Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. 3 Library book with a cute cover (not the one in the goodreads photo) that caught my eye and I was intrigued by the idea of a female state champion QB as the heroine of a romance novel. Plot is a love triangle/QB controversy and a tomboy trying to navigate the romantic AND non romantic relationships in her life with mixed results It had potential but left me feeling flat. I was unimpressed by the writing and also felt like the author must have had a sponsorship deal with Gatorade because I think she mentioned it every few sentences. So good ideas but I had a hard time caring about any of the characters. This book was really good and packed a much bigger punch then i expected. It turned into a different love story then i was expecting but i really enjoyed the main character and her path. I like seeing a girl in football and the impact that had on her life. It was a fast pace read and hope to read more by this author soon. This book was really good and packed a much bigger punch then i expected.

It was a fast pace read and hope to read more by this author soon. Meh, meh, and more meh. The whole book just struck me as shallow. Jordan was pretty self-absorbed and the rest of the characters were two-dimensional (or in some cases, one dimensional). And at the risk of sounding like the pearl-clutching, hand-wringing hordes, the attitude towards sex was so, so casual, it was a little weird and I think would have been better suited to the New Adult or Contemporary Romance genres than it was towards Young Adult.
"4 out of 5 stars!! I think I half fell in love with this novel ever since I read it's description! How could anyone, not like reading about a girl who is more tomboy than anything yet still cute that has a football team full of guy friends and is still coming into her own woman. I could not get enough of this book! Jordan's friends are great and..." Check out my review and a TEASER here: http://frommetoyouvideophoto.blogspot... Debut author Kenneally does a solid job of depicting Jordan’s conflicted emotions, the pressure she is under, and her testy relationship with her father. Despite the gridiron setting, this is at its heart a romance—most of the action and drama takes place off the field. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Hundred Oaks (1)

HTML: "Whoever said football and girls don't mix hasn't read Catching Jordan. I couldn't put it down!" — Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series ONE OF THE BOYS What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though–she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line? "A beautiful novel with a real and captivating depiction of high school relationships, Catching Jordan shows the same reverence for the human heart that it does for the game of football." —Karsten Knight, author of Wildefire .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
