I really loved Catching Jordan when I read it but I must admit I can't relate to her that much since I'm probably the most unathletic person you'll ever meet. But I guess it was quite nice for me to experience something through a book :) Lovely review, Alexa.<br /><br />-Ariella @ <a href="http://secretsoflostwords.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Secrets of Lost Words</a>Ariella Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772910740352122680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-52548985405741050442013-04-10T10:57:56.463-04:002013-04-10T10:57:56.463-04:00This really was a great book!

I am not at all "one of the guys" either (I will WATCH sports with them, but have never been athletic enough to actually throw a football!), but I love reading about Jordan's close relationships with her teammates as well as her struggle to connect with other girls her age. Great review. Stealing Parker is great too; I think I liked it even more than Catching Jordan.

I loved it and the best part is definitely the dynamics between the friends and teammates. I also loved the humor in it that part with the baby had me laughing so hard I hard to put the book down.

Jordan sounds like someone I can relate to in a lot of ways! I was never QUITE as into sports but especially after high school, I was totally one of the guys. Aside from my college roommates and some close friends, it was just easier to get along with guys (and more fun haha) - Even still, I hang out with my boyfriend and his friends and I barely see my girlfriends anymore. It's just kidn of how life worked out! <br />Definitely interested in picking this one up!

I'm glad to hear you liked it overall, Alexa. The sports theme might not sit too well with me, but I like the sound of it otherwise.

I think, in retrospect, she threw too much into that CJ and the storyline was thin. Keep on going. I urge you!!! In a nice way, of course.Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173717120884471137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-2668737384601615382013-04-09T01:19:18.779-04:002013-04-09T01:19:18.779-04:00This is the first review I've read on this one...This is the first review I've read on this one, and while I am also not one of the guys, I like the sounds of Jordan.

That ultimately gave me pause although I did find the writing very easy to go through and I can see why it's so popular.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.com
