(More customer reviews)Kody Keplinger blew me away with her debut novel The DUFF, so I went into Shut Out with the hopes that she could pull out something even half as good. Shut Out was definitely that, I would say that I loved it almost as much, and that is saying something. I was hooked from page one of Shut Out, and devoured it in one sitting.
Shut Out is a battle of the sexes, a love story, a tale of friendship, and more. I'm not sure how Kody Keplinger managed to put so much into one fun-filled story, but I'm so glad that she did. I can't count the number of times I found my self laughing out loud. I experienced the characters emotions (and trust me they were many, and wide ranging) but that is what made this story so enjoyable.
Each character was so relatable, whether you loved them or hated them. From Lissa, the well meaning, and slightly neurotic main character, to the sexy guys that she is battling, to the best friend who is who always seems to be right (even when Lissa doesn't want her to be), to the bitchy other friend that never has anything nice to say. They are all well written and so easy connect with.
I would recommend Shut Out to anyone who loves a good battle of the sexes, loves a good laugh, or just loves a good read, I don't think you will be disappointed. Shut Out brings all of that and so much more.

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 with the soccer team or to prank their locker room. 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.
