What did I think of Catching Jordan? Umm.. well.. it was FREAKING AMAZING! There is just so much I could say about this book. It has romance, humor, love, loss, friendship, family - it has something for absolutely everyone. Even if you aren't into sports - like me - or know nothing about football - like me - don't even hesitate to pick it up. This is a masterpiece written by a brilliant mastermind that you Can. Not. Miss!!

*fangirling!*

Ok, phew. Now, let's start with Jordan. Our dear wonderful J...more

Such a great comfort book for rainy days (like today here).

I looked at Catching Jordan with my "snarky eyes" - if there is such a thing - for a good part of it, to be honest.

I looked at Catching Jordan with my "snarky eyes" - if there is such a thing - for a good part of it, to be honest.
First of all, a girl playing football?! How can you write a book about a girl playing football after DJ Schwenk in Dairy Queen and not expect to be mercilessly subjected to comparison with that winning series? Ok, the plots differ but, at the end of the day, they're both about the coming of age of two girls chasing their dreams.
Add to that a fairly predictable plot, a few clichés including a love triangle, a difficult father/daughter relationship and some mean cheerleaders and you got yourself the perfect recipe for imminent disaster - or the same, unmemorable old soup, at the very least.

Surprisingly, Catching Jordan is far from unmemorable, in my opinion. What makes it stand out from the mass of mediocrity and triteness?
Two things worked particularly well for me: characters and dialogues.

Jordan can definitely shake hands and go eat some wings with DJ, rest assured. Ok, she is probably the most oblivious girl ever to walk the planet in a few millennia in matters of the heart but, aside from that, her voice is real, funny, honest and even though I am not sure I can relate to a teen quarterback, she's one of those characters that are instantly likable, if only for the fact that she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Plus, she's one of those girls that feel more comfortable hanging out with guys rather than with girls and with that I can totally relate.
Ok, let me clear my voice now... the real star of this book is, in fact, Sam Henry. Ty looks like Chace Crawford? Ty, WHO? This guy can easily compete for the swoon-worthy crush title any day of the year, as far as I'm concerned... I haven't liked a male (teen) character this much since Tucker Avery in Unearthly. Enough said.

But if you feel that might not be enough for you, let me assure you this book is also freaking hilarious. It's fun, fun, fun. Relaxing, refreshing, obviously light, there might have been a passage or two involving a fake baby that had me stifling my laughter not to wake the kids.

Of course it's also not perfect. Clichés and predictability aside, personally I thought Jordan got off the hook in a certain situation a little too easily for my taste. Still, I am sure this book will see a lot of readers satisfied and entertained; just look at the ratings.
Don't let yourself be misled by the footballish theme because, even though it is, in fact, about playing ball, it never gets too much or too technical. This is a 100% kick-back-and-relax kind of book.

This was such a sweet, adorable read. Another one of those "mood" stories and thankfully, it fell into my lap at just the right time.

Jordan's a complete tomboy and despite being in her senior year, she hasn't even had her first kiss yet. That all changes when there's a new transfer in town, whom she actually starts developing "girly" feelings for.

Fantastic! I loved meeting Jordan and Henry again, and I absolutely loved this short, but sweet and adorable glimpse at their past.

In this short prequel to Catching Jordan, Kenneally shows us how much Jordan and Henry cared for each other even before they both realized that what they had was more than just friendship. It's almost Christmas and Jordan knows exactly what she wants to get for Henry. The ideal Christmas gift is pricey, though, and while that's not a problem for Jordan, Henry is too...more

Jordan Woods is a senior in high school, captain and quarter-back of the foot-ball team, she's also a girl. Jordan lives and breathes foot-ball, she's been playing since she was seven. Her father is an NFL star player (although, he doesn't approve of Jordan playing), her brother plays in college, and all her friends are the players on her team. Because of this Jordan has never had a boyfriend or even kissed a guy. She worries she'll lose focus on her goal of getting a scholarship, and playing on her favorite college team at University of Alabama. Jordan also knows exactly how the guys on her team treat girls, hooking-up and using them for sex, with no regard for their feelings. Jordan doesn't want to be among the list of one-night-stands.

