About this listen
When softball star Liv Rodinsky throws one ill-advised punch during the most important game of the year, she loses her scholarship to her fancy private school, her boyfriend, and her teammates all in one fell swoop. With no other options, Liv is forced to transfer to the nearest public school, Northland, where she'll have to convince its coach she deserves a spot on the softball team, all while facing both her ex and the teammates of the girl she punched... Every. Single. Day.
Enter Grey, the injured star quarterback with amazing hair and a foolproof plan: if Liv joins the football team as his temporary replacement, he'll make sure she gets a spot on the softball team in the spring. But it will take more than just a flawless spiral for Liv to find acceptance in Northland's halls, and behind that charismatic smile, Grey may not be so perfect after all.
With well-drawn characters and a charming quarterback love interest who's got brains as well as brawn, Throw Like a Girl will have readers swooning from the very first page.
Critic reviews
Praise for Throw Like a Girl:"Liv's major obstacle is learning to forgive and trust again: the family who doesn't respect her decisions; the teammates who keep secrets; the boyfriend with an agenda; and above all, her own flawed, complicated, driven, triumphant self. This charming sports story reflects classic tropes of the genre while still feeling fresh and relevant. A winner."—Kirkus Reviews
"Determination and grit mixed perfectly with sass and humor on every turn of the page. With mistakes come lessons, and this story tells it in a way that everyone can relate to."—Abbi Glines, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"[Sarah] Henning offers up a scrappy contemporary debut in the vein of Morgan Matson. Sports fans and romance lovers unite--there's plenty to satisfy both teams here."—Booklist
This book was one of my favourite contemporaries I've read, and it isn't usually a genre I love, so I'd highly recommend it to everyone! The characters are so well developed which is what really made the book great and the romance feel real (this was very important to me as it's the main plot). Liv is so sweet but also determined and works so hard to get what she wants. Grey is so encouraging and also determined, they were really perfect for each other and I loved all their moments together. There were a lot of other side characters who were all also developed really well, none of them were forgettable. I would love to be friends with them all!
I loved the plot as well, sport romances are my favourite and this is a perfect sport romance. Although I have no idea what softball is or how American football is played I could still follow everything that was happening very easily and found myself rooting for Liv and Grey. I loved seeing them progress towards completing their goals and how they handled everything that got in the way. The ending was perfect as well and nothing felt rushed or forced.
I could honestly see this book being turned into a Netflix movie as it would fit in so well with the others on there. So if you love contemporary romances or teen romance movies you'll definitely love this!
Also this was an amazing audiobook, the narrator was incredible!
I loved it!
