Not only is he an amazing QB, 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? Paperback , pages. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up.

Lists with This Book. Nov 17, Giselle rated it it was amazing Shelves: What did I think of Catching Jordan? There is just so much I could say about this book. It has romance, humor, love, loss, friendship, family - it has something for absolutely everyone. Even if you aren't into sports - like me - or know nothing about football - like me - don't even hesitate to pick it up. This is a masterpiece written by a brilliant mastermind that you Can.

Now, let's start with Jordan. Our dear wonderful Jordan who is over six feet tall, plays football and is considered "one of the guys" is completely loveable and such a sweetheart. She may be a tomboy, but she has the same teenage angst and emotions as any other girl. She wants to talk about her recent crush, vent about not being supported by her dad, and someone to teach her how she's supposed to kiss. I connected with Jordan immediately - she made me laugh and cry.

She made me feel her heart flutter and then break. This was a definite emotional ride that I won't soon forget! The romance is absolutely swoon-worthy. The chemistry in Catching Jordan is phenomenal. Not just the love chemistry either. A connection is deeply felt between all of the characters: It's all so incredibly well-written with charisma floating off the pages that you'll see these people come alive.

This is the first book I've read that has made me laugh to the point of tears I'm so glad I wasn't in public and now that it's over, my heart is so filled that I desperately want to hug this book, marry it, and have it's babies! Catching Jordan is not simply a love story. It's so so so much more; It's about going for your dreams, overcoming obstacles and never giving up believing they will happen. You will undoubtedly finish this book with a smile on your face!

Ha-haa, what a fun way to spend the evening. This book was amazingly cute, and the characters too adorable for words. F Last page impression: From Jordan and Henry, to JJ, Carter, Ty and the girls, and even the family members — they were all so great that I wished for them to be part of my life. They filled my day with their jokes and their joy and for a moment, between laughs, they made me miss my old friends from high school. Anyways, I really liked her.

She had this optimism like an aura around her words, and even with all her insecurities and her problems she seemed to know where she was standing and she seemed to be enjoying her life. And I was like: Because we all make mistakes. I wanted to stuck him and Jordan in a room for 7 minutes even though they need more than 7 to figure out what was wrong with them. Anyways, I liked how Henry supported Jordan with everything, even when supporting her was breaking his heart. He was a good friend.. But at the end he was cute again, thanks god! Yes, there was a bit of a tragedy there, I understand that, but he was too much of a drama queen for my taste.

The fact is that he remained a mystery to me, and not one that I wanted to uncover. They were awesome and cute, and they had their own moments to star in the story and I laughed like crazy at their jokes. The dialogue was realistic and fun, and they made me want to know more about them e. Also, helping Ty and his family was so nice of them.

I didn't like the immaturity of Jordan's character why does she fall apart with the look of one cute guy? The more I think about it, the less I liked it. Bottomline, I really didn't connect with the characters and the more I think about it, I didn't care much for them or the story development. View all 13 comments.

Jun 11, Megan rated it did not like it Shelves: Catching Jordan does not do justice to the YA genre, lurve triangles, college football or girls who aspire to play traditional "boy" sports. For a better, I mean completely different league better, book about a girl who plays football, pick up Dairy Queen and forget this one. In Dairy Queen , protagonist DJ Schwenk struggles with the reality of a girl playing a tough, physical boy sport.

She deals with different degrees of acceptance. She balances her hopes, dreams and the realities of her situa Catching Jordan does not do justice to the YA genre, lurve triangles, college football or girls who aspire to play traditional "boy" sports. She balances her hopes, dreams and the realities of her situation. Not only is her dad a NFL hero, but in college he was a two-time Heisman trophy winner. The man who happens to be the only real life two time Heisman winner, and an alumni of The Ohio State University!

On that note, author Miranda Kenneally clearly has a beef with Ohio State P At any rate Her dad is a football hero. Her brother is doing quite well in college ball. And Jordan herself has been her town's star quarterback since she was in grade school. So it is accepted that she is a kick ass football player, despite being a girl.

