Collect My High School Rebel Boyfriend (Boyfriend: River Valley High #3) By Kylie Key Issued As Textbook

the thing I liked best about this story, is that it was so realistic, Things dont always turn out perfect, Real life has its ups and downs, People have problems and they dont always have happily ever afters, This story doesnt end on a cliffhanger, but it does make you think, And it has an element of hope for the future, I thought it was original and wellrounded, It reminded me of some of Anna Catherine Fields work and I highly recommend it, Excellent. Good read

Wow that story had a really hardcore story line, I cant believe that nobody knew, Im glad he had a few people in his life to be there for him, Harper Mitchell Real life problems

It took a while for Harper and Mitchell to connect with each other, But it was realistic. I liked that they were dealing with real life problems and that they worked them out in their own ways, It was great that they each had good supportive friends, The story moves along smoothly and the author has shown the depth of the characters, who are well rounded and relatable, Good book, but could easily be twice as long

I'm not entirely sure what all I think, I like the book, but I feel like Mitchell's story is a little underdeveloped, There could have been so much more, What there is, I like and Harper is better fleshed out, but I feel like Mitchell just needed more time to properly tell his story, to really understand him.
Good read

Spoilers, thrown out throughout this review, . .

I was curious about this book about how it was going to be, It was good. Was it different yes I felt like Mitch and Harper were made for each other because they both were dealing with something that was in their life.
Harper with her diabetes and Mitch with his stepfather abuse and his mother's arthritis,

The only problem with this book I had was the repeat of Harper's diabetes and what she had to do to keep herself good.
I was like that was too much not about diabetes but the repeats of it, Im not wording it right, but I felt I understood her situation and felt like the food intake, etc didnt need a repeat in every chapter.


What I did felt bad about what Mitch and his friends did with her foods, They didnt save any for her, I felt like you dont go in someone's bag, When you dont know if theres a reason why that person may have things in their bag, Dude to their health. I was waiting on Mitch to get a clue on how he been treating her, After her diabetes scare. . , he got himself together and realize that he shouldnt be mean to her,

I felt like he always carried out an attitude towards people, because of what went on at home, I was glad that he had Harper in his life, Because I felt like MAYBE his stepdad would get a clue I just wish that Harper couldve told her parents at least about Mitch and his abuse.
. .

But she wanted to keep his secret and see if his stepfather Wade would change, Also, I think with the training, his mom probably would move around more, Harper to me brought LIGHT into Mitch family because no one seems happy until Harper popped up, 'My High School Rebel Boyfriend' by Kylie Key follows main characters Harper and Mitchell as they have to find a way to work together.
While Harper is on the volleyball team, Mitchell is a basketball player, Besides sports, they don't seem to have much in common, and Mitchell doesn't try to be friendly when Harper's around, Harper's diabetes adds to the issues between them, since Mitchell doesn't know about it and she has no reason to want to explain it to him due to his unkind nature toward her.


Yet, she's also bombarded by too much caring about her diabetes, as her mother is fiercely protective of her, worried that she may be pushing herself too hard.
When Harper unknowingly sets up her fate of bringing Mitchell and his friend on as student trainers for her volleyball team, she starts to have her work cut out for her.
Mitchell

pushes her hard, and when she responds well to his direction, she surprises not only herself, but him, He realizes that there may be more to Harper than meets the eye, and at the same time, Harper finds herself having trouble getting Mitchell out of her thoughts.


Besides learning about Harper's home life, including her diabetes and her mother's protective nature, we learn that Mitchell's home life is not all sunshine and roses.
He is dealing with troubles that no adult, let alone child, should have to conquer, especially when one is so young, His mother is sick and his stepfather takes out his frustration on Mitchell, Readers learn that even though someone might seem strong on the outside, what's inside matters, too, Mitchell is just a little boy inside, trying to protect his mother and save her from any more struggle or worry,

Kylie Key has done a nice job setting the stage for two characters who are determined to make their mark, but have troubles keeping them from shining as much as they'd like.
The story is one of determination, strength, and learning to cope with troubles one may never have seen coming,

Beth Rodgers, Author of 'Welcome to ChanuCon!,' a Children's Picture Book, and Freshman Fourteen' and 'Sweet Fifteen,' Young Adult Novels Rating:

I loved this story.
The whole thing came together perfectly, Every chapter was like a puzzle piece giving us the whole image at the end, I loved the way the portrayal of how the characters were creeping around their feelings, too afraid to come close, There was a lot of information on diabetes which added to the story, Ill be able to tell my parents that I learned from a romance novel, It was the perfect balance of everything, While I wished Mitchell would tell his mother about the abusing, I understood his reasons behind it, This shows that I was involved with the characters more than expected,

Being the silly person I can be, I read this book before the previous book but was enamoured by the story that I didnt put down this one and read the previous book first.


