Rendition During Books Don't Hate the Player...Hate the Game
For Noah Sullivan being the best friend to a douchebag and player like Jake Nelson has never been easy. It's been a rocky road since kindergarten when Jake duct taped Noah to his chair before recess. With just six weeks to high school graduation, Jake accidentally blows his drunken ass up on his grandfather's tractor, and Noah finds himself immersed not only in a whirlwind of grief, but on a quest to find a mystery girl from Jake's past.While cleaning out Jake's room, Noah and Jake's dad make a startling discovery. Instead of the obligatory porn collection or pot stash, they find a ring, but not just any ring. Its half a carat of commitment in a platinum setting-proving even man whores have taste. After Jake's mom pleads with Noah to find the girl who meant so much to Jake, Noah begins a modern day Grail quest to track the girl down.
Since Jake was a notorious player with a legendary collection of trophy panties, Noah finds himself in over his head. There are the usual suspects like Avery, the Ice Princess Jake dated for appearances, or Presley, the school mattress Jake dated for convenience. But the trail begins to point to the most unlikely of suspects: Maddie, the Valedictorian and choir girl who was trying to help the unmotivated jock graduate--the girl who also has surprisingly caught Noah's eye and meddled with his heart.
Hanging out with Maddie shows Noah a different side of Jake--one that was deeply human and surprisingly douche-free. And the more he tries to solve the mystery of the ring and of Jake, the more Noah starts to discover about himself and of love.

So... Let's put it this way, this wasn't my fav book of the year! The story itself wasn't bad but I was just so...BOREDNoah Sullivan is 17years old and his best friend ever is Jake.Best friends since age 5 but Jake is the ladies man of the duo. When he comes back from Spring Break he gets news that Jake has been killed in an accident.Noah's world is shattered and when he goes to Jakes house, he accompanies Jakes dad to his room to gather some sentimentals for the funeral.They find a black boxThe basis of the this novel is Noah's best friend Jake dies tragically. Noah and Jake's father find an engagement ring in Jake's room. Shocking because Jake is pretty much the definition of a player. Noah is asked to find out who the ring belongs to and thus our journey begins. This book is about so much more than just finding out who the "ring girl" is. It's about finding yourself. As someone who has lost someone close to them, like most people have, I found this story incredibly touching.
This book was amazing. I loved the emotions that it inspired in me. It was inspiring to see how something so hard as unexpected death could enable so many great things to happen.I loved Noah's growth during the book - he started as a normal teenager, with some issues, and throughout the book we could see how he confronted them and in the end, he could overcome them.This is, hands down, one of the best stories I've read this year.
I read this novel a while back and I LOOOOOVED it so much! Noah stole my heart in this book! I can't wait until the rest of the world gets to experience this story! You do not want to miss this AWESOME YA novel by Krista Ashe/Katie Ashely (NY TIMES Best Selling author of The Proposal)! It's one of my top reads. Very memorable! It hasn't left me after two years of reading it.
The summary of this book will not mislead you to expect something else. Like it was written in pure black and white. While the death of Jake triggered things in Noahs life, I still find myself fascinated that him being gone still moved huge things in his life. He found his issues sorted because of the girl Jake was supposed to ask to marry.What I loved about Ms. Ashleys book that it just written in my right formula. I dont have to be in super deep thoughts. Not that this book is shallow or
Wow, this was one intense emotional read. I am a HUGE fan of Katie Ashley this woman can write some amazing stories that suck you in as a reader. I was enthralled with Dont Hate the PlayerHate the Game! It kept me emotionally engaged and I was left with moments of happiness and sadness. This is so much more than a love story. Its about hope, love, grief, sadness, and a journey of self-exploration to find out who you really are. I think Katie Ashley did a fantastic job on this novel.So whats
Please don't let my star rating discourage you from reading this story. The premise was good, the writing was also good, but I was just bored...I didn't connect with any of the characters. And to be honest, I don't think I was in the right mindset when I started, I might have enjoyed it more if I had been told that this was going to a Christian YA novel. I went in expecting an angst filled story but what I got was a story filled with references to the bible. I really wished that I liked this
