Playing the Field – by Christina Benjamin (Book 3)
Tiaras, tutus, and tomboys! The tomboys were cemented during a three-week summer sports camp. She beautiful young women. Three incredible athletes. Three life-long friends, Hannah, Jordan, and Alex, who understand a girl can be an athlete and an athlete can be a girl and just how difficult it is to be both. Alex is the youngest child, the only female in her family. Her father was a pro baseball player. Her oldest brother is a pro. Her two other brothers will be after college. All Alex wants is to be given the same opportunity to play. When her family moves to a town without a girl's softball team, she tries out for a spot on the high school baseball team. To say she's not welcome is an understatement. The school doesn't want her to upset the status quo. The team doesn't want to be the freak-show with a girl on the field. And star player, Grant King doesn't want the competition for his spot, especially from his dream girl. Too bad, the Trojan Princess has arrived, ready to take the field.This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Girl Power and Play Like a Girl made into a fun story. Alex is a fantastic character. I loved her confidence. I loved her insecurities. I loved her talent and determination. She came across as a completely believable young woman. She knew what she wanted and never doubted her abilities but she still had those story thoughts about being a disappointment. Who can't relate? Grant wasn't as easy to love but his circumstances brought out the worst in him at times. His desire for security, safety, acceptance, and a chance at life made him desperate for success and the escape it would allow him. It was such a paradox to think that, on the one hand, he was King of the school Every girl wanting him, every guy admiring him. But on the other, he felt looked down upon, judged. It was so easy to see that he was a good guy acting badly. It was equally easy to see, he and Alex were inevitable. The side character students were great. I loved Lucas, Casey, and the Tomboys. I LOVED the Trojan Tattler! I loved the tiaras and tutus. I would have liked more of David and Will Prince. Really that's my only complaint about this story. I would have liked more. A longer, more in-depth novel but I understand. Now I need to check out the other books in this series.Alex’s story The nice thing about this series is that they can be read independently and in any order or each one can be read as a stand-alone. Each book starts off with the same introduction, giving the reader the backstory, and then each book branches off to highlight the individual girls’ stories. It’s quite cleverly done. The first two books in the series are very similar in style and make a seamless transition from book one to book two. I found this author’s style to be quite different. A little bit edgier, a little bit more mature, albeit just as clean as the previous two. They are all fast-paced and the target audience is teens. There is no swearing in any of the books and no sex.This is Alex’s story, written in alternating points of view with the main male character, Grant.-‘By the time I finished my chocolate milkshake I think I had my first full blown crush and I didn’t regret a minute of it. I was already drafting my email to Jordan and Hannah in my head.’-Captivating, Emotional, & Hilarious!!! What a sensational young adult romantic story with so much heart and laughter. Alex is a softball player and transfers to a new school with no softball team. So what's a softball player to do? Join the boys baseball team. Grant is popular, handsome, and a talented baseball player. Sparks fly and tensions run high when not only is there attraction to contend with but also a competition for a starting position. Christina Benjamin creates fantastic stories about young adults overcoming adversity and insecurities and heartache born from the hurtful mistakes of those that are supposed to love and protect you but overcoming one's own fears of failure and unworthiness. Playing the Field is witty banter, laughter, heartache, bullies, pranks, secrets, fear, insecurities, healing, faith, friendship, passionate kisses, and love. I really loved this book and can't wait to read more from Christina Benjamin. This is a captivating, laugh out loud must read that readers won't want to put down and characters they will fall in love with.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
