Title: Fight For Her
Author: Liz Plum
Publisher: Wattpad Books
Release Date: March 9, 2021
Pages: 352

From the outside, being the heir to a million-dollar auto repair company, the girlfriend to the school’s quarterback, and admired by her peers, means Scarlet Tucker’s life seems perfect. But after the tragic death of her brother, every day is a struggle to keep up appearances―especially with her boyfriend, who cares more about his reputation than about Scarlet’s feelings.

When Scarlet accidentally slams into her school’s resident bad-boy-slash-outcast, Elijah Black, in the hallway, he shakes up more than her notebooks. Scarlet’s heard rumors about Elijah, but she’s drawn to him because they share the same sorrow―they’ve both lost a brother. As they grow closer, Elijah lets Scarlet into his hidden life of underground fighting, where long-buried secrets that impact both of their lives unravel. Before long, Elijah and Scarlet are in too deep to turn back, and the only way they’ll survive is to stick together.

My Thoughts

**Thank you so much to NetGalley and Wattpad Books for sending me an Advanced Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review!** 

One late night, Scarlet and her family receive news that her brother, Max, has died. It instantly turns her world upside down. On the outside and at school, Royal Eastwood High, she's what every girl wants to be, but on the inside, she's suffocating from the loss of her brother.

Every day people in our small town see the muscled arm of our school's star quarterback wrapped around me and friends surrounding me on all sides. The view from the outside, however, only scrapes the surface of who I, Scarlet, really am. The inside paints a much different picture; a picture that only my eyes see.

Every school has a bad boy and that's Elijah's role at Royal Eastwood High. Besides getting called a freak and bullied by Jack and his group, he is also struggling to cope with the loss of his brother. As Scarlet and Elijah grow closer to each other, secrets and feelings begin to unravel. 

No one can fully comprehend the idea that someone can be smiling and laughing with you one second and be permanently gone from your life the next. 

Star Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3)

The character growth in the book was great. I found Elijah admirable because of his self-control. Even though he was a fighter, he never picked a fight with Jack when he made fun of him. Instead, he just ignored him and didn't show that he was bothered.

Fight For Her was action-packed and fast-paced. The unexpected twists and turns kept me guessing and I finished the book super quickly, it only took me a couple of hours. It was a very good quick read that kept me interested. I'm definitely interested in reading other works by the author!
