When softball star Liv Rodinsky throws one ill-advised punch during the most important game of the year, she loses her scholarship to her fancy private school, her boyfriend, and her teammates all in one fell swoop. With no other options, Liv is forced to transfer to the nearest public school, Northland, where she’ll have to convince its coach she deserves a spot on the softball team, all while facing both her ex and the teammates of the girl she punched… Every. Single. Day.
Enter Grey, the injured star quarterback with amazing hair and a foolproof plan: If Liv joins the football team and plays with the boys as Grey’s temporary replacement, he’ll make sure she gets a spot on the softball team in the spring. But it will take more than just a flawless spiral for Liv to find acceptance in Northland’s halls, and behind that charismatic smile, Grey may not be so perfect after all.

From NOVL Nation
“I loved our main character, Liv, who was so headstrong and determined. She was a great narrator and I loved seeing her perspective.”
—Shelby, @123sccshelby
“I found the characters endearing and memorable and just a shade away from perfect (especially Grey) in a way that seemed authentic. I love a good high school feel-good sports story (hello, Friday Night Lights!) so this really hit a sweet spot for me.”
—Jamie, @jamiereads8
“The romance was also totally swoon-worthy (and clean), which is fantastic in a YA novel. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a contemporary YA read with some romance and sports elements. This is a sweet and charming read from start to finish with some truly incredible characters.”
—Olivia, @onemused
“I thought Henning nailed the family dynamics and I appreciated what a key part of the story Liv’s family was.”
—Jamie, @jlew8
