Courtside Crush

Varsity Girlfriends, Book 1

By: Kayla Tirrell

Narrated by: Megan Meyer

So much for senior year being the best part of high school.

It all started when I caught my boyfriend cheating on me.

I did what any girl would do - I got revenge. Of course, it didn’t stop there. Thanks to a condemning video, I also got eight weeks of community service and athletic probation right before basketball season is supposed to start. (There goes my spot as captain!)

Thankfully, there’s a guy at Marlowe Junction’s Helping Hands who makes passing the time more enjoyable. He’s gorgeous, funny, and a huge basketball fan.

Too bad he’s also my brother’s biggest enemy....

Courtside Crush is a modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet, perfect for anyone who likes their sweet romance with a dash of drama. It is the first book in the Varsity Girlfriends series.

great storyline I was hooked from beginning to end

I loved it! I can't wait to read the next one. Storyline had me enthralled.

Lovely amusing romance story

The narrator is great and the story is great. I kept on listening to this fun, sweet little retelling of Romeo & Juliet. I love Charlie and Jackson, they’re great people and cute together. This is my first book of this author but I love her worldbuilding and dialogues so I’d love to read or listen more from her. This also is my first time reading a series made up by different authors so I’m curious to the (to me unknown) authors of book 2 & 3. Glad to see that this author will return to this series with book 4, can’t wait for that one!

A Terrific YA Story Enjoyable for Any Age!

This is a terrific story, it is well written, well told and I enjoyed it from start to end. It is not a typical young adult romance, it is so much more. Kayla Tirrell’s storylines are interesting and realistic. She captures teenage living, the challenges they face and the struggles they go through. The characters are well developed, I really liked Charlie, how she started to grow as a person and see the error of her ways. I also liked her best friend Daria, who always had her back. No comment on Anderson, but Jackson, I really liked him, he seemed more mature than others his age, I would love to hear more from him and what makes him tick. I loved the Romeo and Juliette theme in this story using the love of basketball and rival teams, well played! I highly recommend this story, it is entertaining and fast paced, there is never a dull moment, has plenty of drama, angst and some sweet romance. Kayla Tirrell thank you for another great story!

I listened to the Audible edition, Megan Meyer did a great job narrating the story and performing the voices of all the characters, giving each their own unique sound and easy to follow the conversation and dialogue. Thank you for the great listen🎧

Teenage Love!

This is a great story! So real in so many ways. It was so easy to see the student hierarchy and how it affects the students decisions. Every choice make so save someone else's feeling always seem to backfire. This story shows that even the best intentions can backfire. The love story was heartwarming. The main characters showed more caring and understanding than some adults. Overall this was a very heartwarming story with a great happy ending.

a great clean rival YA romance

A wonderful well written rival school forbidden romance story. This engaging storyline stressed the importance of honesty, shows effects of lying, had drama, supportive families and friends, thru a rollercoaster of emotions that had me on the edge page after page for outcome. A really fun, enjoyable YA romance that was cute, funny, and endearing thru the trials of high school. The characters were well developed with laugh out loud banter and great supporting casts of family and friends. The narration was a great job of giving all characters their own voices along with portraying the emotions and spunk of each. Really made me feel as I voluntarily listened and reviewed this amazing story adding extra layer of enjoyment.
