Publisher's summary

Only fools fall in love...

After her senior year of high school leaves behind nothing but heartache, Olivia Beaumont is sure of this: She's no stupid girl. She sets out for Winston College, promising herself that she will remain focused on her first and only love - astronomy. But all it takes is cocky sophomore Brax Jenkins and an accidental collision with a football, to throw her entire year off course.

A quick-tempered Southie who escaped the inner city streets of Boston to pitch for Winston, Brax is known to play way more fields than just the baseball diamond. So, when his name is drawn to take part in his fraternity's hazing dare, Brax eagerly accepts the mission to take Olivia's virginity. But he doesn't plan on falling hard for the sweet and sassy Texas girl who sees right through his bad-boy persona.

As Olivia and Brax battle their feelings for each other, echoes of the past year begin to surface. A boy who once turned Olivia's whole world upside down reappears, and "harmless" pranks wreak havoc. Pretty soon the aspiring astronomer is on the verge of revealing her most difficult, heartbreaking secret. All the while, Brax must wrestle with the irrevocable dare, and Olivia struggles against all logic as she does the one thing only a stupid girl would do: Fall in love.

Critic reviews

"A raw, beautiful, poignant story about pain, heartache and first love. I couldn't put it down." (Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author)

"A brilliant story full of angst, pain, love and loss, Stupid Girl has it all." ( New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cathryn Fox)

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! INDESCRIBABLY AMAZIN'!

The narrator was the BEST I've ever heard in all of the books I've listened to on here!!! I LOVED how she made Brax's voice sound and how she portaied all of the characters. Can't wait to listen to the next one!!

Stupid Girl

Something about the title caught my eye and I thought why not, I even just scrolled to what people were saying and I saw a lot of drama this and that usually, that would make me stop. But if I had I wouldn’t have listened to this book and I am glad I did.

I really enjoyed Olivia aka Gracie’s story and how she overcomes. The connection between she and Brax have even from the beginning how it grew from friends. It felt more like a Young Adult story that grew to a New Adult there are subtle differences. And I felt the change happen. Gracie really held herself up I liked how strong she stayed and how much she stood up for herself. I wasn’t sure she would but she surprised me.

Brax I think still needs work but overall him as a leading man grew on me as well.

I liked the narration a lot, I loved the accent and I really like that when Gracie repeats it in her head it’s with his accent I 100% believe audiobook is the way to go with this book it really just added that extra touch.

Loved the book

I liked characters, the narrator’s Boston accent, and the love that grew between the characters. Brax came to love Gracie in the sweetest way. 5 stars for sure.

Outstanding Story and Narration!

This story had everything I love. Characters with depth and life experiences that were real and made you feel a real connection. I could picture every scene, every move, every feeling and it was like I was standing there watching, feeling, believing. Absolutely wonderful. Cindy Miles is a new favorite for sure. I fell in love with all of the characters both primary and secondary. I laughed and cried feeling all the angst, loss, humor and love that Cindy was putting in the storyline. This book had bullying, non-consensual sex, strong female heroine, alpha males, family, love, heartache, friendships and lots of lovable memorable characters.

I listen to a lot of books, probably 20 - 30 a month and I have my favorite narrators that I search out for - you know the ones...we all have them but Elizabeth Evans is a new narrator for me and after listening to this book I can not imagine the story without her! She without a doubt put this book over the top for me and I will be searching for more with her at the mike!

Thank you both!

good listen

the only thing that bug me was when words were repeated yes we know he has a Boston accent yes we know that the words come out sounding different but do you really need to repeat them right after their said that got very annoying very quickly

Top of my List

This one is right up there with Beautiful Disaster. It’s not a dysfunctional relationship and Brax is a book boyfriend you can bring home to your mom, but he’s just as full and compelling as a character as Travis Maddox, maybe moreso. Hopefully, Cindy Mills has many more stories to tell. I’ll be here to listen.

I love this book!

This book had me hooked!! I could not stop listening. I have had a subscription from audible for a while and this is the first book that truly drew me in from beginning to end.

Yes read!

The writing brought these characters to life for me. I could feel all their feelings and relate with them.
