The Boyfriend Game (First Kisses)
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 so

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.

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 dec...more

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...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 book has the typical crappy best friends. The best friends that are all in fashion and boy-crazy. The best friends who are determined to make the heroine boy-crazy and fashionable too. Bleh. Those types are awful. In this case, the friendship is just torturous. So bitchy and snobbish. Hate it hate it hate it. But I do have to admit - there was some decent groveling too.

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

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
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?

First off, I know this is tagged as a one night read. It's an afternoon read.
Second off, one of the CUTEST books ever!!
Third off, Completely predictable
Fourth off, I love this book.
It's TOTALLY cute! Like in no way can this book be seen as not. I think the length is fine for the story, the character chemistry is brilliant... so on. I love the soccer thing too. It's really nice reading a sports book (:

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.

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...more

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'.

If a guy told me he thought of me as one of the guys, I would...wait that is EXACTLY what my bf told me when we first met, well not that day, but after we became really good friends, like Graham and Trisha are. It made me feel horrible of course because I was secretly in love with him. And like Graham, he had no interest in girls. I honestly thought he was gay! I liked this book, but it was too, I dont know, it just wasn't amazing.
I haven't read YA fiction in a long time, so reading this was like a blast from the past.
Trish, the protagonist, loves soccer and doesn't really understand why her friends are going gaga for boys. When she meets Graham, attraction is instantaneous, if they both weren't so phobic about relationships. Graham is the same as Trish, his life is all about soccer and he has no place of girls. of course, both of them like each other, but have no idea how to go about it - fearing that tellin...more

Oh my god, this is so funny!
This book is so sweet, nice and cute. I manage to finished it in three hours so that mean the story must be very interesting. I glad I read it.

hilarious! It's a book guys and girls everywhere can relate to nowadays. Young adult fiction should be fresh, young, funny, completely relatable, irresistable. The Boyfriend Game was all of these.
Actually, I’m no longer interested to read these types of books that the background of the story is about how to chase over BOYS. I think these books are suitable for, yeah of coz for young adults, teenagers or school children. For me, I just want to make fun of reading these since its using a very simple English and the story plot is very light and totally to give you something that suit you with the teenage life, have clique and-so-called boy/girl things. Not much can I review about these book...more
i fell in love with this book from the first page i read!:)))) i love this author and this book totall reflects how a great writer she is!:D
what i learned from this book was to never judge at first impressions because once you warm up to somebody they could change completely
I loved this book. Aww! It was so adorable . I knew everything that was gonna happen. Anyways it was ok but very legit at the end.
so peurile.. But this is chick lit. I should have seen this one coming.. is it too much to ask for some Dash & Lily?
Me ha gustado, es un libro fresco sin grandes pretensiones. Cuenta una historia simple pero bonita.
Sweet, amusing, adorable book, that will plant a perpetual grin on your face!!! ENDEARING!!!
Me encanto! Me parecio tan facil de leer y tan entretenido! Lo recomiendo para pasar un buen rato.
3.5 :)
This was a cute, first-love, quick read :)
Perfect for a summer read! :D

“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.”
