The Boyfriend Game (First Kisses #5)
I rested the ball on my hip and walked back toward the equipment shed. In the dark.
Alone. With a boy.
I would be completely freaking out over varsity soccer tryouts if it weren't for the new student, Graham, who's helping me practice. He has the most amazing green eyes, curly brown hair, and perfect legs. Plus, we have lots in common, since all we both care about is soccer...more

Trisha is focused on soccer. Her two best friends, Sara and Beth, also play soccer, but they'd rather be hanging out at Pop's flirting with the boys.
When the JV Soccer coach announces that two of the players will be bumping up to Varsity, Trisha is overjoyed to hear she's on the short list for consideration. Sara is by far the best player, but she isn't nearly as excited as Trisha. So while Sara and Beth head off to Pop's, Trisha decides she's going to put...more

I got this book last week and was super excited to have gotten it because I had my eye on it as a gift for my niece Chaylene since I knew she would enjoy a book like this. Her birthday is in a couple of months and I am kind of bummed that now I gotta find another book to get her since she read this book but it's all good cause we're going to do a joint review on this one. This is also my YA read for the YA Reading Challenge so just thought I'd throw that one in there really quick.

The Boyfriend Game is a short and incredibly cute story. I didn’t know what to expect but I found that I really enjoyed this short story. I finished this book with a big smile, feeling a hundred and ten percent satisfied.

This book is about Trisha Perkins. She's a freshman on the JV soccer team at her school and she's got a shot at trying out to make it onto the Varsity soccer team. This is something that she wants above all else and because she knows that there are better players on her team that will probably get it, she decides to practice a lot harder because though those other girls are better than her, she's got more heart and she wants it more than they do so she's going to work her little butt off to get...more

Truthfully I didn’t mean to read this book. Sure, I bought it on amazon and it had been sitting on e-reader for a while now, but I never meant to read it. I was actually looking for one of my favorite scenes in another book The Boyfriend Thief, and I only saw ‘The Boyfriend’ part and I skipped to the part where the good scene in that one happens. I realized after I had started reading the scene that wasn’t really the scene I was looking for that I was in a different book, I was now curious...more

Well, it was a very quick and light read. Nothing unusual or new that I haven’t read before but sine I am bumming around the house before my night duty later, I figured, why not try to lessen your to be read books while I’m on it to at least do something. Since the TV programs I used to watch also had their season ender (a total bummer that is) and I can’t play Angry Birds (since I learned long ago that it was not as fun as it is when you play with some of your friends so all of you can go “yey!...more
This was a cute and quick read. I thought the characters were great, and I totally loved their awkwardness, so adorable. :)
I also just have to say that if I'd had a hot guy like Graham to practice soccer with when I was younger...I probably would have kept playing. :P I do watch soccer sometimes though...mostly when Cristiano Ronaldo is playing...that still counts, right? haha

Si hay algo que le encanta a Trisha es el futbol, pero más que gustarle es su pasión. Incluso ella no puede pensar en algo más que entrenar todos los días para ser mejor en el deporte. Sus dos mejores amigas, Beth y Sara, no comprenden su entusiasmo-obsesivo así que algunas veces se siente más sola e incomprendida que nunca.

QUICK READ BUUUUT: ENTERTAINING. CUTE. FRUSTRATING! :D
I looooove this book. Soccer is sexy when you think of Trisha and Graham. Both not into dating (which was what kind of frustrated me). But you cannot deny their chemistry together. They are both extraordinary. But Graham is the more frustrating one. He's like, allergic to girls. I mean, what's his problem? It's obvious that he likes Trisha so much :D Trisha, who was indenial at first too. They are so cute together. Where do you see a couple w...more

So this was definitely meant for a younger audience, but I still enjoyed the overall story. Trisha and Graham both love soccer and have a great time practicing together. Their relationship was cute and although he really acted his age at times, he was also pretty sweet with her. The story moved along pretty quick. The characters acted pretty young at times, which I guess is okay since they were only fifteen. I was first drawn to this by the cover and thought it sounded pretty cute. I honestly wo...more
I'm so pissed with Sarah. How could she blame Trisha for Kirk liking Trisha? It makes me so mad that she didn't even asked Trisha's side of story and just decided to hate her, try to take her spot on the team and even threaten to reveal her secret. And Beth for taking Sarah's side. And so when Sarah got the boy and the spot on the team she decided to be a good friend to Trisha and sympathizes on Trisha's situation.

oh my lord, did i love this book? YES..I definitely did. I liked the fact that Graham and Trisha connected through soccer, how well Stephie explained her characters and how it wasnt all about just ONE relationship, it was about three. Her friends Sara's, and how she affected it, not by purpose of course, and her friend Beth. It all went together so brilliantly! The Boyfriend Game wasnt at all boring. It kept you wanting to read through every page, and you could connect with it all so easily. I l...more
The Boyfriend Game is an adorable story with cute boys, first crushes, hanging out, going for pizza, and sharing ice cream cones. Just too cute for words really!
Trisha and Graham are all about soccer. They are friends, but do they want more? This story is about taking that next step. Putting yourself out there and in the game—the dating game. How do you balance cute boys, varsity tryouts, and best friends all while trying to hold on to what makes you who you are?

