Summary:
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?
Ty Green was your typical jock character. Yes, I enjoyed reading about him but there was something holding me back throughout. There was something off about him. I did feel sorry for him though, so I wasn’t completely heartless! His past did explain the way he reacted in certain situations.
Now on to, SAM HENRY! I loved him right from the start! He was Jordan’s best friend and I really loved their relationship. There were times in the novel when I could have screamed at him (you’ll understand if you’ve read the novel!) but they were special circumstances.
I was left reeling at the ending. I couldn’t believe that it was left so amazingly but I also couldn’t believe that Miranda Kenneally was a mind reader! It was written exactly as I would have ended it. It was definitely the definition of perfect!

Fantastic review, as always, Lucy! Thanks for sharing!

It’s set in the same high school or town .. and it kept mentioning this girl, Jordan, and I swear to you, I read *80%* of the novel before I realised it was the same girl from Catching Jordan. I.AM.AN.IDIOT.