Enter Ty Green, just transferring from Texas. Ty could be a look-alike for Chace Crawford. He's also a quarter-back and now on Jordan's team. Suddenly Jordan's is not so focused, not when Ty's is making her hormones do flip-flops. Ty doesn't seem to be distracted by the cheerleaders, like her other teammates that are always throwing themselves at the players. He seems to only have eyes for Jordan. But Jordan's best-friend, and teammate, Henry worries that Ty is cozying up to Jordan for his own good, trying to use her to get her position. Add to that Jordan suddenly finds out why Henry's last girl-friend broke up with him, and now she's really confused.

I loved this book. This is another one I had to stay up late to finish. Jordan is a great character, strong and determined on the outside, but soft as a marshmallow on the inside. Your heart breaks right along with hers in a few places. I liked this quote:

"I get it. But Kristen Markum?" His face goes all red, and he kicks some rocks into the river. "Won't happen again." "You mean, you're not going to screw around with girl after girl anymore?" "I dunno. I gotta cope somehow." "Your coping," I say, making finger quotes, "is fucking with my heart. You were breaking it long before I even knew how you felt. I've been worried about you."

Ughh!! Hate that girl Kristen!!

I loved Jordan's relationship with her family, her mother was such a sweet-heart, always being there for Jordan and supporting her. Jordan's brother was also supportive and there for her too. She obviously had issues with her father, and I like how that played out, as well. The only reason I rated this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is because I wish we would have had more at the end. The payoff was short and felt a bit rushed. However, I just read that there is another book coming out in fall 2012 that is a companion to Catching Jordan. I hope these characters show up and maybe we'll get to see the "more" I'm talking about: (view spoiler) together as a couple!!!

For a better, I mean completely different league better, book about a girl who plays football, pick up Dairy Queen and forget this one.

In Dairy Queen, protagonist DJ Schwenk struggles with the reality of a girl playing a tough, physical boy sport. She deals with different degrees of acceptance. She balances her hopes, dreams and the realities of her situation. Unlike Jordan here.

Let’s see, Jordan is a high school senior, and daughter of a NFL pro. Not only is her dad a NFL hero, but in college he was a two-time Heisman trophy winner. Um...what the fuck with the slap in the face to Archie Griffin??? The man who happens to be the only real life two time Heisman winner, and an alumni of The Ohio State University! (On that note, author Miranda Kenneally clearly has a beef with Ohio State... her players don't care when Ohio State scouts come to the game but get their ~~panties~~ jockstraps in an uproar when scouts from the team up North come to check them out. Whatever :P)

At any rate... Jordan. Her dad is a football hero. Her brother is doing quite well in college ball. And Jordan herself has been her town's star quarterback since she was in grade school. So it is accepted that she is a kick ass football player, despite being a girl. Uh huh. I get it. Really. Girls can do anything boys can do. Except... sometimes they can't. Sorry ladies. But physically girls simply don't measure up. We don't. So while a girl may be able to compete with some guys, in the end guys are bigger, have more muscle mass and therefore more strength. Yet Jordan seems to think that she has a shot at winning a full football scholarship at a Division I-A football school. Do you know how very difficult that is? For talented football playing boys??? Let alone a girl? She says she loves football and wants to play football... which I can believe. But why must she go to the best of the best? To compete in a sport in which girls can't possibly compete? What the fuck is wrong with going to a smaller school? Do you know how many high school kids may be hometown (or even statewide) heroes and have to make the heartbreaking decision between accepting a scholarship to a Division I-A school and probably not getting field time because of the talent and the competition... and accepting a scholarship at a smaller and less prestigious school yet getting lots of playing time because the competition isn't nearly as fierce? When boys, talented boys, are faced with this decision... it is difficult for me to believe that a girl would be recruited by (and play at) a Division I-A school.

Furthermore, the kids in this book casually make statements such as, "He's NFL material" Uh, what? Firstly... going from high school football to college football is such a huge leap. So many high school stars simply fizzle out when it comes to college ball. And the transition from college to NFL is an even greater one. In so many ways, it is an entirely different game.

Anyway..... the "sports" aspect of this book severely disappointed me. Clearly, LOL. As for the lurve aspect... clichéd triangle. Jordan was shallow, the story line was unrealistic. Lurve triangle at its worst. Sorry, but there was nothing redeemable or enjoyable about this story.

