"Readers of this teen novel will appreciate its realistic and witty
dialogue as they navigate its tightly packed plot." - Kirkus
Reviews
"Kenneally has hit a home run! She uses a deft hand to deal with
big issues: a complex sexual dynamic, a volatile family situation
and a crisis of faith. Solidly developed and lovable characters, a
complex plot and some humor make this a great read. With all the
romance-based YA out there, Kenneally definitely stands apart." -

destination, delighting us with tension while also sometimes
cruelly playing with our fragile hearts to keep us coiled tight the

eagerly anticipating what romantic roller coaster she'll take me on
next." - Supernatural Snark

me laughing one minute and crying the next." - My Keeper Shelf
"What football is to Catching Jordan, baseball is to Stealing
Jordan. One of the things I really enjoy about Miranda's books is
the way she mixes together sports, with first crushes, those
"fabulous" teen high school years, and the message she conveys in
her books. . . .This is a fabulous companion to Catching Jordan,
and much like it's predecessor I think fans will laugh, swoon a few
times and find something relatable about it's main character." -
