review 1: I am the kind of reader who actually goes against the grain and will actually want to read a book that has mixed reviews as opposed to all glowing. I tend to enjoy books that cause opposing views as long as they are well written and not too many grammatical errors so I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked this one up, but I was pleasantly hooked into the story within that first chapter. I did have a love and hate relationship with the central character as she made some bad choices about who follow, but she came good in the end. She was young and impressible and all teenagers make some error in judgment at some point. It's all part of the learning curve of growing to be a better person and I feel Sara Hantz developed Abi in a believable way to be a more thoughtful... more individual by the end of the book. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: I love the cover and loved the premise - and I don't just mean the kickboxer aspect. Angi's lack of confidence is due to a speech impediment, which I thought was a fantastic, rarely seen aspect to tackle. But I just couldn't get past the writing - it was completely predictable, the dialogue felt inauthentic, and the characters were so sadly one-dimensional and stereotypical. Abi's character is told to us, never shown, and you can guess every single plot point of her path between the blurb and first chapter. I think this book has tons of potential for better execution, but it read to me like a first draft. less
