ARC REVIEW: Skater Boy by Mary Catherine Gebhard

Rebels. Misfits. Bad boys who rule the streets. Everyone’s welcome at the worst kept secret in town, just as long as you don’t mind getting your reputation—and your heart—a little dirty.

Welcome to Patchwork House…

Patchwork House is a boy’s club—a mean boy’s club. They made an exception for Tweetie once, and they’re going to make another, because she’s coming home. After two years away and one too many broken hearts, Tweetie swore off skaters—but she never expected Flip.

Flip was the most famous skater in the world until he traded his place at Patchwork with the little girl whose life he ruined. Now Tweetie’s all grown up, and one chance encounter brings them together. He knows the right thing to do is disappear before things get ugly, but he never was very good at being good.


She’s back, and so is he—all bets are off. Nothing will stop this bad boy from finally getting his lost girl. They’re written in the stars, and it’s time she knows it.

The first lesson Flip taught Tweetie was how to fall.It was also the last thing she remembered when they met again, because she didn’t just fall for him.

She slammed.

4.5 Hearts!

I really enjoyed this story! Mary is a new to me author and I was really excited to read this book, and it was so good! The love story of Flip and Tweetie is most definitely a unique one at that!


There are several twists and turns throughout this book and you switch back and forth between the past and the present, and both Flip and Tweetie’s POVs. It was nice to know what was going on in both of their heads and especially their lives, for during the times they were apart.


I also really loved the concept of the Patchwork House boys that acted as Tweetie’s guardians and cared for her, that warmed my heart!!

Overall, this was a really great book and I definitely recommend it!
