Too many basketballs and not enough kissing.

All Matt Bailey wants is to focus on his position as starting point guard for the varsity
basketball team. When an epic kiss and a social media scandal forces him into the
arms of the beautiful and spunky Trina Wynter, he finds himself in a fake relationship
with a girl just crazy enough to think she can take on the world.

When Trina gets cut from the girls’ basketball team, she thinks her senior year is
wasted, until a closetful of basketballs and two hundred sprigs of mistletoe bring every
athlete in Grand Haven High School together for a good cause, and a great excuse for
more kissing.

Basketballs and Mistletoe is a stand-alone novella in the All’s Fair in Love and Sports
Series:

Running to You
Meet Me at Half Court
Pass Me the Ball
Strike Three, You’re Mine (Coming Spring of 2020!)

Teen romance

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book wasn't really my cup of tea. I usually avoid teen romance books for that reason but I love audio books and was really in the mood for a Christmas book so the title won out. Unfortunately, it was all about the teen romance and zero about Christmas. The mistletoe is just another excuse for teens to make out at the holiday ball. For my own enjoyment I'd rate it two stars but since I know that other people will enjoy the story I added a star.

Things I liked: I liked that Matt is more interested in Trina as a person that he is in what she looks like. However, since he thinks she is beautiful that might not be saying much. I liked that the story handled Trina's eating disorder with delicacy but also that it is something serious that needs to be taken seriously. I liked that parents were able to have frank discussions with the kids. I liked that the kids were willing to take on a service project.

Things I didn't like: I hated pretty much anything that was of a sexual nature in the book. There is a lot of making out, talk about sex, social media exploding over the course of an hour from a kiss in the hall to rumors of her being pregnant. Kids telling each other good job for having sex. I also felt like the author underplayed the magnitude of taking on the service project in such a short time period. That seems pretty unrealistic.

So, while this wasn't my kind of book, I know there are many who will love it. And the narration was pretty good.

Sex: making out, talk about sex, kids cheering each other on when they think they've had sex, but no actual sex on the page. (One teen couple in the background are pregnant and engaged).
Language: no
Violence: no
*I received a complimentary audio-book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Fun escape

(3.5 Stars)
I love basketball and basketball players, and what better to have them star in a holiday romance? Matt and Trina both have something in common with their dreams for senior year, but sometimes that's all dreams are--dreams. I loved the way Trina was able to think outside herself and turn her dream into a community-wide service opportunity.

I also love fake relationships, especially when they develop because of a spark of attraction and a misunderstanding situation, just as this one did. I loved the way this one played out, even in such a short amount of pages.

I did have a few mixed feelings. The story and characters were a little juvenile at times, but I can excuse that because it's YA, so of course they're true to the age. But there was a major issue thrown into the mix and although it was hinted at once or twice, I didn't feel that the full complication fit into a story so short.

Overall, this was a fun escape and these YA Christmas books are great because they always seem to take me back to a fun and memorable time in my life.

Content: mild romance

Perfect for Christmastime!

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019

I loved this short story! Perfect for Christmastime! What I loved about it was the awkward moments that just ended up being so funny. Some moments had me laughing out loud, some had me gasping, and some were touching. I just had all the feels! The story is fast paced, with just enough detail to get me into the characters and to love how everything unfolds. Some great one-liners. I seriously love all the lines! And I love how straightforward the scene with the doctor was. This is a funny, yet candid novel. So between the awkward lol moments, and the warm fuzzes, and the oh nos! I loved every second.

sweet read!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019

This was my first book to read from this author and I sure loved the diverse characters in this quick-paced story. It gives you a bit of dram and what goes around in a typical high school. I loved that the author brought two unique characters together, opposites attract kind of situation and had them falling for one another. It was cool adding in a foreign student to the mix. I will read more of this author's work for sure.

Delightful

Another delightful story of seniors Matt and Trina. Their focus and dreams are on basketball when misfortune happened for both of them. Together they found of how they could help one another with other things that maybe bothering them. A school project of sending things to Africa, was a good idea of teaching the kids to reach out and help others. Have read others in this series and have enjoyed all of them. Enjoyable with good narration
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Basketballs and mistletoe

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020

It was a nice, short story, an off-shoot of a series. I love the holiday and while I think that the combination of basketball and mistletoe is quite amusing, I think the story was so-so.

Trinas project succeeds

Reviewed in Australia on November 18, 2019

Loved it. Once again Julie writes a fantastic story . We see Trina start a drive to gather used sports equipment from her school and other schools from surrounding districts. The gear comes rolling in along with donations for the silent auctions at the big fundraising ball. Trina’s plan succeeds and the sports gear will be shipped to the Ivory Coast.
