How You Get The Girl

'No one understands the beauty of quiet moments in romance quite like Kelly' ALISON COCHRUN 'Kelly never fails to bring the perfect combination of humor, swoons, and grounded emotion' Timothy Janovsky 'I can't get enough of Anita Kelly's writing' Ava Wilder Chemistry sizzles in this workplace rom-com set in the world of high school basketball from the author of Love & Other Disasters, named a "must-read" by USA Today, PopSugar, SheReads, and Harper's Bazaar. ____________________ When a smart-mouthed junior joins East Nashville High's basketball team, Coach Julie Parker's ready for the challenge. What she's not prepared for is the teen's new foster parent, a super-hot ex-WNBA baller and star of Julie's fantasies. Julie knows the cool and confident Elle Cochrane is way out of her league. But despite being completely tongue-tied around her, somehow Julie persuades Elle to step in as her assistant coach. Elle has not been on a court since her career-ending injury, but she can't seem to resist Julie, who is just as adorable as her nervous babbling. Maybe because being around her makes Elle feel sparks for the first time in long while-which is why she offers to help when Julie reveals her lifelong insecurity about dating and how she wishes she could practice at it...like sports. As Elle helps Julie navigate dating life, lines grow increasingly blurred, and the two must decide whether they'll stay on the sidelines-or finally take their shot. ____________________ Readers gave Love & Other Disasters ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'This book had so many great elements that it's no surprise I fell absolutely head over heels for it . . . the unabashed queerness in this book made my heart so happy . . . there was so much joy in this book that had me smiling from ear to ear' 'Funny, uplifting, true to life, relatable, and cheerful.
