Explanation Supposing Books Shut Out (Hamilton High #2)
Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it's a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight with the soccer team or to prank their locker room. And on three separate occasions Randy's car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend's attention. Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys won't get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don't count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. And Lissa never sees her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling, coming.Details Books Conducive To Shut Out (Hamilton High #2)

Weak writing, two dimensional characters. Overused names. I see where the author wanted to go with this but they ultimately failed.First, the good: frank talk about teenage girls' sexual lives, exploration of double standards, inspiration from a classic (I'm a sucker for modern re-tellings).The bad? It took me a long while to feel as if I could relate to the protagonist at all. It seemed like her only personality trait for a good portion of the book was having a boyfriend. Finally, we find out she's also a control freak who works in a library (just like me! ha!) But seriously, the fact that every single girl in this book
Shut Out is loosely based on the retelling of Aristophanes Lysistrata;Lissa is sick and tired of the rivalry between the soccer and football team, its been running almost like forever. But now its seriously getting out of hand, its coming in between her relationship with Randy, her boyfriend.So Lissa comes up with a plan to get all the soccer and football players girlfriends together and go on a "strike".A SEX STRIKE!!! Its bound to get the boys so wound up that they will put an end to their
1-1.5 starsThis is the first review I've written for a 1 star book and I debated whether to write it at all, but here it goes...To me, the experience of this book can be divided into three stages... Stage One: The Warning Alarm When the book starts, we get to see Lissa and her boyfriend. We learn there's a war going on between the soccer and the football team of the same school. That was the first thing that bugged me. Those boys acted so immaturely, pulling pranks, acting like this WAR is a
What seemed like a silly premise turned out to be something relevant but still very entertaining at the same time. I was kind of impressed really. The main plot, girls agreeing on a sex-strike against boys to end the rivalry between football and soccer players is pretty funny especially when the boys were trying to fight back, seducing the girls by taking off their shirts. Lol. But as the story pushes through, it becomes not only about just the war. I didnt think so much into Shut Out but as I
I totally loved this book. I actually didn't think I'd like it that much.... but loved it. It's a unique story, haven't read one like it. This is the second book from this author that I've read.... I think she will be put in my favourite author shelf
You know there's something wrong with a book when the boys are falling all over themselves for the main character and you're wondering why.I guess Lissa was okay at first. For the first half, maybe. But then she turned into this huge caricature who just lost all intelligence and became obsessed with winning the "war" and finding every pretext to feel sorry for herself. I am aware not all teenagers are sensible, responsible beings. I do, however, like to actually feel something other than