Girls can do anything boys can do. But physically girls simply don't measure up. So while a girl may be able to compete with some guys, in the end guys are bigger, have more muscle mass and therefore more strength. Yet Jordan seems to think that she has a shot at winning a full football scholarship at a Division I-A football school. Do you know how very difficult that is? For talented football playing boys??? Let alone a girl? She says she loves football and wants to play football But why must she go to the best of the best? To compete in a sport in which girls can't possibly compete?

What the fuck is wrong with going to a smaller school? Do you know how many high school kids may be hometown or even statewide heroes and have to make the heartbreaking decision between accepting a scholarship to a Division I-A school and probably not getting field time because of the talent and the competition When boys, talented boys, are faced with this decision So many high school stars simply fizzle out when it comes to college ball.

And the transition from college to NFL is an even greater one. In so many ways, it is an entirely different game. As for the lurve aspect Jordan was shallow, the story line was unrealistic. Lurve triangle at its worst. Sorry, but there was nothing redeemable or enjoyable about this story.

I was really looking forward to reading and falling head over heels for Catching Jordon. The reviews were looking positive, my book club was enjoying this, and I was getting the whole D. Schwenk vibe just by reading the book jacket.

But after finishing this book, the score is Dairy Queen 5 stars, Catching Jordon 3 stars. Jordon also has a great chance at making full scholarship with Alabama, and her football stats have never looked better. But, that all changes when Tyler Green walks on the field and threatens to steal her position and heart faster than she can pass the football to her wide receiver. There were a few reasons I had a hard time falling for this book.

First and foremost, I felt character confusion. Also, I was never quite sure if I was suppose to fall for Ty, but there was just something about him that left me feeling cold about this character. None of them stood out to me to any significant degree. Next, I was bothered by the way Pop Warner Football and Cheerleaders in general were portrayed in this book.

Too many stereotypes and misconceptions were thrown out there for me to just let it slide. Lastly, I don't like it when characters use physical force to get their point across That just rubs me the wrong way. Just not cute or funny. Overall, the concept was great and I liked the whole theme of girl football player trying to beat the odds in addition to the teenage concepts as they relate to friendship, loyalty and first love… All very promising, but when the final play was delivered I sort of let my poms poms fall to the floor feeling disappointed in the story.

First of all, I wanna make it very clear that in this corner of the world, whenever you say football you're talking about this baby: However, I must admit that after watching the entire five seasons of Friday Night Lights I've grown fond of american football even if I still have no clue how to play it.

I'm not sure if the first installm First of all, I wanna make it very clear that in this corner of the world, whenever you say football you're talking about this baby: I'm not sure if the first installment in the Hundred Oaks series filled my expectations, though.

There's no much here. I enjoy reading these stories because I'll never understand how this college thing works in the States. Here we've got it too easy I think, so it's difficult for me to imagine the struggle kids go through in their final year of high school. Jordan not only loves football but has the privilege of being the team leader of the most unique bunch of guys ever with the pressure of getting a scholarship. I had fun reading Catching Jordan because the writing is simple and I was absorbed in the familiarity of the characters.

For the first half of this book, I'm all in. And when I say the first half, I mean Henry. They are so sweet and adorable together. And I think the story works for me because of their friendship, the history they share, the anecdotes, the banter and silly games. They're pretty much Barney and Robin! When it comes to love triangles, I'd rather step on a lego. Yet, this was not the case. I'm no Sherlock but I think the resolution was very clear since the very beginning so it did bothered me how much time it took Jordan to realize not what she had to do but when to do it.

I'm too old for the angsty shit. I really liked the way sex isn't the Holy Grail in Jordan's life. I loved the relationship between Jordan and her teammates. It was great to see her surrounded by a supporting family even if dad took his time to do it. I did like that Jordan finds two girl friends in the end. I didn't like how she treated those girls in the beginning the same way I didn't like how the book portrayed cheerleaders, as stupid, shallow or mean.