The Boyfriend Game is a light read about Trisha, a soccer lover, who's trying her best to get into varsity and Graham, the boy who she ended up practicing with and spending time with.
Trisha and Graham are both devoted to soccer and had uttered at the very beginning that they couldn't imagine themselves being in a relationship since they couldn't find something -- or someone -- more important than soccer.

Trisha's life is about soccer. She really wants to be a part of varsity and she is willing to work harder than everyone to reach her goal. The problem is none of her best friends who are in the same team with her want to practice with her. Not that they don't want to, but they are so into their men crush that anything else seems to be less important. Trisha has an admirer. Kirk likes her so much even though she never gave a good respond to him. Meanwhile, one of her best friend, Sara loves Kirk....more
So I'm officially in love with jocks and jock-reads. I mean, how can I not? That's the only time I can really read something related to sports because sports and me? We can't go together in one sentence.
The Boyfriend Game is such a sweet, fun and cute read about young love at its simplest. Oh, young love. The wonders of it.
Trisha is my type of character, those who subvert female stereotypes. I don't know I just like reading about girls who aren't girly-girly and now, I'm officially in love with...more

They have one thing in common - Soccer.
But would that be enough to take their relationship into the next level?
Trisha and Graham both have the nature of sports in their blood. Upon meeting each other and finding out that they are both dedicated to soccer, they decided to train together to improve their abilities and performance on the field and in order for Trisha to be chosen for the Varsity Team.

Right. The Boyfriend Game. I have a lot to say about this one. I’ll just get this out of the way first, I love the cover. Very chic. Very cute. Very attractive. Super lovely. I like.
What’s it about? Well, we have a freshman girl -Trisha- whose sole reason to live is soccer and she wants to make the varsity team this year. Problem is, there are only two spots on the team and her best friend Sara is definitely getting the first one. So to get the other one, Trisha works harder and goes to extra pr...more

Soccer is practically all Trisha Perkins cares about. She couldn't care less about boys, especially the ones that she thinks are only interested in her looks. When her coach announces that two girls from the JV team will be moving up to varsity, she couldn't be more excited! While her friends spend time hanging out with boys, she practices. Of course, her new practice buddy Graham is just as distracting as he is helpful, even though they both claim they're not interested in dating...

This book is also titled "The Boyfriend Game." Like the other Stephie Davis book I've read (Love At First Click), it's listed by a different name, and with a different cover photo on Goodreads than the actual book I read.
I finished this book in a day, and really enjoyed it. It took me back to my high school days, dealing with complicated friendships and the complexities of love, or atleast what you think are the complexities of love at that age. It's a short novel with a really good story.

I felt like it was a very sweet story. I could relate to most of the characters and understand the reasoning of those I did not. There was enough conflict for me to believe that it wasn't fairyland, but not too much so that I could relax (after reading novels with a lot of suspense, action, and emotion, I needed a break). Of course, there were some parts of the book that seemed cheesy to me, but it reinforced my opinion that it was a sweet read.
Trisha, the so-not-into-girly-stuff girl, loved soccer so much. She met Graham who had the same feelings like her about soccer. They did not care about love and dating like their other friends. Graham helped Trisha practice for her varsity soccer tryouts. They became soccer buddies until Trisha actually realized that Graham is more than that.
This book is really awesome! I like the story so much. It is also known as 'The Boyfriend Game'.

I don't regret having this on my shelf cause this book really rocks!
Somehow, it reminds me of 'Catching Jordan' which I've read earlier this year both of them are about Boys, Girls, Friendship, Romance and of course Sports..^^
I love Trisha's mom! and yes even her dad.

Finally a book where the girl knows she is pretty and it pisses her off rather than wielding it like a whip. I loved the characters and found them relatable and just real. Cute little read that I zoomed trough in a few hours but hey that’s all it needed. The characters while (mostly) not that deep had time to develop and grow and the whole thing was just so believable. yes i know i probably said that before

“There’s a reason I always look nice when I go to work.” I kept a scowl on my face while she hustled me upstairs.
“Because you’ll get fired if you look like a slob?”
“Because, my little grouch, it makes me feel better on the inside if I like how I look on the outside.”
