Hey guys, I am back with a new review! I will be reviewing "Catching Jordan". First let me tell you that I loved this book so much! Miranda Kenneally is a great writer and is one of my new favorite authors. I started this book yesterday and finished it today. Normally it takes me a week to read a book, but I read this so fast because I loved it! I haven't heard much hype about this book. I found it on Amazon and I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. I'm so glad I finally picked it up! Let's get on with my review:

Plot(backcover):

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 Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing quarterback, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?

My Thoughts:

Okay like I said before I loved this book! This book is so amazing I can't stop thinking about it. This book made me so happy and everything turned out exactly how I wanted  it to be. This book is about a seventeen year old girl named Jordan. She is a tomboy and is the leader of her school's football team. She is very successful and wants to play football in college. Her dad is a famous football player, and so is her brother. But her father doesn't want her to play football because she's a girl. Jordan doesn't think there's anything wrong with her playing on the guys team. All the guys respect her and treat her well. So everything is going fine in her life, until the new guy, Tyler (Ty) moves to her school. He is hot and he's the first guy Jordan's attracted to. She's never had a boyfriend before. The problem is, Ty's an awesome quarterback but the position's taken by Jordan. She's scared he's going to steal her spot on the team. Soon she becomes good friends with him and crushes on him. Eventually they date which makes Jordan's best friend Sam Henry mad. Jordan and Sam have been best friends for ten years. Sam always had feelings for Jordan but she never knew until his ex-girlfriend told her. After that Sam ignores Jordan and stays away from her for a while. Why? Mostly because he's jealous of Ty and he hates Ty. Who does Jordan choose? Will she get the scholarship she's been wanting for years?

Sorry I dragged out the plot so much. Here's my opinion. I loved this book so much! I didn't think I would like it because I hate football. Really, I hate it. The book was so good though. I loved Jordan. She was such a strong and unique character. She didn't let people push her around and didn't give up her dream no matter what. She's a tomboy which is very different to read about. She has a close relationship with her family, which I liked. Family is so important. At first, I hated her father. He didn't support her at all, and treated her badly. He never even came to one of her games, but he goes to all her brother's games. By the end of the book, he accepted Jordan's passion and he cheers her on. I'm glad he changed for the better. I loved all of Jordan's guy friends. They are all on the team with her. They are not cocky or shallow. They all care about Jordan and stand up for her. I loved Sam the most. Oh my! He was such a good guy! He's so sweet, caring and everything you could want in a guy. I felt so bad for him when Jordan was dating Ty. It was so obvious that he likes her, and she never knew. I am so glad she chose him at the end. I love him so much!
As for Ty, I hated him. I didn't like him at all. In the beginning I thought he was okay but I just don't like him. He was so controlling to everyone on the team. When he dates Jordan he was very controlling. I thought he was kind of a jerk. He hated Sam because he's so close to Jordan. Really, I hated him. When Jordan dated him I wanted to yell" Dump him already!!" Seriously, I hated him. I am so happy she finally dumped him and went back to Sam. Okay, I felt bad for Ty because of his family. I just didn't like him. If you read the book, you'll know why I hated him. She really deserved a great guy and Sam was perfect for her. The ending made me so happy! I love how she actually ends up with her best guy friend who was always there for her, instead of the new hot guy. In most novels the girl chooses the new guy instead of her guy friend she's known for years. Yes, I am obsessed with this book. It needs hype!! If you love books with romance, friendship, family and dreams then I recommend this book for you. Buy, borrow? Buy this book now! It's too good to borrow, you need to buy this book now! This book was amazing. I have Miranda's newest book "Racing Savannah" on my shelf and will be reading it. Like I said, one of my new favorite books so buy this book now!

Also I will be starting "Awaken" soon. That's it for today, bye!
