Miranda Kenneally

"A hero who will melt your heart."—Jennifer Echols, national award-winning author of Such a Rush Parker Shelton pretty much has the perfect life. She's on her way to becoming valedictorian at Hundred Oaks High, she's made the all-star softball team, and she has plenty of friends. Then her mother's scandal rocks their small town and suddenly no one will talk to her. Now Parker wants a new life. So she quits softball. Drops twenty pounds. And she figures why kiss one guy when she can kiss three. Or four. Why limit herself to high school boys when the majorly cute new baseball coach seems especially flirty? But how far is too far before she loses herself completely? Praise for Catching Jordan: "A must-read for teens! I couldn't put it down!"—Simon Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series "With a clever, authentic voice, Kenneally proves once and for all that when it comes to making life's toughest calls-on and off the field-girls rule!"—Sara Ockler, bestselling author of Fixing Delilah

I want someone who treats me like Will treats Parker

Miranda Kenneally is one of those authors that you have love because she is just so talented. 

She manages to capture unique character voices to make them feel realistic to the reader. However even though she did this so well I wasn't as invested in the characters.

I really didn't connect with Parker until halfway through the book. Parker came from a very religious background something which is present in my life but not as prominent. I got where she was coming from but I think that her actions where a bit childish in the pursuit of 'love'. 

I wish that this book has more of Corndog in because he was just lovely, sweet and downright adorable. 

I'm looking forward to reading her next book.

I have had this on my Kindle forever and I expected this to be way more tame than it was and I kind of loved that. I kind of didn't expect the student teacher 'romance' to go as far as it did. I think I liked the MC was messier and all of the place. I may not have liked all of her decisions but it felt real. We all make terrible decisions and she kept trying to do better. 

I enjoyed this and I read it in a day which is practically unheard of for me. I'm embracing the reading and we'll see if this carries on. If nothing else I'm going to reduce down my unread kindle books to an actual manageable level.

I haven't read Catching Jordan yet but I'm sure it's going to be amazing as well. This one was sooo good! The whole town basically hates her because her mom turned to be a lesbian and left the whole family. They think Parker is going to turn out like her mom. So now, she kisses as many boys as possible and becomes the school slut.

Then Coach Brian Hoffman came in. The sexy new baseball coach. Why go for high school boys when you can have that? Parker went for the coach and they got together in private. Coach Hoffman didn't want to jeopardize his own life but really liked Parker. I think he's a bastard and a jerk. Didn't like him AT ALL. I think he just wants Parker for sex but that's my opinion.

And then there's Corndog (Will)! Will is so sweet :) Will and Parker has been archenemies since high school. They both want to be the valedictorian at Hundred Oaks High. But now Will likes Parker and Parker wasn't sure of her feelings. They're the cutest match ever :3

I think all the characters are all written very nicely. Coach Hoffman got on my nerves a lot though. I actually think that he was too much of a jerk that it got unrealistic. But maybe it's because I live in my perfect little world (only 15 here, man). 

This is a book I'd definitely recommend to any girl. No, I seriously do. I basically shoved this book into my friend's face and told her to read it. (She's team Will/Corndog too!) CALLING ALL THE GIRLS, YOU NEED TO READ THIS ASAP. Like, seriously.

I enjoyed this book, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed Catching Jordan. I found Parker to be pretty unlikeable at times. Also, I wasn't expecting a book with this much religion in it. It's just not my thing.