Oh football fumble! I was really looking forward to reading and falling head over heels for Catching Jordon. The reviews were looking positive, my book club was enjoying this, and I was getting the whole D.J. Schwenk vibe just by reading the book jacket. But after finishing this book, the score is Dairy Queen 5 stars, Catching Jordon 3 stars. I really didn’t feel more than a minimal like for this book, which is pretty disappointing considering how much I was looking forward to it.

In this story, we meet Jordon Woods who plays football for Hundred Oaks High. She’s on her way to having a stellar season with a team that not only respects her as the captain of the team, but cares for her as a friend. Jordon also has a great chance at making full scholarship with Alabama, and her football stats have never looked better. But, that all changes when Tyler Green walks on the field and threatens to steal her position and heart faster than she can pass the football to her wide receiver.

There were a few reasons I had a hard time falling for this book. First and foremost, I felt character confusion. I didn’t know who Sam versus Henry was until half way through the book, when I found he was the same person. (DOH!) Also, I was never quite sure if I was suppose to fall for Ty, but there was just something about him that left me feeling cold about this character. In addition, I feel some of the characters suffered from lack of development to such a degree that if you ask me to name more than three characters in this book in about a month, I’ll be stumped. None of them stood out to me to any significant degree.

Next, I was bothered by the way Pop Warner Football and Cheerleaders in general were portrayed in this book. Too many stereotypes and misconceptions were thrown out there for me to just let it slide.

Lastly, I don't like it when characters use physical force to get their point across... even if it's a girl doing the punching. That just rubs me the wrong way. So when Jordon punched Sam or Henry in the jaw, I cried FOUL. Just not cute or funny. : { I get Jordon was trying to act tough and un-girly... but there's other ways to achieve that, and hitting/punching is not one of them.

Overall, the concept was great and I liked the whole theme of girl football player trying to beat the odds in addition to the teenage concepts as they relate to friendship, loyalty and first love… All very promising, but when the final play was delivered I sort of let my poms poms fall to the floor feeling disappointed in the story. :((less)

***Possible Spoilers***

Catching Jordan is one of them books that I knew I had to get my hands on ever since I first heard about it! I definitely glad I did because this book is YA at its best.

Jordan Woods is the captain of her school football team; the only thing is she’s the only female on the team. What girl wouldn’t love that? But she’s treated like one of the guys and she loves it. Her best friends are all males and she like to take the mick out of the cheerleaders. When new guy Ty moves to town, he makes the team and could possibly threaten Jordan’s position, however when Ty shows that he’s not interested into taking Jordan’s position but in Jordan herself…..Jordan starts going through things she never expected to feel. She’s starting to feel like an actual girl.

I loved Jordan! She’s one of them kick ass girls that you always want to read about. She’s very focused, she’s determined and she doesn’t let anyone push her around. I have to say, there were times when I thought I was reading this book from a boys point of view rather than a girls because Jordan being a tom boy almost thinks like a boy. She acts like a boy; she talks like a boy….well…..that is until Ty comes into the picture. Ty brings out Jordan’s girly side and it was great getting to read about her getting nervous about what to wear at school, what underwear to wear and of course, how to kiss. Ty is one of them characters that you love straight away, he’s gorgeous and there’s definitely something about him. He had a hard life and is trying to provide for his family but I loved how he opened up with Jordan. Did I think their relationship was perfect? Ermmm…..probably not. I loved watching the attraction grow but I felt something was missing and I definitely didn’t like how Jordan jumped into bed with Ty within 5 minutes.

Now, the love triangle! I have got to say I wasn’t even expecting it and I can’t believe I missed all the signs from the start. When Henry was being funny with Jordan and sleeping around with all the girls, I was half expecting to announce he was gay but boy was I shocked when it was revealed….he’s in love with Jordan! Henry was definitely a swoon worthy character and I probably don’t agree with how he treated Jordan while she was dating Ty but he sure does make up for it. Jordan + Henry = Perfect Match in my opinion.

Overall, Catching Jordan was my first book my author Miranda Kenneally and it definitely won’t be my last. It’s was witty, romantic and funny and I guarantee your will love it….so try it!

Thank you to NetGalley & Sourcefire books for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

Picked it up. Didn’t put it down until the last page. Catching Jordan was such a fun book to read. I wanted to do it again as soon as I finished!