I've never seen a cheerleader in my life but I guess the stereotype is what bothers me.

What can I say, I can relate to this book Yes people, there are girls out there that play football. And yes, they're good. I was starting right tackle and middle linebacker for my team leading in tackles and sacks.

    I guess what bothers me about some of the reviews is they're bashing the book for being unrealistic. Can a girl play football? Is it likely a girl could quarter back for a D-1 school? The class of literature comprising works of imaginative narration, especially in prose form. Works of this class, as novels or short stories: Something feigned, invented, or imagined; a made-up story: We've all heard the fiction of her being in delicate health. The act of feigning, inventing, or imagining.

    Isn't reading improbable or unlikely situations what makes reading fun? Standing at almost 5'll myself, growing up an undoubtable tom-boy, loving sports, and having more guy friends than girl friends makes me feel a kinship to Jordan. I have personally lived alot of what she went through so let me tell you what is real about this story. The bond between teammates is something only an athlete can understand; it's a family.

    In Catching Jordan that bond is wonderfully portrayed. I loved her friendships with her teammates!

    They constantly have Jordan's back and are always taking care of her. On the other end of the spectrum you have the girls. Most girls are quite catty when it comes to other girls that make them feel threatened. Jordan gets a lot of attention from playing football and has a bond with the guys that the other girls don't. They are jealous and petty; constantly giving Jordan a hard time.

    However, there are two very refreshing exceptions to that rule in this book. It's not Jordan's fault that she relates more to the guys than girls. Past experiences have lead her to completely shut the same sex out; she feels like they're all the same. It's nice to see her get out of her comfort zone and give a few of them a chance. I adored everything about Catching Jordan especially Sam Henry.

    I get ridiculously giddy and excited when it comes to life-long friendships between the opposite sex. I fell head-over-heels in love with the relationship between Sam and Jordan. However, I wasn't a huge fan of Ty. Partly because I'm not a fan of love triangles and partly because he was such a complete weeny! I just wanted to smack him! Jordan overcomes so much in this book; she's driven and passionate which makes it easy to like her.

    You learn that she likes "guy stuff", despises being a "girly-girl" and gets along better with the opposite sex. Just because she doesn't act like a girl doesn't mean she doesn't have the heart of a girl! View all 11 comments. Jun 21, Wendy Darling rated it did not like it Shelves: Honestly, for a much cuter, much funnier, much more poignant, non-shallow version of this story, try Dairy Queen. Plus, there are cows! View all 4 comments. Such a great comfort book for rainy days like today here.

    I looked at Catching Jordan with my "snarky eyes" - if there is such a thing - for a good part of it, to be honest. First of all, a girl playing football?! How can you write a book about a girl playing football after DJ Schwenk in Dairy Queen and not expect to be mercilessly subjected to comparison with that winning series? Ok, the plots differ but, at the end of the day, they're both about the coming of age of two girls chasing their dr Such a great comfort book for rainy days like today here.

    Ok, the plots differ but, at the end of the day, they're both about the coming of age of two girls chasing their dreams. Surprisingly, Catching Jordan is far from unmemorable, in my opinion. What makes it stand out from the mass of mediocrity and triteness? Two things worked particularly well for me: Jordan can definitely shake hands and go eat some wings with DJ, rest assured.

    Ok, she is probably the most oblivious girl ever to walk the planet in a few millennia in matters of the heart but, aside from that, her voice is real, funny, honest and even though I am not sure I can relate to a teen quarterback, she's one of those characters that are instantly likable, if only for the fact that she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Plus, she's one of those girls that feel more comfortable hanging out with guys rather than with girls and with that I can totally relate. Ok, let me clear my voice now Ty looks like Chace Crawford?

    This guy can easily compete for the swoon-worthy crush title any day of the year, as far as I'm concerned I haven't liked a male teen character this much since Tucker Avery in Unearthly.

