The Game Can't Love You Back by Karole Cozzo

35485731

Blurb:
Eve is used to being the odd woman out. As the only girl on her school's baseball team, she knows exactly how to put sweaty, macho baseball players in their place, and she's focused on one thing and one thing only—being the best pitcher she can be.

But when a freak accident forces her high school to be absorbed by the neighboring town, Eve has to contend with a new group of guys who aren't used to having a woman on their team. And the new team's star pitcher, Jamie, has no interest in being ousted from his throne. He can't afford to give up his starting slot to a new pitcher—even worse, to a girl.

As the competition between Jamie and Eve starts to heat up, so does their attraction to each other. Can they keep their heads in the game, or will they end up getting played?
My thoughts:
This book was cute. Women in athletics don't get the same respect as men do. So to see a book trying to break through those layers is wonderful. For someone who likes sport in general, I feel women do not get the respect that they deserve. I also like that we get to see how she is treated in high school in a male-dominated sport. I truly enjoyed this book. I could not put this book down. I wish that there was more.