This story follows Mitchell and Harper, Harper has diabetes. It can lead to several issues, Only her closet group of friends and the school officials know outside of her family, She doesnt want looks of pitying or having someone else treat her like she isnt able to do something, While she knows that everyone acts out of the goodness of her heart, shes a bit overwhelmed by always being asked if she was okay or if she needs a break.
Mitchell has his own set of problems at home, He keeps the bad boy persona at school with only his best friend knowing the truth,

Theyve known each other for a while but never travelled in the same circles, Mitch and his best friend mess up the storage room right after two of the girls on the volleyball team play, Harper learns this after hearing that the two girls have been suspended from playing at the tournament, She tells her coach that this happened, Mitch and his friend are forced, as punishment, to help the volleyball team out, Mitch promises Harper payback. Why does Harper feel excitement rather than fear

I wrote this voluntary review in exchange for a review copy,
Overall this book was well written, but Im not comfortable with the ending, There is a character dealing with an abusive stepfather in here and he never actually gets help, Harper trys to help by being nice to his stepfather and showing him phone a good human being behaves, but Im not fully comfortable with that.


If your friend is in an abusive situation you need to get them help, I said what I said, Ive seen something like this okay out in real life and that stepfather needed to be confronted,

The author did include a disclaimer, telling people that abusive situations and health maters like diabetics should not be taken lightly, but I still would have liked to see the situation in her book resolved better than it was.
Harper has typediabetes, which she , mostly, manages fine, Mitchell is a basketball player, also with huge hidden problems, As he doesn't know about Harper's illness he pushes her, she accepts it and realizes that she could be doing more,
A good thought provoking read,
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review, I easily read this in one day! I am never disappointed by these High School Boyfriend stories and this one hit close to home more than I thought it would.

Harper has Typediabetes or hypoglycemia and is a volleyball player, She doesnt think she will be able to compete at college level volleyball and isnt managing the diabetes as well as she should be.
Mitchell pushes her to do more without realizing Harpers condition,
I loved that she pushed herself and wanted to do better without hurting herself, I loved the chemistry between these two and the bickering, Mitchell has secrets of his own that he wants to keep from everyone but Harper manages to find out, These two helped each other when they needed people the most,
I wish they could have talked to each other sooner instead of thinking the other hates them, I wanted more with these two like a first date or more romantic settings but the epilogue was pretty great, Thankfully we seen some good character development!
Im excited to read the rest in this series! Harpers diabetics is getting in her way to achieve and scholarship to play volleyball in college.
She needs to face her illness and learn to live her life and achieve her goals, Mitchell is playing basketball hard as a way out of his houses problems, CAn HArper and Mitchell help each other even when they seem to dislike each other A great story about facing your fears, doing your best with your circumstances and finding love in the process.

A cute story,

The story:
My High School Rebel Boyfriend a high school senior, Harper, who is struggling living with type one diabetes.
Shes had to give up so much in her life and now just wants a chance at a volleyball scholarship,
Enter Mitchell. Along with another boy, he receives a punishment to help the volleyball team train for an upcoming tournament, Harper and Mitchell dont get along for most of the book, each misunderstanding each other in many ways, But as secrets come out, they slowly realize neither of them is the person they thought they were,

What I loved:
That the book was heavily focused on illness and disability, As someone who lives with both, it was refreshing to see it done in a realistic way, I know from experience the worry and anxiety and embarrassment Harper faced every day and this author managed a perfect representation of what thats like.

Harper and Mitchell were cute together and you cant help rooting for them to go all the way, Their connection is palpable. The writing flows easily, making this a quick read,

What left me wanting more:
There are some pretty offensive judgements made about type two diabetes in this book that were completely uncalled for.
Its categorized as a disease only overweight people get for eating too much junk food, completely discounting all other factors and causes, It was a comment that stayed with me through the entire book,
I think some of the nuances of child abuse were also missed, especially in the end when its seemingly getting better because of Harpers involvement.

Id have loved a more complete ending where we find out if Harper reaches the goal shes been striving for the entire book.


Final verdict: A wellwritten story that excels in entertainment factor with real, easytorootfor characters who face relatable problems in realistic ways.
This story hit home to me as a mom of a diabetic, So it was with some horror I read the scenes where they messed with her in such a misbegotten way, I did like the premise and the play out of the story, Each had their problems and goals, The attraction between them was believable, I enjoyed this high school romance, I liked getting to know more about typediabetes and the struggles it entails, I liked the lesson woven in this book about limits, I really enjoyed our two mains and their connection and how it developed, This is my first book by this author but definitely wont be my last!
