Screwball Reviews
"Ashley Clarke knows what it's like to be under pressure. She's an athlete that plays on three different sports teams during the school year. That, on top of school work and trying to have a social life, keeps her awfully busy. And it only adds up when Ashley gets a boyfriend and feels pressured to spend more time with him, in between dodging Christy, a teammate who seems to hate her without reason. Ashley will have to find a way to juggle everything that's going on, and at the same time stay true to herself - something a lot easier said than done.
This novel speaks sports. Though dense with sports talk, strategy, and suspense, Screwball will appeal to both athletes and non-sports players alike. Ashley is tough, determined, and yet appropriately girly at the same time, making her someone that high school girls especially can relate to. This is one book ideal for the reluctant reader who lives and breathes any sort of sport. You don't need to go to the big game to experience all that fun and excitement - just grab some peanuts and this fast paced and entertaining read!"

I got a copy of Screwball on Friday. Read it Saturday. LOVED
IT. So cute and funny. I kept wanting to have Jake win in the end,
but your portrayal of Andrew was perfect enough to keep me unsure if
Jake was the real good guy. Yay! I loved the Jersey Shore feel of the
story too, having grown up summers in Barnegat Light. My favorite time
there was the very end of the summer and winter (as an adult). I loved
Ashley's habit of saying, yum or yummy about boys, there's a real
innocence to that, a playfulness that I liked.