I think maybe I liked the book so much because I really related to Jordan. Especially my high school self. I wasn’t on the football team but I was really active in 4-h and FFA and there aren’t many girls in my area that were involved in that sort of thing, so most of my friends were guys. And they were just like the guys in this novel! Good job Kenneall...more

So, when you have a history, you're so afraid you won't love the buddy's book or it won't live up to the hype you have in your head.

That thought went out the window by the first chapter. Jordan is an awesome character with a great sense of humor and snark. She's so down with the boys, and Miranda is totally able to capture teen speak and teen boys--as well as the typical high school caste system! Jordan's a truck driving, football playing BADASS!!

First disclaimer is I LOATHE football. So I was really scared I was gonna loathe this book b/c duh, Jordan plays football. Nope, that's the beauty of Miranda's writing. She even made me love football. DAMN HER!!

Swoonworthy factor....a steamy 110%, and while I know we're supposed to go for Ty, I was so rooting for Henry. Is it bc I'm usually the Henry in relationships aka the friend? Hmm, maybe? But Henry is just amazing...so cute, so flawed, so typical "I'm a guy so I can't own my feelings" kinda thing. I swooned many, many times over him!! I also wanted to smack him a few times, but he never lost my love! It's not too spoilery to say how much I loved the Home Ec, Jerry Rice, baby project...that's when my love for Henry was totes cemented!!

I love how clueless Jordan is with guys. Miranda totally nailed the tomboy aspect, and it's hilarious watching Jordan start to embrace her inner estrogen filled womanhood! I also love how Jordan manages to allow herself to have friends who are girls like Carrie and Marie.

Great family dynamic with Mike, the older brother, the adoring Mom who supports her daughter in football, but at the same time, wants her to be a girly girl. And the asshole Dad, who is unsupportive of Jordan's dreams, but at the same time, he does have fatherly reasons for feeling that way.

With JJ and Carter and Henry, the football team bffs, there are also great, well drawn characters who jump off the page. I found myself wanting to be at a table with the four-some, downing some of their legendary food fests(don't read this book while you're hungry!)

So, there's one book you MUST read in December, and that's Catching Jordan!!! (less)

It shocked me a little how much alike Miranda's and my mind apparently work, but in the end I think it's okay to say, the stories are different enough to relax.

CATCHING JORDAN was a master class piece . . . at the beginning. I didn’t expect much when I opened the book, but I was drawn into the events right from the start. Jordan is such a fun and fresh character that I kept reading not to see the romance evolve but just to get more of her crazy antics. It’s hilarious to watch her try to dress up like a normal teenage girl to impress Ty, or at least, get his attention. When she calls herself wild for wearing a fitting black tee instead of her usual football jerseys, I was cracking up.

What struck me as extraordinary in a YA girls book was how much Jordan could eat. Playing football burns a lot of calories, and she shovels them back in at mealtimes with her friends and family. It’s also during those mealtimes, that we get to know Jordan’s father, who’s a complete ass. At least for two thirds of the book. He doesn’t support her football career, even though he’s a football pro himself, and he never came to any of her important games. Throughout the book, Jordan’s relationship with her father changes, mostly thanks to her mother, who must be the loveliest woman on the planet.

Now to the romance. It wasn’t clear from the beginning, who Jordan would end up with. Her bff, Sam Henry, or this absolutely hot, new guy at school, Ty Green. I rooted for Ty in a millisecond, because he had all male lead qualities. It was wonderful to watch him and Jordan slowly finding together. But that was about it. Everything after their first kiss (which happened about in the middle of the novel) was just ugly to watch. Ty was a control freak and soon turned into someone not very likable. I think the author did this on purpose, or else the reader wouldn’t be ready to let go of Ty once it was time to. Because, he just wasn’t the right one.

What really put me off in this book - and yes, however good it was, there were two things - was
1. The use of sex. This is a high school romance, and though I know that at the age of 17 sex is quite common, I didn’t like how little respect the author had for this major event in every teenager’s life. Jordan had never kissed a boy in her life. Then Ty shows up, and when he kisses her, she’s willing to sleep with him the very instant. This just doesn’t work for me, and I think it’s giving the teenage audience the wrong view of what sex really should be like. However, it’s not my book, and everyone should get their own opinion on this.
And 2. There was one thing where I was like: Gosh, seriously?? It was when Jordan hit Henry in the last scene. A knock on his shoulder, okay. A slap upside his head, fine, if she must. But she punched his gut and also his jaw, which is totally out of character for her and made me shake my head.

