Blurb : Senior Year. Middle of nowhere.What’s the new girl to do? For Piper Marks, the answer is simple. She’s determined to have her photography rock the cover of National Geographic someday, and moving to Clarkton, Iowa for her last year of high school is not going to stop her. Even if her usual subjects have changed from bright lights and skyscrapers to fields, cows…and more fields. But when photographer at the local paper quits in a huff, she steps into his spot. Her new job keeps Piper busy capturing tackles, and zooming in on first downs and end zone dances, not to mention putting her directly in the path of varsity football star Les Williams IV. Her new friends warn her off, but she can’t resist the pull she feels toward this mysterious country boy. But this small town is keeping a secret, and it’s one that could destroy any chance they have to be together. It’s up to Piper to decide what to do with the distorted truth. Can she risk exposing her heart? It might be worth it, ’cause Les is about to change her world from black and white to fully saturated color.
Review : I just read Pixelated by L.S. Murphy and I must say the story is just great. I mean really great. The writing is flawless and fluent and I was really surprised I enjoyed it so much. And now comes the inevitable BUT …
I had some serious issues with Piper. As a female I automatically try to feel and understand the female lead characters first when I read a novel. While I like or dislike and also feel for the male leads – it is always the female that is the most important for me.
Les was just great – there is nothing negative I could say about this character. He was written perfect. Lovable in all his ways and deep in his feelings and his struggle. BUT Piper ? I am still not even sure how I should visualize her. I really got a whiplash with her for most of the books. First she sounds like the chliche cheerleader type, then suddenly she is the geek, then she is just a horrible friend one moment and sulking in selfpity the next.
Really for most of the book instead of enjoying the story I was trying to figure out how to see Piper. Don’t get me wrong – I really liked the book and the story in total … just Piper was at times rather …”difficult”
