SOMETHIN’ ABOUT THAT BOY
By Lani Lynn Vale
Release Date: June 23
BOOK SUMMARY
Banner Spurlock
knew the moment that he walked into Kilgore High School and saw Perry Street
that life was about to get interesting.
Forced to move due to a problem at home, a problem in the form of his ex-best friend hating him for something that Banner’s father did, Banner doesn’t think very much could improve in his life.
He left his status as king of Benton High School behind and moved to a new school where not only would he have to try out for a new football team and prove himself, but he’d also have to find a place for himself in the hierarchy.
Only, the moment that he arrives, he knows that finding a place for himself won’t be too hard. Especially when his reputation follows him all the way to Kilgore, Texas.
***
Perry Street hates school. She hates her peers—most of them anyway—and she hates her classes. All she wants to do is finish her senior year, graduate, and find a place that will give her a full scholarship so that she doesn’t have to be stuck here forever.
That’s her goal, anyway.
Then she walks into first period, on her first day of her senior year, and sits down. Seconds later, he walks in and changes every single plan she’s ever made.
It isn’t long before Perry starts to fall for the bad boy who doesn’t care who he does and doesn’t impress. The boy makes her heart flutter. The boy makes her want things that she’s never wanted before. Not ever.
The boy brings trouble with him that nearly kills her.

CAT'S REVIEW
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BOY by Lani Lynn Vale. This was an enjoyable and entertaining read. It tells the tale of Banner Spurlock and Perry Street. This is a YA story that takes place in high school. Now, this is not my usual forte as I am well beyond high school, but this author, I felt, did it justice and certainly grabbed my interest and held it. I truly cared for Banner and Perry - they both showed maturity, yet, there youthful ways and feelings surfaced too. There is a little drama in this tale, circling around Banner's previous school and the reason he left, in the form a of a young man - Vance. Vance follows him to the new school and tries, once again, to create havoc for Banner, and by association, Perry. Now, I like when there is a bit of drama but I did feel a bit let down at the ease at which this drama was settled. And that nothing came of some events involving Vance did bother me a bit. But, this did not deter from the heart of this story - Banner and Perry. I believed in them - their love and their faith in each other. Ms. Vale even brought tears to my eyes once or twice, and that for me makes this a winner. While this is a standalone (although characters from previous books do make appearances), I hope that Ms. Vale has plans for the other characters in this book too. (received ARC for honest review)
