports action and a misguided sense of justice combine in a suspenseful tale of popularity and entitlement—and an ending that Jonny never saw coming.

"I liked this book. It was an assigment in class and this was the book I got. Although it had alot of scenes... It still shows what is going on in the world at teenage years. "

" I have this on my iPod and it's not easy for me to find time without the kids around to listen to this. The story is fine, but it is not enough to make me work to finish. "

— Laura, 9/1/2013" Enjoyed this. Good male protagonist. Liked the growth of characters. The ending was creepy; but not too predictable. An easy and enjoyable read. "
— Nance, 4/2/2012" The synopsis makes this book sound like it would be a great young adult book about how two friends are trying to get along, and are having trouble. I expected some of the stuff that was in it, but the ending was just sick. Who even writes a book like this? I do not recommend it. "
