Today Jace and some friends went and played some soccer.  Some of Jace's buddies came and played with them.  After while Jace and this girl go get in a car and start doing sexual stuff.  The female was trying to get Jace to have sex but he was thinking about his ex and the girl was trying to prove something to her ex Eric.  The decided to just hang out.  Well Jace came home to some emails from his mother.  Jace's brother Christian kind of throws a temper tantrum about it.  Christian says, "It's your life. Waste it how you want."  Christian left a while ago because his mother wouldnt leave her dead beat husband and he feels she is a lost cause and that trying with her is a waste of time.  Jace still trys to communicate with her but it really wont do anything for their relationship.  I overall love this book and can relate to the main character Jace.

I have been reading this book for a couple of weeks now.  So far in this book Jace, the main character, has been kicked out of his parents house.  Jace was beaten by his father for the past few years.  He moves into his brothers home.  Jace goes to the school in his brothers district. Jace is really into soccer and plays soccer to blow off steam.  The genre is adolesence fiction.  The author does a very good job keeping me interested.  There is always something intresting happening in the book. So far I love the book!


 This is the cover of the book.

 Jace really enjoys soccer so I put a soccer ball to represent that.