There could have been a little less football talk; half of the stuff they did, I didn’t even begin to understand. But the book had amazing dialogue, very true to the characters and true to reality. What I had trouble to get used to at the beginning, was that this novel was written in present tense. I never liked that before. But reading on, I found that it totally worked for CATCHING JORDAN, and it inspired me to even try this style myself sometime.

And finally, I want to mention one last thing. The cover. It caught my attention in an instant. It’s perfect! Green is very appealing for YA. The author also chose models, who resemble her characters perfectly. Them walking toward the reader, with their heads cut off from view just works. In one line, I love this cover.

And I loved this book.(less)

Hmm. I am perplexed. I had a very difficult time believing the majority of this book. Let us start with the positives, shall we?

Jordan is one of the most kick ass quarterbacks in Tennessee. She is 6 feet tall, she has a cannon for an arm, she has the respect of her all-male teammates and her coach.

Jordan is one of the most kick ass quarterbacks in Tennessee. She is 6 feet tall, she has a cannon for an arm, she has the respect of her all-male teammates and her coach. They've ALL got this girl's back. She's a LEADER. And yet, she's got this group of guy friends with whom she's been thick as thieves for years. Can you imagine having a bunch of football players ready and waiting to kick anyone's ass that messes with you? Sure, things would get a little overly testosterone-y, but it's kind of sweet if you think about it. (Even if they are all horndogs. Seriously, it got to the point where I pictured pelvic thrusts and "SCHWING!" every time the guys mentioned a girl.)

Also, I love that her dad was an NFL player. AN NFL PLAYER FOR A DAD. That's incredible.

And they totally mention the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!)

But our straight-up jock, never-been-kissed and doesn't-have-the-slightest-idea-how main character abandons all hesitation when new, hot, one-dimensional Ty Green shows up on the field as her back-up quarterback. One day she's shying away from Ty's kisses to demanding his ownership of a condom the next. Which is totally fine with me, as a reader. I just feel like Jordan was not a very solid character. She didn't have any defining traits or personality, other than: she's a jock. After 280 pages, I like to feel like I KNOW a character. Especially when I'm reading from a first person point of view. But I don't know her at all.

The love triangle aspect wasn't bad. I mean, OBVIOUSLY I knew what was going to happen. Kenneally at least provided enough back story to Henry & Jordan's friendship to give me a couple warm fuzzies, but Jordan completely let herself be ruled by these boys. And LORD, she was naive. About so much. I don't care if her best friend is the spitting image of Johnny Depp circa Crybaby, the fact that he's put his coin roll into like, EVERY game at the arcade is not attractive. If you catch my drift.

All in all, there were some really cute parts in Catching Jordan, but this book did not work for me. I could not relate to many of the characters and unfortunately could not find a basis for establishing a relationship with any of them. Being a huge fan of Friday Night Lights, this was pretty devastating to me. I'm off to drown my sorrows into Coach & Tami Taylor's epic marriage now.

This book could be classified as many things. A wonderful tale about finding who you really are? Yes. A romance? Definitely. But a tug-at-your-heartstrings kind of book? Unfortunately, not all the way. I thought it was going to be a great book that was about just that, but in the end I was sadly mistaken.

A wonderful tale about finding who you really are? Yes. A romance? Definitely. But a tug-at-your-heartstrings kind of book? Unfortunately, not all the way. I thought it was going to be a great book that was about just that, but in the end I was sadly mistaken. It was so completely promising, until halfway through the book. That's where I started to not like the book, but it was still really good and would've been so much better except for a few things..

First, this cover is absolutely gorgeous and I was immediately drawn in by this book. Especially that caption, "There's no playbook for love." That was something that just jumped out and grabbed me the first time I saw it and refused to let go. And then I started reading, and was drawn in. The whole story of Jordan being considered just another boy was really intriguing to begin with. You don't really read a lot of books about a tomboy who finds love, so I think this was a really nice twist on your normal contemporaries.

One thing I admired about Jordan was her strength. Her dad doesn't support her, which I related to on infinite numbers of levels, and she managed to hold her own against Ty, and she's a quarterback of a boy's football team. She's survived for so long with only her team and her best friend on that team, Sam Henry, who goes by Henry. When Jordan actually gets two girl friends, Carrie and Maria (maybe Marie, can't remember :P), she's so unnerved by befriending them, until she realizes that girls—not the cheerleader stereotype—are like boys in a way, only a little more feminine.

