Tutoring the Player | Rebecca Jenshak | Book Review

The Book Blurb

Firstly, I really love the cover of this book, and it perfectly suits the plot. Tutoring the Player is the cutest and sweetest college romance novel I've read in a long time. I expect complex feelings when I read teen romance, and this novel just gives me those wrong, confusing teen emotions, choices and small mistakes to redeem them. So wonderfully done.

Daisy Johnson is a shy and quiet girl who has a crush on Liam-exactly male version of herself. A nice guy, the type she adores the most. When her teacher tells her to do the lab project with Liam, that is the perfect opportunity for her, but there is also the third partner, Jordan Thatcher-Liam’s best buddy, bad boy, and hockey player. Jordan shows Daisy’s dreamily gaze at his best friend and advises Liam not to think of a relationship. Later, he encourages Daisy to ask Liam out on a date. When the precious moment arrives, a spark of confusion arises in him, and to set them apart, he asks Daisy to tutor him in a rush. They both question their judgment for one another. Jordan wants to come from it without hurting her, and Daisy is falling for him. Can the end be right when the start is wrong?

I love the instant attraction and the gradual process of one step at a time love that has a special place for me. I like how the plot has more college aspects and equal sports space. I adore the author's depiction of shy females because, honestly, I am surrounded by them-too shy yet too open in their own zone.

It is literally impossible to see Jordan as a bad boy. I expected the cocky bad guy attitude, but he is the polar opposite, and I like this version much more than I imagined; patient, calm, chill, and funny. Especially his behavior towards Daisy to push her a little, to let her initiate, to do what she wanted. It's so much hard not to fall for him.

Daisy is full of life and craves attention from someone special, but she is also scared of it as well. Daisy has a magnificent girl gang and is one-of-a-kind in one way. This book has many friends, strong, and excellent supporting characters that I am curious to read about in the next book. Rebecca Jenshak had an impression on me. I will certainly read the following books in the series.

Daisy and Jordan are totally opposite yet awfully similar, giving me a deep blast of romantic moments. This book has entire college vibes, parties, fun and makes you laugh, cry, and has the pain of grief, suffering from heartbreak, and the struggle of a second chance. There are few sporting events and a mix of hockey and bowling, but plenty of action off the ice.

• Read this book if you enjoy college romance novels with twists and turns.
• There are fewer parts of the sport, so don’t pick for sports romance only.
• This book is entirely different from the Off-Campus series and The Deal by Elley Kennedy. The tropes are the same, but not the story and characters.
• A perfect book for beginners.
• It is only suitable for adult readers.
