"A hero who will melt your heart."—Jennifer Echols, national award-winning author of Such a Rush Parker Shelton pretty much has the perfect life. She's on her way to becoming valedictorian at Hundred Oaks High, she's made the all-star softball team, and she has plenty of friends. Then her mother's scandal rocks their small town and suddenly no one will talk to her. Now Parker wants a new life. So she quits softball. Drops twenty pounds. And she figures why kiss one guy when she can kiss three. Or four. Why limit herself to high school boys when the majorly cute new baseball coach seems especially flirty? But how far is too far before she loses herself completely? Praise for Catching Jordan: "A must-read for teens! I couldn't put it down!"—Simon Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series "With a clever, authentic voice, Kenneally proves once and for all that when it comes to making life's toughest calls-on and off the field-girls rule!"—Sara Ockler, bestselling author of Fixing Delilah

Yea, she's young, but ugh. Parker has been known for "hanging out with the guys." And recently after what happ...
Book rating: 3 starsAudiobook rating: 3.5 starsInitial thoughts: Stealing Parker is one of those books that is much better as an audiobook because the narrator adds to the enjoyment of it. Yet even without the narration, Stealing Parker surprised me. I didn't like Catching Jordan at all, in part bec...
This is the second of the series. My review of Catching Jordan is here. So, continuing the dialogue I started with Catching Jordan, Stealing Parker takes on some completely different issues: LGBT issues in the South, Christianity, cruelty and hypocrisy, slut-shaming, and the exploitation of young ...
I enjoyed this continuation of The Hundred Oaks series. Parker's mom has divorced her husband when she is tired of living a lie. She moves in with her female lover and Parker and her family have to live with the gossip and judging by others. Parker is having a hard time dealing with it and quits ...

But as the book progresses, I came to realise that she has a reason for this. I really feel bad for her on what she had g...
