How You Get the Girl

De: Anita Kelly

Narrado por: Lindsey Dorcus, Gail Shalan

Chemistry sizzles in this workplace rom-com set in the world of high school basketball as the author of Love & Other Disasters delivers a sapphic romance full of humor and heart.

When a smart-mouthed junior joins East Nashville High’s basketball team, Coach Julie Parker’s ready for the challenge. What she’s not prepared for is the teen’s new foster parent, a super-hot ex-WNBA baller and star of Julie’s fantasies. Julie knows the cool and confident Elle Cochrane is way out of her league. But despite being completely tongue-tied around her, somehow Julie persuades Elle to step in as her assistant coach.

Elle has not been on a court since her career-ending injury, but she can’t seem to resist Julie, who is just as adorable as her nervous babbling. Maybe because being around her makes Elle feel sparks for the first time in long while—which is why she offers to help when Julie reveals her lifelong insecurity about dating and how she wishes she could practice at it…like sports. As Elle helps Julie navigate dating life, lines grow increasingly blurred, and the two must decide whether they’ll stay on the sidelines—or finally take their shot.

"No one understands the beauty of quiet moments in romance quite like Kelly."—Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive

Must Read/ Must Listen

Loved the story line! Great read! Couldn’t stop until I finished it! You won’t regret the time!

Love Story with believable characters set in Nashville!

Honest love story about real people, flawed, vulnerable, sweet and hopeful. Unexpected connections at a time in life when thoughts of finding love is certainly past. Candid discussion of addiction, mental health, orientation and love woven expertly into an adorable story of finding love and "your person". Love the Nashville setting.

Cute and great ace-spectrum representation!

I enjoyed this sweet story very much. You don’t often get protagonists who might be ace or even almost ace, so this felt fresh and relatable. Strong cast of supporting characters too.

Romance

I loved this book so much! If you like queer romance, slow burn, fantastic characters and a good plot line, check this out!

Very entertaining and heartwarming

I loved everything about this book. 10/10 would recommend to any lgbtq listener. Loved the narration as well

Love Anita Kelly’s writing

Loved the story and seeing characters from the first two books. Kelly’s writing seems magical so how. Loved the narration!

Fun and Heartwarming!

I enjoyed this book so much! Not only for the basketball theme behind it but there is a good representation of mental health that I think a lot of people can relate to. Unless that’s a trigger for you, I’d recommend reading this book!

The perfect neurodivergent queer basketball romance!

I loved EVERYTHING! I feel so seen and validated and just so moved by both Julie and Elle. The performances were incredible and so full of life, and the writing! I don't have words for how fully realized these characters felt, literally the entire time. If you're neurodivergent and queer and love women's basketball, this will be your new favourite book!!!

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Going into this I was so unsure. But Cheese and Rice and Jesus Christ, this book was so sweet and sexy!!! I had a hard time pacing myself.

This was difficult

This story had me very frustrated and sorry that I used a credit on it. I found myself depressed at times while listening. Overly Angsty for no reason and not much in the way of spice.
