Synopsis

Life after high school still blows

Between a judgmental beauty advice columnist mom who sends clothes several sizes too small, and social media sex-shaming her senior year of high school, Faith Lacerna needs a self-confidence boost. Being a freshman at Fortis University in Silicon Valley will be fine, as long as she doesn't attract attention. Except wearing oversized hoodies in sunny California isn't the best choice for blending in.

When football jock Caleb St. John shows interest, she recommits to studying anything but the hot tight end. Caleb wants to lose himself in football, avoid his unfaithful ex-girlfriend, and—unlike his cheating dad—live his life with integrity. He knows there's more to Faith than baggy clothes. Her humor and audacity spark more than Caleb's competitive nature.

Faith doesn't want to be interested, but Caleb's kindness and sense of adventure has her hooked. She soon realizes she needs to confront her hurts and fears if she wants to embrace a relationship with Caleb and not let the past intercept her future.

Contains mature themes.

Voluptuous high school senior Faith Lucerna is publicly humiliated when a football player she thought really liked her posts an intimate picture of her with the caption “Fellatio Faith.” Taken in combination with her body image issues, which have been fostered by her mother, a size zero advice colum......more

Goodreads review by Sally on March 15, 2020

This is my first time reading this author, and from what I understand, this is her debut. Mouthful gave me all the feels and had me in tears more than once. I’m an emotional junkie so I absolutely loved it! I think Faith is a character most women can relate to. I know I did. She has issues with how......more

Goodreads review by Samantha (WLABB) on January 23, 2021

This one had some great moments. I liked the hero and the romance a lot (other than when the "conflict" came in). There were some great friendships in this book too, but I did feel like there was some dead-horse beating with the body image parts. BLOG |INSTAGRAM |TWITTER |BLOGLOVIN | FRIEND ME ON......more
