Publisher's Summary

Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other Schools. At Hamilton High, it’s a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight or haze a freshman. And on three separate occasions Randy’s car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend’s attention.

Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players’ girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys won’t get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don’t count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. And Lissa never sees her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling, coming. In this hilarious and romantic reimagining of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, the battle of boys against girls is on.

Good But Incredibly Frustrating

It's interesting to me how the author can voice the thoughts and insecurities we all have, and explain them in a way that most cannot. The book was enjoyable and the characters were very well written. However, I found this book incredibly annoying and by the end of it I couldn't feel happy for the main character, and truly believed her love interest deserved better. I think the author intends for the readers to be frustrated when she's writing her books. I had the same frustration with The DUFF, where the main character is in complete denial and lies to herself throughout the whole book. More than once I would get annoyed and swear at something the main character had done, and the entire time I kept saying "No, that's not what he said. Why don't you just ask him?". Then it got worse when the main character's vendetta began hurting other people involved, and refused to even conceive the notion that she was wrong. I enjoyed the book, I like the ideas the author challenged and the questions she posed, and the side characters were excellent and I really related to them. I can't say the same for the main character, and by the final chapters I despised her and wished she had been written with more depth and intellect like many of the side characters in this book.
