Author: Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Length: Audio book: 5 discs, 6 hours
Rating: 4.5/5
After Dairy Queen, D.J.’s
life is looking up. She’s successfully the only girl linebacker on her team and
she’s almost got a thing going with Brian Nelson. Things go horribly wrong when
her oldest brother Win is injured playing college football and D.J.’s life
starts to fall apart. As autumn progresses, DJ must figure out football,
boyfriends, best friends, and most of all, family.
You all know I usually hate audio books. But actor Natalie Moore
brought the already beloved D.J. to life for me. I felt that D.J. was sitting
in the car next to me on my roadtrip, talking about her life and trying to
figure it out. I laughed out loud, I cried, and I wanted more of D.J. in my
life!
All of the characters grow in this book, especially D.J., who
learns that being in People magazine
is not the worst thing that can happen to you. As the reader, you can’t help
but continue to root for D.J. and the rest of her family and friends as they go
through difficult times.
A wonderful sequel to a wonderful book!
