3.5⭐️’s.
The Tenth Girl is about a lot of things and everything teen related. It is set around a couple in their senior year of high school. One is the beloved quarterback jock, the other has transferred from another school and likes to write. The thing that bonds them together is the love of books. The situation that is their undoing is competition, and it's not between each other.
Cain Kent is one that you will hate/love, and in that order. He starts out as the obnoxious boob that thinks he is God and nothing will stand in his path. Along the way, he learns to trust and open up, and becomes a man. One that is sweet and kind and selfless. Harper Posy has learnt to grow up quickly from losing a parent and it is her mum and herself alone in the world. They move back to her mother's home town to live with her grandmother and Harper gleans some new friends. Never did she expect to connect with her English classmate, especially after their first encounter.
If you like your teen high school drama books, you will revel in this one. And on the norm, I do enjoy them too. This time it was a little too high on the teen angst for me, and it had a sense of immaturity about it. The story line in itself was fine and had a very familiar feel. I would have like to have seen something new or more gripping in the plot.

I have read other books by Carrie before, and when this came up, I was like yes please!! I had to read it.
Now I loved this book, I really did, but I think Cain kind of turned me off from it. I didn't like him at all at the beginning and all I wanted to do was reach through the book and throat punch him so hard for acting like he did.
But, in saying that, the writing style of Carrie is so great. I did however, find myself reading the book, but not really taking in any of the words of the book, as I felt it was just a bit of filling in the middle, but I don't want to take away from Carrie and her writing. I want to be honest, and found that some of it was a little bit of waffling to fill the middle bit, maybe it's just me.
I really loved Harper though. Her strong will, being headstrong, clearly thinking about things before she acts, and her love of books!
I did really like the flow of the book, and how the characters developed and things that happened in the book (don't wanna spoil it for those that haven't read it).
Harper moves to her mom's hometown in Haven Texas, and has to start over a new high school that is a lot smaller than where she grew up. She meets Cain......
Cain is in a competition with his football buddies, and needs to bag just one more girl to win and win the Atrium for the summer. In walks Harper.
Cain and Harper go back and forth throughout the whole book, and I think it's great, the banter that they have with one another.
Harpers mom starts dating again, and it ends up being with a dad of one of the girls at school, who ends up being her rival.
OMG! I love the grandmother so much!! She cracks me up so much!! She's stern but will stick up for her family no matter what.
Cain gets hurt, and Harper has to keep it a secret, and also doesn't know the extent of how bad it is. Until her rival from school tells her.
Cain is a closet nerd, but keeps it hidden from his football buddies, as he doesn't want to get made fun of. But Harper sees the hidden side to him.
Does Harper find out about the competition with Cain and his friends? Can she publish her book, and get what she wants from it all? Does Cain make it to College Football, and ultimately his dream, NFL?

All the heart eyes for this one. Such a great read. Books like this are why I love YA romance. The tummy butterflies, the stupid decisions, the heartbreak, the friendships - soooo good!
Cain is the quintessential jock, the star QB, Mr Popular who can get any girl with the click of his fingers. Harper is the quiet, studious girl who has no idea just how gorgeous she is. A bet turns into more, until it means everything!
I loved the dual POV, the dialogue was witty and realistic, the pace was great and I was really sad when the story ended. Definitely recommend.

I loved this book so much, it captivated me from front to back. The way you’ve portrayed the characters and captured the high school and college experiences is great, and I mean everyone loves a good romance novel right? Good work :-)

I loved the way she portrayed each character and really described each and every emotion in such great detail so you could almost feel it yourself.

When Harper Posy and her mother return to her mother's home town, she doesn't expect to meet the town's golden boy, Cain Kent. Cain sees Harper as the tenth girl to have sex with in the competition he's got going with his football friends. Harper sees him as the stupid jock who skates by in life in his looks! What neither expects is for feelings to evolve and for the competition to be disbelief for something more! This was another good read from Carrie with characters that had hidden depths and a storyline that makes each word come alive just like the characters!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2018Verified Purchase
An easy but predictable read. It’s very short which makes the characters quite two dimensional, and doesn’t allow for much plot intrigue, but it also means it’s quick to read so you don’t feel like you’ve wasted your time by reading it. Could have done with a few more proof reads as there are quite a few typos in there, which I found a bit ironic considering Harper’s promise at one point to diligently proof/edit her own book before publishing. Overall, not bad but don’t rush to read.

I stayed up till midnight to finish this last night and I don’t regret it. Cain and Harper are so sweet together and I really enjoyed reading their story. Oh and his southern twang got me every time. This Brit girl melts for that accent every time!

Good enough read, not hugely thrilling. Doesn't make you want to read another book by this author that's for sure.
