This particular book has been n the back burner because of the sports angle. Just sounded kind of boring for me. Thanks for the heads up on the audio.

I a...I won a copy of this arc, but never got to it. I also have never read anything by this author, despite the hype. I did read Dairy Queen years ago, though, and did enjoy that one. I can't imagine any of the girls I went to school with trying to play football--or being accepted--although I wouldn't have anything against it, of course. I think kids are a bit more accepting these days, but I imagine in certain places it would still be completely unheard of. I do plan on picking this one up, but it sounds like I should stick with the print book. I HATE it when a narrator is all breathy and whiney.

I can't stand the Kirbs and...That gif is funny!<br />I can't stand the Kirbs and was so bummed when I saw he was narrating this one. I just don't see him pulling of a teen character since he sounds really old. I've heard Amy and liked her okay but that breathy thing drives me nuts! I hate Justine Eyre!<br />I read this one and really liked it. Her Perfect Chemistry series is good but I haven't read the other series.<br />It seems like it was at least okay for you. Catching Jordan is awesome and let me know if you get Dairy Queen on audio. I already have it on my wish list.

I still need to read All Lined Up, but it's Cora Carmack, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it way more than this one.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-34056714357288590192014-07-22T00:56:24.702-05:002014-07-22T00:56:24.702-05:00Her books aren't favorites of mine.

Haven't read this one yet, even though I love football and I love football stories (hellooooo All Lined Up), because the Perfect Chemistry series was just so cheesy. I fear the same thing here. :/ I think the girl having a more difficult go of it would also make a more interesting story.