As soon as Catching Jordan takes off, you meet Ty Green, this crazy-good football player, who's going to be jeopardizing Jordan's position as quarterback on the team. But Jordan develops this almost insta-crush on Ty and starts to get those "girl feelings" around a boy she likes: the sweaty palms, racing heartbeat, self-consciousness. I found that really relatable to Jordan, one of the few things, actually, having those experiences of having a crush on someone, a feeling that some authors don't really capture very well anymore in their books. :(

Catching Jordan was one of those books where everything romance-wise happened pretty fast. Ty and Jordan were kissing for the first time, and then they...um...did "it." I'm not specifying. Nope. Not a chance. Anyway, it went sort of fast and then when that infamous love triangle was introduced, with the best friend, Henry, the other option, Jordan realized that she loved Henry and that he was the one for her, right as Henry started to pull away from Jordan. So there was definitely some messed-up confusion in here.

For a really short book, a lot actually happened. It was a really heartwarming story about finding yourself, standing what for what you really believed in, and going after the guy who was really for you. But other than the fast pacing for the romance, I really didn't like the ending. I felt like there wasn't enough closure. It just depicted the start of Henry and Jordan's relationship, when you could've went further. And, Jordan never chose the right college that she wanted to go to. She was looking at options, but since college played a major part in this book, I was disappointed that Jordan never picked a real college and it left off at such a standpoint.(less)

Jordan Woods is the kickass starting quarterback at Hundred Oaks High. Jordan is also a girl. I loved that this isn't a "Jordan the girl against the school that doesn't want to give her a chance" book. No one at Hundred Oaks HS doubts her ability to throw the football and lead her team - not her coach, not her fellow players, not the parents in the stands. They support her fully, because she's a fantastic player and leader.

I loved that this isn't a "Jordan the girl against the school that doesn't want to give her a chance" book. No one at Hundred Oaks HS doubts her ability to throw the football and lead her team - not her coach, not her fellow players, not the parents in the stands. They support her fully, because she's a fantastic player and leader.

But all that support isn't enough, because Jordan has Daddy Issues. Her father is a professional quarterback, and her brother starts for his college team. Jordan feels like she's got a lot to live up to where football is concerned. The tragic truth is, her father, the one person she wants to impress, doesn't expect or want her to live up to his legacy. He makes excuses to miss her games, and not only treats Jordan and her football aspirations differently than he does her brother - he treats her differently than he does her own (male) teammates.

Carter, JJ and Sam are the backbone of Jordan's team, and her life. Sam, her best friend since childhood, doesn't expect to go to college. Like many rural Southern communities, theirs includes a sharp division of wealth. Jordan lives in a mansion while Sam lives in a trailer. The fact that this means nothing to either family was a nice change of pace, well-written and believable, as was their close friendship. As these four begin senior year, they have varied expectations about what happens next, but those expectations are about to be turned upside down.

The one thing Jordan's done without her whole life is a boyfriend. All that changes when Ty walks onto the field. Having just moved to town with his mother and sister, Ty plays football, too. His position? Take a guess. What's Jordan to do when she finds that the first real competitor for her slot as quarterback is also the first guy to make her speechless with his smiling good looks? And to make matters more complicated... she finally realizes that her best friend has harbored similar feelings for her for years - feelings that start pouring out the minute he has competition for his position next to the one girl he hasn't messed around with at HOHS.(less)

I got to say Catching Jordan was outrageously good for someone like me who's not really into sport novels. P.S. I can't wait for the companion novels of Catching Jordan.

I loved Jordan Woods, she was strong, talented, and unique. She is a girl, the only girl on a all guys football team at her high school, did I mention she's a quarterback and six-feet tall. All the guys on the team respect and listen to her when she gives out orders. She's focused and ready when

I consider myself a football connoisseur – and by connoisseur, I obvs mean, Friday Night Lights taught me well. I know everything a girl needs to know.

I know everything a girl needs to know. Like how awesome the player’s bodies are under all that useless uniform and that sometimes they might need a rub down after a long hard game. I even know positions (bahaha I’m not even sorry).But this, this is SHIT compared to the bad assness that is Jordan Woods.

