After the Game
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Two years ago, Riley Young fled from Lawton, Alabama. After accusing the oldest Lawton son, Rhett, of rape, everyone called her a liar and she had no option but to leave. Now she's back, but she's not at Lawton High finishing up her senior year. She's at home raising the little girl that no one believed was Rhett's.
Rhett is off at college living the life he was afraid he'd lose with Riley's accusation, so Riley agrees to move back to Lawton so she and her parents could take care of her grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. But the town still hasn't forgotten their hate for her, and she hasn't forgotten the way they turned on her when she needed them most.
When town golden boy Brady Higgens finds Riley and her daughter, Bryony, stranded on the side of the road in a storm, he pulls over and gives them a ride. Not because he cares about Riley, of course, but because of the kid.
But after the simple car ride, he begins to question everything he thought he knew. Could Brady believe Riley and risk losing everything?

- The third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Field Party series—a southern soap opera with football, cute boys, and pick-up trucks—from USA TODAY bestselling author Abbi Glines.
Two years ago, Riley Young fled from Lawton, Alabama. After accusing the oldest Lawton son, Rhett, of rape, everyone called her a liar and she had no option but to leave. Now she's back, but she's not at Lawton High finishing up her senior year. She's at home raising the little girl that no one believed was Rhett's.
Rhett is off at college living the life he was afraid he'd lose with Riley's accusation, so Riley agrees to move back to Lawton so she and her parents could take care of her grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. But the town still hasn't forgotten their hate for her, and she hasn't forgotten the way they turned on her when she needed them most.
When town golden boy Brady Higgens finds Riley and her daughter, Bryony, stranded on the side of the road in a storm, he pulls over and gives them a ride. Not because he cares about Riley, of course, but because of the kid.
But after the simple car ride, he begins to question everything he thought he knew. Could Brady believe Riley and risk losing everything? - seriesId

Welcome to Glines' (Under the Lights, 2016, etc.) seemingly mostly white Lawton, Alabama, where apron-clad moms bake all day, cute boys ride around in pickup trucks, and high school football is the lifeblood of the community.Two years ago, Rhett Lawton, the wealthy Lawton family's eldest son, raped Riley Young. When Riley reported the rape, the entire town turned on her, driving Riley and her parents out of Lawton. Now the Youngs have returned to Lawton to take care of Riley's ailing grandmamma. Riley (who wouldn't recommend teen motherhood "because it [isn't] a life choice") is ready to keep her head down and get through her time here, but all the suffering--the rape, the shaming, the shunning--was worth it, because now Riley is mother to a beautiful daughter, 15-month-old Bryony. "I'd live through it all again if I could have this," she says. Star quarterback Brady Higgens reviled Riley as much as everyone else at the time. Now a senior, Brady looks forward to college football. When chance brings Riley and Brady together, they tentatively become friends; as Brady begins to believe Riley's account of what happened, the relationship deepens. Chapters alternate between Riley's and Brady's first-person, present-tense accounts; neither's voice is particularly distinguished, and their romance develops along highly predictable lines. The novel's anti-abortion angle is likely to turn off a lot of readers; even a more conservative boy/girl-romance-loving crowd is likely to find it bland.

After Riley was raped by a wealthy football star, then shamed and shunned, the fifteen-year-old fled conservative Lawton, Alabama. Now Riley is back--with fifteen-month-old daughter Bryony--and she slowly develops a relationship with senior quarterback Brady, who initially doubted the rape. Told through Riley's and Brady's alternating first-person accounts, this third novel set in football-crazy Lawton reads like a predictable soap opera.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
