Statement:
I started reading this book expecting a very cliche situation where the popular, racial majority student falls for the racial minority deliquent. In many ways, my expectations were fulfilled. Despite that, I think that the way Randle went about this definitely puts a new spin on this old plot.
Question:
I have read many books in my life regarding the jocks of the school being the emulated and popular. Yet, in many of those books, despite their popularity, they are perceived as the "bad guys." Why are the "bad" students in these stories considered the most popular?
