Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy ScoreMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love Lucy Score’s writing and I was so excited to get into this read. I fell in love with the characters and it was a true romantic comedy - I swooned and laughed my way through this book.
Marley was such a likeable character and a lot of us older readers are able to connect with her. She was bullied a bit through high school, and even twenty years later seemed lost, but coming home seemed to have grounded her. She had some self esteem issues, but genuinely didn’t care what people thought. She was making her own path through life. I liked that Marley was able to address issues from her past and did not back down. She was amazing for her team and they also made an impact on her.
Jake though… I loved him! He was just what she needed. He was the elusive bad boy from her past, but he was such a kind soul. He had cemented himself into the town and was well liked by all.
Honestly, this book was addictive and I enjoyed how I was drawn into the world. I was hooked by all the characters I met, especially one of the secondary characters, Libby. She certainly gave as much to Marley that she gave to her. Their banter cracked me up. The chemistry between Marley and Jake was sizzling, and it was amusing to see them both fall for one another.

“You may be faking the relationship, but you’re not faking the orgasms.”
Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn’t wait to escape twenty years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.
Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?
Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal’s office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi—for a price. The Deal: He’ll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.
Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it’s all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There’s too much history. Rock bottom can’t turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?
Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.
