SWITCHING GEARS
BY
Chantele Sedgwick
Still mourning the loss of Lucas Nelson, the boy she loved in secret for years, seventeen-year-old Emmy Martin turns to her passion for mountain biking to try to fill the empty void in her life. But just when things start looking up, Emmy discovers her mom has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Confused and angry that her parents didn’t tell her sooner, she throws herself into mountain biking like never before.
When Cole Evans, the rich boy who usually doesn’t care about anything but himself, offers to train her for the biggest mountain biking race of the season, she accepts, determined to beat her nemesis, Whitney, and prove she’s good enough for a sponsor. The more time she spends with Cole, the more she realizes he’s different than she’d expected, and, to her surprise, she’s falling for him. Torn between the deep feelings she still has for Lucas and her growing ones for Cole, she knows she must choose a path: one offers her the chance to love again, while the other is blocked by the overwhelming heartache for the boy she lost.
As she drifts further away from her family and closer to her dream of being sponsored, a terrible accident threatens any semblance of peace and happiness she has left. Instead of closing herself off to the people she loves, Emmy must learn to rely on those she has pushed away if she’s going to have any chance of getting her life back again.
MY THOUGHTS…
*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review*
This is a gripping,
reality which shows that you are in danger doing the simplest of things…
Emmy Martin
intrigued me. She has lost her best friend, the one boy who she can’t stand
likes her and her family is not as close as she thought it was. Even after all
of this happening, she still pushes herself every day to keep herself fit
enough to race her mountain bike. But she is always just that little bit behind
Whitney, whom she has never beaten before.
I liked Cole. He
seemed like a nice guy, and I think that the only reasons that Emmy didn’t like
him were that he had taken her captainship on the biking team at school and
that she was afraid that she might like him too.
I think that after
all Emmy goes through at the end of the book, she is very lucky to be alive,
let alone still able to ride her bike. I loved that through everything, Cole
and Emmy’s brother were both very supportive and that Emmy's mother finally
gets to see her race.
I Highly Recommend
this book to anyone.
