Anita Kelly's Reviews > How You Get the Girl

Hi friends! This is Basketball Book, as I've been calling it, although I consider it more sports-adjacent than full-on sports romance as there are many other things happening in it, too. It's for my Tennessee queers, my basketball lesbians, my late-bloomers and a-spec friends, my queers who struggle with finding labels that fit. It's also for foster parents, educators, angry teens who are doing their best, and people who hate their jobs but don't know how to get out.

While it can be read as a standalone, it wraps up the series that started with Love & Other Disasters, and previous characters from the series frequently appear, most notably London and Ben (as they are Julie's best friends and this is Julie's Book).

This is lighter in tone (hopefully) than Something Wild & Wonderful, but also has several heavier themes. Content warning for: migraines; foster care; depression; sports injury (ACL tear); addiction and neglect (family member).
