All the pain, the heartache, the love!Īugust is a gorgeous star basketball player. I bawled.I felt angry, sad, happy and hot. I had to put my kindle down a couple of times because of the powerful emotions this book was making me feel. It’s raw, it’s confronting, it takes your emotions on a roller coaster and it’s also sexy and beautiful. There is a rawness to this story, there is no sugarcoating. Kennedy has knocked this out of the park, knocked it out of this world. Nothing I say in this review will even come close to telling you how truely amazing and remarkable this story truely is. I am so in love with this book! This book is in my Top, and my top 5 EVER. Long Shot is amazing.ĭid you hear that sound? That was the sound of my mind blowing. I think the author just made the game winning shot at the buzzer from mid-court. And you will fall in love as they find the strength to fight their way to that perfect moment and take the long shot. My favorite quote is “I’d play you at the five”. The timing must be right to take the shot. MiMi, Lo, Kenan, Deck, Jared, August’s mom. The supporting characters are equally as engaging. Have I ever judged someone before for this very thing? Have I missed something in someone I know? Would I recognize it and how would I handle it? What if it was me? I don’t want to tell the secrets of the story, but there are parts that will shred you. Ok, maybe not being a basketball superstar, but that adds to the depth of the story. Their story is fiction but it could be your own story. You feel their joy, their struggles, their pain, their successes, their loss and their love. The characters draw you into their lives. Its a real life story with a very relevant story line, all set in the exciting world of basketball, with all the good, bad and the ugly.Īugust and Iris.

Long Shot is by far one of the best books I’ve read.
