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.

"A gorgeous, curative read about the new identities people create by giving themselves permission to heal from the pain of the past and what can be discovered as they immerse themselves in the vast, untamed, wonderful wilderness. A deeply satisfying, romantic story worth getting lost in."

Slow at 1st

It started out slow and I felt it was a little boring, but then it got better.

Demisexual, Depression, Non Binary, Migraines and Drug Abuse are all factors in this story.

Good Narration. R rated

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.

Very entertaining and heartwarming

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

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!

Great Story - Great Performance

This book was really good at showing the emotions of the characters. Depression, anxiety, and physical ailments. It really drove home to how these things actually feel like. I felt the connection of the characters were portrayed really well. I felt like I could really understand who they were... what they wanted... and where it COULD end. Great job Jae. Lindsey and Gail!

xclent character development

Kudos for destigmatizing MENTAL HEALTH by showing the two main characters struggle with two very different issues

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!
