Throw Like a Girl

By: Sarah Henning

Narrated by: Devon Hales

Friday Night Lightsmeets Morgan Matson's The Unexpected Everything in this contemporary debut where swoonworthy romance meets underdog sports story.

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 as his 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.

With well-drawn characters and a charming quarterback love interest who's got brains as well as brawn, Throw Like a Girl will have readers swooning from the very first page.

Critic reviews

Praise for Throw Like a Girl:"Liv's major obstacle is learning to forgive and trust again: the family who doesn't respect her decisions; the teammates who keep secrets; the boyfriend with an agenda; and above all, her own flawed, complicated, driven, triumphant self. This charming sports story reflects classic tropes of the genre while still feeling fresh and relevant. A winner."—Kirkus Reviews

"Determination and grit mixed perfectly with sass and humor on every turn of the page. With mistakes come lessons, and this story tells it in a way that everyone can relate to."—Abbi Glines, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"[Sarah] Henning offers up a scrappy contemporary debut in the vein of Morgan Matson. Sports fans and romance lovers unite--there's plenty to satisfy both teams here."—Booklist

cute very cute.

It was a good book to just pass the time. males voice was a little off took time to get used to but it was fine

The book was done very well

This book is done very well.And I plan to read and or listen to more books by this author

Fun story

Fun, engaging story. Sad that someone insinuating that your sister might be gay is the worst possible insult that can only be answered with your fist. Too bad the author isn't a fan of the greatest QB of all time, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. And he's easy on the eyes.

Wonderful

I loved it and Devon Hales was great. I LOVE that Sarah Henning was frank with the reality of concussions, accidents and the consequences of one's actions. The charactera were amazing and of course I loved that O-Rod was a girl on a boys football team. Definitely worth listening to.

Absolutely LOVED it!!

The narrator is PHENOMENAL, and the content is so perfectly high school. I laughed, bit my nails, and cheered with every score. 10/10 favorite!
