I’m not sure if that’s the correct word for the feeling I got in the first couple of chapters, maybe peculiar yet intriguing is more accurate. This feeling was mostly due to the fact that one of the main characters was mute and I just wasn’t sure how I felt about that because it didn’t quite make sense to me. But I got over that fairly quickly. The story is told in alternating points of view, Maggie and West. Maggie is the main character I mentioned above who is mute (by choice) and West is one of the popular guys at the local high school that Maggie will be attending after moving in with her Aunt, Uncle, and cousin (who is also West’s best friend). Maggie definitely comes from an extremely rough background and has experienced many things that no one her age should have witnessed. Because of this she has chosen to quit talking altogether. She is terrified that if she hears the sound of her voice it will bring back memories from the worst night of her life. This is partly where my issue came in at first. I couldn’t wrap my head about her thought process about talking. I guess it made sense to her and helped her cope, so I know thats what mattered. Plus with the progression of the story it becomes less and less important. West is also facing his own demons as he struggles with watching his father (and hero) slowly deteriorate due to an illness that is incurable. As expected this takes a tole on him and he needs to find a way to cope. This turns out to be shutting off his emotions, having sex with anyone at anytime, and playing football to feel any kind of pain. When he leasts expects it, Maggie is brought into his life and she turns out to be everything he never knew he needed. They end up forming a connection that no one else can understand and that actually infuriates friends and family. West is desperate to find someone who can understand what he’s going through and he finds that in Maggie. This connection eventually turns into something more, even though they both deny it for a good portion of the book. West feels like he doesn’t deserve someone as wonderful as Maggie and Maggie feels that someone like West could never be interested in someone like her. It’s quite frustrating to read about their feelings for one another and neither one of them sharing it with the other. In an unexpected turn of events, West is forced to face losing the one thing he never thought he would lose. Maggie feels West is using her to cope and will one day throw her out like she is trash. So they force themselves to separate, which doesn’t turn out to be a good idea or very effective. To be honest, the relationship that West and Maggie form is extremely envious! I know in my opinion, I would die to have someone feel for me the way West feels about Maggie. The depth of his loyalty and love for her is something I’m sure every girl dreams of. Watching their relationship develop and then crash is somewhat of a rollercoaster ride, but worth every second. I seriously fell in love with this story and couldn’t get enough of it. By the end, I was extremely sad the book would be over and was secretly hoping the next book in the serious would continue on with revealing more about West and Maggie’s relationship. However, I am more intrigued than disappointed by what the next book in the series is really about. It isn’t about Maggie and West at all, but delves deeper into another relationship that is briefly mentioned in this book. This got me extremely excited to read the next one. I feel like Maggie and West’s story was tied up nice enough to feel closure and to move on to the next drama filled relationship that the next book takes on. If you haven’t read this book yet, you SERIOUSLY SHOULD GO BUY IT NOW! It’s wonderful and amazing. Plus it’s on sale for $1.99 on desertcart for Kindle. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Personally, I’ve already bought the second book and pre-ordered the third one which doesn’t release until August 2017. Just to give you a little idea of how much I loved this book! Review: Oh gosh... I loved this book. - Footballers, Friday nights, and shy, quiet girls. A lot of good old drama and angst. Definitely FOUR STARS...FOUR AND A QUARTER. It starts out at a typical footballer party one Friday night. In the middle of Alabama. Fields and stars. Trucks and dude and girls. Maggie had just moved in with her Aunt and Uncle, her cousin sort of forced into bringing her. She hung in the shadows not really wanting to talk to anyone. Not really talking since her mother's death. West, footballer and party goer, was also not in the mood to talk to anyone. He hated being at a party when life at home wasn't going as life should. He was dealing and reeling...his girlfriend driving him insane. He found Maggie all alone. She didn't talk to him. That's okay, he didn't want to talk. They kissed at that party. From there, the stories of West and Maggie's lives collide in similarities. While she never talks, he falls for her. Their bond grows and eventually... Well, to talk about this in detail would mean I was spoiling it all. I will say that like most romantic tales, love grows and builds up then crumbles then tries again on shaky legs. I actually did cry a few times, but more for personal reasons related to West. I loved this one so much, I'm planning on getting the sequels soon to read on about tiny town football in Alabama. A very good story that I would watch as a movie.

(Varsity Blues anyone?) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great start to a wonderful new series! *by S***. on August 25, 2015* I have said it before and I will say it again—I have mad love for Abbi Glines. Her ability to write across multiple genres is impressive. I have liked all of her books, but one of my favorites is The Vincent Boys. This book brings her back into the young adult genre…and with a bang. The characters in Until Friday Night all have great depth to them. Maggie, the female MC, is one of the most complex YA characters I’ve read in a long time. Maggie is strong yet fragile, she is kind and unselfish and a smart character to read. She loves with all of her heart. West is a deeply flawed character, which I appreciate. So often the heroes’ flaws are overlooked or glossed over in favor of a nice set of abs. That is not the case with West. Yes, he is the typical good-looking football jock when the story first begins, but he develops and evolves into someone you, the reader feel for and care for and ultimately root for. The secondary characters are even developed enough that the reader can relate to them and either love or hate them. The thing that truly makes this book special is reading how the relationship between West and Maggie evolves and being drawn in to their stories. You can feel the emotions that ebb and flow between Maggie and West and they are realistic enough to be believable and even though I know this is fiction, I want the story to be real enough. It is evident that Abbi Glines loved this project and put her heart and soul into this story. In this first book alone, she has cared enough to develop the secondary characters so that the reader is now interested in what their story might be, as well. I’m not sure if this is intended to be a Stand-alone or not. The main characters do get a HEA, but, in my opinon, there was one question unanswered. Could be just me. Probably is just me. However, Abbi Glines characters almost always make a reappearance in later books in her series and often have second books.
