The life of Parker Stanhope, popular junior relegated to the JV soccer team and scorned by her best buds, reads like a mash-up of Bend It Like Beckham, Mean Girls, and Can’t Buy Me Love, and will find a happy audience in fans of the same. To win herself a spot on the varsity team, Parker, her pre-law older brother, and his hot best friend concoct a scheme involving a sweet faculty parking spot for the coach and a knock-’em-dead kiss at the Sports Fair’s kissing booth. All Parker has to do is learn how to kiss. Enter Tristan,the lowly freshman across the street with talents he offers to share with Parker in exchange for help elevating his social standing. The plan predictably spins out of control and Parker falls for Tristan, all the while trying to avoid the backstabbing ways of her former teammates. The lesson of being true to oneself comes across clearly, and readers will be pulling for Parker in this top-dog-turned-underdog story.