    But if you feel that might not be enough for you, let me assure you this book is also freaking hilarious. It's fun, fun, fun. Relaxing, refreshing, obviously light, there might have been a passage or two involving a fake baby that had me stifling my laughter not to wake the kids. Of course it's also not perfect. Still, I am sure this book will see a lot of readers satisfied and entertained; just look at the ratings.

    Don't let yourself be misled by the footballish theme because, even though it is, in fact, about playing ball, it never gets too much or too technical. For this review and more check out The Nocturnal Library. Oct 08, Irena rated it liked it. My dear friend Jasmin and I decided it was about time for us to do another buddy read together and Catching Jordan was the book we chose was the perfect choice, because we always buddy read YA or NA contemporary. Catching Jordan is the first book in Hundred Oaks series and it follows Jordan and her friends who play football or like I prefer to call it, American rugby, because you know, us people from Europe prefer another sport called football.

    Jordan is a Quarterback, the captain of her team My dear friend Jasmin and I decided it was about time for us to do another buddy read together and Catching Jordan was the book we chose was the perfect choice, because we always buddy read YA or NA contemporary. Jordan is a Quarterback, the captain of her team and — a girl. Yes, guys, you read it right. She is one badass girl who plays rugby better then any guy in her team, she is the only female member of her team and she is one of the guys.

    As a result, her best friends are all guys, they appreciate her, and watch her back in a way. Even though at first it sounds pretty unbelievable that a girl could be so much better then guys at sports, especially if you consider the fact that the female body is naturally builted weaker then male, there are things explained in this book. Jordan comes from family of sport champions. Her father is great Alan Woods, one of the best rugby players in America. Her brother also plays rugby professionally, and she is bigger then other girls. She is just a big girl. Jordan has a dream to play rugby professionally and to go to study to Alabama where all the best rugby players go.

    She wants to be looked at equally as men. This book talks a lot about sexism and how hard it is for women to be appreciated equally as men even if they are as good or even better then them. Jordan was an interesting character but I wasn't fond of her. Don't get me wrong, being a tomboy myself, I had nothing against her manly behaviour except in times when it went too far. What I didn't like about her was that she was supposed to represent feminists when in reality she wasn't feminist, not at all!

    The reason I'm saying that is because she more then few times brang down cheerleaders just because they had an interest in make up. She put them all in the same box, labeled them as stupid and thought she was better then them just because they liked girly stuff. I know one of them did her wrong in the past, but still, I think Jordan's behaviour said more about her then about any of those cheerleaders.

    This book is good, funny and easy to read in general. I enjoyed reading about Jordan's relationship with her friends. JJ was my favorite. Henry is her best friend who has a habit to spend nights in her bed. Her parents are fully aware of that but they approve it. Let me ask you one thing: What kind of parenting is that?? They know she has no interest in Harry. The only precaution they did is to say that Jordan and Harry can't sleep head to head, but have to sleep head to legs. Yeah, like that's gonna stop teenagers from doing anything!

    Don't forget we're talking about minors, teenagers full of hormones. Maybe I took it too harsh, but I just can't get over that aspect of the story. I didn't like it, not at all! There's also one more thing third to be precise thing I didn't like: She hit Harry so hard that his jaw cracked, and she laughed about it, along with him. If the similar thing happened with roles versed, if guy hit a girl, that would be women abuse, but when the girl hits a guy it supposed to be funny?

    I don't think so! I feel like I'm in minority here, but I actually liked Ty. I think he was right most of the times and everytime Jordan had problems with his behaviour, I was on his side. Of course he had problems with his girlfriend sleeping in the same bed with another guy. As you can clearly see from m y review, I had more then few problems with the story but I am still glad I read it and, believe it or not, I actually had a good time reading it. I would like to read next book in the series because it follows different characters and I am curious to see whether I'll like that one better.

