Losing the Field was an intense, emotional look into how high school really is nowadays. The bullying, the rumors, just trying to get through to the other side of high school. Hands down Losing the Field is amazing. Abbi did such an incredible job in portraying these characters.Tallulah, what a sweet character, she went through so much. I can’t believe that people she grew up with and went to school with didn’t even know who she was after she lost the weight. I was very proud of how she held herself as well. She was a strong and brave heroine. Then with all the teacher drama (which I had a weird feeling from the jump when introduced to this character), you really could see that she had no one. Not one person in that school cared about her at that point and it devastated me. I wanted to reach through the book and tell her that I was here for her!
Nash Lee and all his issues just made me want to smack him upside the head at the beginning. He really was being a jerk to everyone. I mean I can understand an injury can cause you to lose all your hopes and dreams but there came a point where he had to move on. Tallulah was the one who really helped bring him out of that funk. He was sweet and loving to Tallulah and you could tell that they were falling for each other. But then he had to go and be a jerk and not hear from Tallulah’s own mouth what was going on. Then another tragedy struck and I felt so bad for him. Gosh that scene absolutely tore me apart. This by far my friends is one of my favorite books by Abbi. It had all the feels! I don’t even care that is a YA novel and I’m 33 years old. I absolutely loved it.

I have been following Abbi Glines since she released her 2nd book and this series is many in a handful of wonderful series she has created. Losing the Field was not what I expected and totally nothing I thought Abbi would write.

I am conflicted a bit with this book honestly the subject matter is not the best and honestly if I had a teenager reading this book I wouldn't be to happy with her reading it at all. I am not going to go into detail s because then I would ruin the story for others, but honestly how Abbi went into a dark place with this book was just not ok with me.
The story of Tellulah and Nash was that of a girl who is invisible most her life and no one is ever nice to her because she is overweight except Nash who always seems to be good to her and then junior year Nash does one thing and I mean one little thing that drives her to work out and loose weight over the summer and bam when she is back at school she is what all the guys are looking at and who all the girls hate. it drove me nuts that Abbi went this route especially in her own weight loss journey she shouldn't have made Tellulah lose weight over something a guy said it just seems horrible from all angles.
As for Nash over the summer some bad stuff happened and his football dreams is pretty much over and thru most the book he is just bitter jerk.
When the two start talking it is cute but for most the book I wanted to tell Tellulah to run and never look back because she deserved better then Nash. What bothered me most is the end seemed abrupt and didn't feel like the ending it deserved.