So Jordan isn’t your usual girl. She doesn’t like fancy smelling hair goo and high heels and pretty sparkling dresses that elongate your legs and glittery body lotion. NAH. She laughs at what makes girls weep. Jordan is a complete and utter BAMF. Not only does she get to hang around with all these uber fit uber hot hottie mchotterson football players, NO! She is part of the team! NAY! She’s the female QB1! And the CAPTAIN!

But then Ty swans on into town with his smexy face and melt ur pants bod and Jordan is like HEY NOW, let’s get physical physical, I wanna get physical.And I’m like HELL YEAH! LET’S ALL GET PHYSICAL.TOGETHER.IN THE BOYS LOCKER ROOM. PANTS ARE OPTIONAL.And by optional I mean leave them at the door.

If I met Jordan I would totes give her a high five! Or maybe a low five considering she’s over 6 foot and I prolly wouldn’t be able to reach. Because finally! She is the girl protagonist I didn’t even know I was looking for! You know, I would kind of compare it to how I felt the other day, when I found a bottle of wine under my bed that I didn’t even know I had and it was the BEST FEELING EVER. This is how I felt reading this book, like I had stumbled upon something I didn’t even realize that I wanted or needed and it was like YAY IN MY HEART.

Getting serious here, this is a book that I think will resonate a LOT with teenage girls who may be struggling or dealing with gender discrimination. Because Jordan plays football a hell of a lot better than the guys on her team and she is wicked smart and strong, but even though she may get treated by her OWN team as one of the guys, she’s not actually “one of the guys” because she don’ts got no penis. And reading her deal with sad making remarks from dick face guys was like infuriating, but Jordan was just like oh HELL NO, I will kick you right in your balls, and you can’t reciprocate! Because I don’t gots non suckas!! And I was fistpumping. For all the tom boys out there.

Adversity? MEET JORDAN’S BOOBS YOU WANK FACE.

I SAID BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNN IT’S HOT IN HERE, THERE MUST A HOT GUY IN THE ATMOSPHERE. Which in non Carla terms means sexytimes. SEXYTIMES. And they are adorably awkward and weird and hot and OMG ALL JUST TAKE OFF UR CLOTHES AND GET TO THE GOOD STUFF. This is why YA books are the best for those who like non graphic sexytimes. Because you’re not going to get thrown out of the hotness with words like thrust and *GAG* moist *YUCK*, no it’s all just let’s tease and tease you with the sexy stuff and then when they finally have some horizontal naked fun we won’t write ridiculous words like moist.

So in conclusion, I lubbbbbbbbbed this book! The writing was fresh and snappy and real – very much character driven. And it was developed and raw and eye opening. All of the characters seemed like they had spent a good deal of time in Kinnealy’s head before she spewed them out of her brain into her book. It was just brilliantly realistic and funny. I’ve not even named my favourite character, you’ll have to read the book to find out. But let’s just say that with blond curly hair, green eyes and a top notch bod, I am now wishing I bought stocks in pants, because mine have all spontaneously burst into flames. CURSE YOU MIRANDA!(less)

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 Greeen moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly

So, basically, that means I loved Catching Jordan (not as much as I love Friday Night Lights but to be fair, it may be impossible to beat that love).

Jordan is the quarterback for her high school team, and is the top quarterback in Tennessee despite being a girl. She dreams of going to Alabama to play for their college team, but starts to get distracted as she deals with Ty (a new hot boy that joins the team and is also a quarterback) and Henry, her long time best friend.

The only thing that irritated me a tiny bit was that Jordan always assumed that colleges viewed her on the same playing field as the men they were recruiting - and assumed that any school that signed her would let her play as quarterback. I'm all for girl power, and loved reading about a girl being great in a mainly male sport, but I feel like she was a little too naive about how big of a deal it would be for a girl to be a starting quarterback at a division I school. I just asked my husband if he knows of any high school girl quarterbacks that had been recruited to a college team and he gave me a solid no - so while there may be an instance of this we are not aware of, it seems more realistic that a girl in Jordan's position may consider more of how big of a deal it would be and not just assume she'd be a starting quarterback.

I apologize for that little rant :) It really didn't take much away from my positive experience with the book, so please don't let that deter you. Jordan's relationships with her dad and best friend and teammates are much more important and what I enjoyed reading about the most.