    Read this and more reviews on my blog: My friend had told me: I hated it - it was so bad. Well, jokes on her, because I read it anyways and actually quite enjoyed it. It was definitely not what I had expected from the blurb, and yes, it did kind of read like a Wattpad story which it was , so but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. In the long run, it did have a good message, and I loved how the main character was so self-empowering and independent.

    I was skimming through all the positive reviews of this book and kept wondering if I read the same book. I loved the cover, it totally drew me to the book and even though I thought the premise sounded a little silly I wanted to read it. I think guys should be guys and girls should be girls.

    But, I think girls should also be feminine, should be respected and treated like ladies. I wish I could have liked Jordan more, which is one I was skimming through all the positive reviews of this book and kept wondering if I read the same book. I wish I could have liked Jordan more, which is one of the reasons I kept reading. Jordan was just such a boy. Not a tomboy, but a boy. She acted like a guy, cussed like a guy, and did just about everything like a guy. Sure, when hot Ty comes around she wants to be a little more girly, and even makes a couple girl friends, but at the end of the day she was still pretty boyish.

    I was really disappointed that she started sleeping with Ty. It was kind of gross actually. What I also thought was sad was that no one actually respected Jordan. Yes, they appreciated her football skills and treated her like one of the guys. Which was part of my problem; they treated her like a guy not a girl. Even if he was just kidding. Ty was okay, but I never really felt like I got to know him. Once they hooked up he kind of disappears from the story, even though they were still sleeping together…I mean dating.

    I know Henry was supposed to be our hero, but I thought he was a creep to. To help sooth his broken heart he sleeps with every girl that looks his way. I thought the writing was okay. I liked that there was more conversation than inner dialog, even if the dialog felt unnatural at times. I liked that Jordan had a goal and was doing all she could to achieve it. Leave out all the swearing and sex and I probably would have given this a 4 star rating. Is it to be a strong girl you have to give up all feminine qualities and act like a guy? Lots of casual sex although no details.

It's not that this story is really that interesting, it's not. I honestly can't tell you why this group of characters and plot line have stayed in my head for the past four years. I'm not even sure this book had a meaningful impact on me at the time. I mean 15 was a time where I didn't really know who I was as a person, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much.

    Moving on to the actual book, and not ramblings from my mind, Catching Jordan is a fast paced book that can easily be read in one sitting. It's also free if you don't mind ebook formats on Wattpad. Though, everything was kind of annoying. It was a bit soap opera like, cliche, and our leads seemed ridiculous with some of their actions to the point I couldn't stop rolling my eyes.

    Characters Jordan a tomboy football player who thinks anyone who portrays a remotely feminine quality is a slut or not worth her time. She was rude and I honestly didn't feel the tomboy element of her bar the football element. My sister is a tomboy and I don't think I could pay her to wear a dress or her to miss a soccer practice. Jordan just was judgemental to the core and honestly, I'm not sure she was overly talented at football. I don't know anything about football though so I could be wrong. Henry was obviously who was going to be the winner of this love triangle.

    He was the best friend turned lover, which is a bit annoying considering I just want a platonic female and male relationship. He seemed cool, but whatever. I didn't care in the end because he was a drama queen. Ignoring his best friend and sleeping with a bunch of girls despite being in love with her was so immature. Ty was an asshole.

    I have nothing more to say. These characters were overall ridiculous and beyond realistic. Plot I mean - what plot at the end of the day? It was a whole drama fest going on between the characters that had me rolling my eyes. Football took the backseat as the protagonist focused on which boy she chose and the ridiculous problems she faced. Though, I had some incredibly large problems with the plot such as; Blatant stereotyping , every girl who wasn't Jordan was either a slut or bimbo. She couldn't handle the fact that maybe other woman would like football.

    She had to be the special snowflake. Sexism due to fact Jordan is a female football player and a super special snowflake. Her dad doesn't want her to play and won't support her, the university of Alabama won't let her play, and ultimately she gets ridiculed for loving football.

    Most of the time however, it's ignore. Slut shaming which I slightly mentioned in the stereotyping. Everyone bar Jordan is a slut in this book.
