Dairy Queen is a story about family, coming of age, and young love. A romance between two of the most unlikely characters begins when the protagonist, D.J., a small-town farm girl, and her counterpart, a spoiled quarterback on the rival football team are forced together for the day. Brian, the football jock, is forced to go to D.J.'s family's farm and work there for the day. D.J.'s family has been raised to love football, almost more than their own lives. Normally unwilling to associate with any member of the rival high school's football team, they only allow Brain to stay because they are old friends with his coach, the person who sent him. D.J. is assigned to take Brian around the farm and put him to work. Although she does most of the work during the day, he still thinks his small load is too much and he quits. The coach forces him to return and asks D.J. to be his trainer. Though star-crossed, the two agree to it and begin, over time, to form a friendship, which later turns into love. The novel is full of wit and sarcasm, love and romance, and most of all football.
The book is a little slow, I think I had a difficult time with the writing style. Other than that the book is great. It is funny and sweet (a little too sweet, but not overkill). A fun read for anyone... but mostly girls.
