This one had all the charm of the first book and more. The family takes center stage in this one, when one of DJs brothers is hurt playing football. The way the family was there for each other really touched my heart. I will definitely be reading the third book, because I need some closure on this DJ/Brian arc.

The book I read was The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock. This book was about this girl name D.J. Schwenk who originally was on the volleyball team, but then decided to play football. She thought she will just sit on the bench. Once the season started she realized she would be a starting player and a very important aspect to the team. She has this huge crush on Brian Nelson who was also on the football team. And whenever he needs to describe some horrifically disgusting injury, he has
The Off Season is a solid follow up to Dairy Queen. We follow D.J. Schwenk into her junior year of high school as she continues to balance school, family demands and of course Brian Nelson. In Dairy Queen D.J. spent a lot of time figuring out who she is and who she wants to be. In this second installment D.J. applies the knowledge she learned over the summer. The Off Season resolves a lot of issues left up in the air at the end of Dairy Queen and shows even more what a motivated, hardworking,
Fresh, fun, and D.J. learns some tough life lessons...I am so enthralled with this series. The voice, the characters, I can't get enough of it. Everyone needs to give this series a try...it would really surprise you. ♥ That's the thing: when I say that I was skimming along, it didn't have anything to do with the milk house or doing so well in school, or even winning all those football games and feeling like I was really part of the team. It really meant just being crazy in love with Brian
Rating: 4.5 Stars I swear, this series just keeps getting better and better. The Off Season is an incredible follow-up to Dairy Queen and if I wasn't impressed by Murdock's first novel, she's definitely made a fan out of me now. I loved this one! It was realistic, strong, and moved me beyond words. It was a much more gut-wrenching read this time around and I felt like giving D.J. a hug on so many counts. If Dairy Queen is the steady climb to a better life, of realizing the flaws in life
