Abby Ryan has her whole life planned out, up until graduation that is. As a journalism major at the University of Southern Washington, she has one goal in mind for her last semester of senior year: secure a scholarship for grad school. But when a scholarship opportunity arises that requires her to write a feature article on USW's star basketball player and notorious playboy, Tristan Beck, lines start to blur and Abby soon realizes that staying focused can be hard when you're trying not to fall in love.

Tristan Beck has been focused on one thing since he started at USW on a full-ride scholarship: put up the numbers and bust his ass to get drafted into the NBA after graduation. With only a semester standing between him and the draft, he knows that this is his last chance to impress the scouts. When Abby Ryan, a witty and magnetic journalism student, asks to interview him for an article, he knows the publicity will be beneficial, but when they start spending time together and he realizes that he might want her in more than his typical hook-up-only fashion, he has to remind himself of why he refuses to date, and where his priorities need to lie. -

This was a typical college romance book. Think Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus Series but with basketball instead of hockey. It’s hard to talk about this book without talking about what happened beside the scenes.

Short and simple, the author is problematic. And people are rightfully so upset about the actions and comments of the author. It’s something that should be known prior to reading the book. Everyone has the right to read what they want, but please do research beforehand. Below are two articles that give a much better summary of the situation then I could ever do:

If I had read prior reviews before reading this book, I wouldn’t have read 500 pages of an average college sport romance book.

Final Analysis

Write Me Off is an excessively long sports college romance book that loses its spark within the first 10% of the book. In addition, it is written by someone who fails to realize how damaging their actions can be and take responsibility for their actions.
