This week's prompt is.......

RECOMMEND A BOOK WITH A CHARACTER WHO PLAYS A SPORT

As soon as I read this prompt, this is the book that immediately came to my mind!

This is one of those fun, sort of light-hearted reads that leaves you smiling at the end.  Although it did have more substance than I thought it would have at first.  You can read my review here.

I'm very excited about Miranda Kenneally's next book, which is also sports-related.

Parker Shelton pretty much has the perfect life. She’s on her way to becoming valedictorian at Hundred Oaks High, she’s made the all-star softball team, and she has plenty of friends. Then her mother’s scandal rocks their small town and suddenly no one will talk to her.

Now Parker wants a new life.

So she quits softball. Drops twenty pounds. And she figures why kiss one guy when she can kiss three? Or four. Why limit herself to high school boys when the majorly cute new baseball coach seems especially flirty?

But how far is too far before she loses herself completely?

This book will be available from Sourcebooks Fire on October 1, 2012
