Courtside Crush by Kayla Tirrell
Charlie’s boyfriend cheated on her with a cheerleader, and what did she do about it? She did what any girl would do. She got revenge. But, it didn’t work out like she’d hoped. She was caught on video keying his car.
She gets eight weeks of community service and athletic probation right before basketball season starts up. Not to mention she might lose her chance of being captain and getting a scholarship to college.
Her luck starts looking up a tiny bit when she meets Jackson at Marlowe Junction’s Helping Hands. He makes her community service seem not so bad. She falls for him. He has the good looks and is a huge basketball fan. What more does the girl need to fall for him?
Only bad thing is, Jackson is her brother’s biggest enemy. What will happen when he finds out?
In the beginning of this book, I really got the whole Carrie Underwood “Before He Cheats” vibes. I love how the main character seems tough, but is sweet and soft too.
This book honestly reminded me many times why I love reading. Between the wonderful Jackson, all the conflict between Charlie and her ex-boyfriend, and figuring out what to do about all her issues, this book definitely kept me intrigued the whole way through.
I, for one, am I big fan of books with great siblings and Charlie and Preston were great.
Preston is obsessed with winning the Senior Year Rematch, which is the big basketball game against Pinewood—Jackson’s school.
I loved how Jackson took some major needed action towards the end. He is definitely a swoon worthy book boyfriend.
You better get yourself a copy to find out what happens when Jackson wants to be official but Charlie doesn’t know what to do!
I am most likely to get a paperback copy as well for my bookshelf. I will definitely commend this book for anyone who wants a cute, sweet, slightly edgy and romantic clean YA read.
For my content part of my review, there were a few uses of the word “crap” but besides that there was no foul language or anything inappropriate. Definitely a clean read and good for most any age.
Also, I don’t know ANYTHING about basketball and I understood the few basketball scenes perfectly! No need to worry about getting lost if you don’t know much about the sport.
This book was kindly given to me by the author.