The football topic may deter some readers, but there are only a few terms that are strictly football that may confuse someone not familiar with the topic. And the book isn't spent in the midst of football games - like I said, it really is more about Jordan's life with football as the main thread.

Excellent contemporary - I was not disappointed. I have been looking forward to reading this one for months and am so glad I liked it so much :)(less)

I know! That is a massive compliment because of how much I adore ‘Anna’, but I really thought the tone of 'Catching Jordan' was quite similar. The other main comparison I can make easily is with ‘Friday Night Lights’, which just happens to be one of my favourite TV shows ever. How these two are similar is because even though this book is about football, it’s mainly about Jordan figuring out who she is and what she wants. Football is a big part of who she is, but it’s not really the book’s main focus.

So, Jordan. Jordan is one of the coolest main characters I’ve read about in a long while. She seriously cracked me up because she was a total tomboy and the way she said things sometimes was just so not like a typical girl. But then she also had all these thoughts about guys, and she was just so down to earth and relatable. Most importantly she had inner strength: she knew her worth and wouldn’t let people put her down or control her.

I don’t want to say too much about the romance, because it’s kind of twisty turny getting there, but let’s just say that it’s AWESOME. Epic, amazing, awesome. I loved Jordan’s relationship with her best friend, with her family, and with all her football teammates. All of the relationships were so complex, and they just felt real. I liked how there was the stereotypical bitchy cheerleader, but also awesome fun cheerleaders who Jordan gets to know and realizes what she’s been missing by only having guy friends.

If I had to name one issue I had with this book it would be the promiscuity of the football players, especially one guy in particular. Does it happen in real life? Yeah, probably. But it felt weird to me that everyone seemed okay with it, even the really cool girls who seemed to have a good handle on their self-worth. It just seemed to be swept under the rug too easily. But did that issue impede my overall enjoyment of the book? No, definitely not.

This is the first book in forever that I’ve been so giddy over. I’ve been looking forward to reading it for so long, so I had to read it as soon as I got my copy from Netgalley. From the synopsis I knew I would enjoy this book. I thought it might be cute and fun, and it was, but it was also much more than that. I didn’t expect to adore the characters as much as I did, and I didn’t expect so much self-examination from Jordan. ‘Catching Jordan’ is a book that will surprise you with its depth. If you are at all a fan of contemporaries or contemporary romance, you must add ‘Catching Jordan’ to the top of your list. I'm so glad I read it, and I've already ordered a copy for myself.(less)

Anytime you are in the mood for a fun YA read I highly recommend this one. Miranda Kenneally's debut novel makes me long for a plate full of nachos and some cute boys playing football!

Jordan is a pretty fierce girl. She's captain of the football team (as well as quarterback) and she can hold her own with the guys. They don't intimidate her (although some of the cheerleaders do.) She definitely has some flaws though. She doesn't see some of the things that are right in front of her face. And she really starts to want things when she can't have them. I also felt that she didn't always take other people's feelings into account. She thought only of herself for quite a while.

Now there is quite a bit of a love triangle (you're blind if you don't see it coming from the beginning) but it's one of the better love triangles in YA books. Both Henry and Ty are great guys, just very different. Ty is a little needy but also a little demanding. However he's a total sweetheart who cares deeply for his family. Henry is kind of a player but it's clear to see that he does it because he wants to be with Jordan and can't. He's very torn. I was definitely Team Henry. He's impossible not to love but Ty did appeal to me too.

The best part of Catching Jordan is the friendship aspect. Jordan may not know it but she has a lot of friends. The guys on the football team would do anything for her. They all see her as their best friend even though she's a girl. They just think of her as a more delicate guy. As for the girls, they see her either as a threat (like some of the cheerleaders) or as someone to look up to. She's also very loved by her family even though she doesn't always see it.

Disclaimer: I am not a football fan. I like some sports but football has never been one of the ones that I enjoy. However I great enjoyed the games and practices in Catching Jordan. Everything I needed to know was explained but not overdone. And it wasn't all about football. =)

Overall, Catching Jordan is a must-read for contemporary fans. This is one that I will definitely be re-reading in the future!(less)

I'll start off by saying this, I enjoyed going to football games in high school but do I watch it on tv? Nope. I think it was more about knowing the football players, right? I'm not really a sports girl even though I tend to like reading about them, at least in YA novels.
