BookChick Recommends “The Ex Games” by Jennifer Echols
If you’re looking for a quick, escapist, romantic comedy it’s hard to beat “The Ex Games” by Jennifer Echols. It’s the story of hot-headed superstar snowboarder Hayden and her hard-to-resist ex-boyfriend Nick, also a hotshot on the slopes. They’re 17, they’re impetuous and they dare each other to prove their prowess in a battle of the sexes on the slopes. The only catch is Hayden is deathly afraid of jumps because she broke her leg four years ago.
Echols captures the Colorado snow town setting perfectly, but even better than her description of falling white stuff are her depictions of the on-again, off-again Nick and Hayden over winter break. These two teens will make you crazy with the way they make up and break up but the kisses are so good, you’ll keep turning the pages until the very end.
A delightful read!
