Screwball

A few days ago i finished reading Screwball, by Keri Mikulski..

Things have been sweet for fourteen-year old freshman fastpitch fanatic Ashley Clarke. She's happy and content as the starting pitcher for her stress-free fourteen and under ASA team. During her time away from the diamond, she's either sprinting down the soccer field, bouncing a basketball, or hanging at the beach with her BFF, Lizzy. But one sizzling summer day, hottie junior jock Andrew spots her at a pizza shop and Ashley's life changes forever. Meanwhile, her friend, Kate, talks her into joining the Crush, an elite sixteen and under team loaded with tough competition. Shortly after playing in her first game, Ashley finds out new Crush teammate Christy not only hates her guts, but is determined to ruin Ashley's future for good. Join Ashley as she struggles juggling sports, school, and a social life. Will Christy and her cronies force Ashley to quit the Crush? Or will she give it all up to spend more time with Andrew? And who's the new guy in Ashley's life complicating things?

This book is really a good one. I didn't know anything at all about softball, i only new my sister played it when she was in highschool. But know i new some facts about this sports and i learned that in a fun way. The romance plot between Ashley and Andrew was also fun to read. This is one of the better summer reads. It reminded me about long, sunny and fun summer holidays, and that thing always makes me smile : )
