I have to be honest, I didn’t remember a lot of the finer points of the story. Of course, it’d been over five years since I read it so I shouldn’t be too terribly surprised. I’ve read a whole lot of books since then. I remembered the basics though — girl quarterback, love triangle with the new guy and her best friend, angst and feels. And, of course, that I totally loved it.
I loved it just as much the second time around as I did the first. I think it gave me even more feels this time than it did the first, honestly. It was a bit angstier than I remembered, but I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way. I just don’t read as many YA books these days, so I tend to forget how angsty they can be. But no matter, it’s still one of my top faves in the genre. It felt a little like catching up with old friends. Plus, Christina Delaine did a great job bringing life to Jordan, Sam Henry and the rest of the crew and I enjoyed her performance.
Absolutely! But, before I reread Catching Jordan again, I want to work my way through the rest of the Hundred Oaks series for a second time. It’s such a great series with so many fantastic characters. I really was sad to see it end. But at least I know the audiobooks are a good option for when I decide to visit the world again.
I once read that football was invented so people wouldn’t notice summer ending. But I couldn’t wait for summer vacation to end. I couldn’t wait for football. Football, dominator of fall—football, love of my life.
When unrequited love is the most expensive thing on the menu, sometimes you settle for the daily special.
Have you read any of Miranda Kenneally’s books?
I love The Hundred Oaks series. The final book, Coming Up for Air, was bittersweet for me. It was a great story and we got to catch up with Jordan and Sam, but it was the last one. I am glad you were still as fond of Catching Jordan after all these years.
