Miranda Kenneally writes contemporary young adult romance centred on sport, school, friendship and the pressure teenagers place on themselves to meet family or social expectations. Catching Jordan follows Jordan Woods, the female quarterback of her high-school football team, whose confidence on the field becomes harder to maintain when romance complicates her role among teammates. The book begins the Hundred Oaks sequence, a set of loosely connected novels sharing the same Tennessee school and sports culture rather than one continuous plot. Stealing Parker turns to softball and religion, while Things I Can't Forget places a rule-following heroine in a summer-camp setting where her certainties about faith and relationships are challenged. Kenneally's books are accessible, relationship-led and generally quick-moving, with athletic competition used as more than background. They suit readers looking for YA sports romance, school stories and coming-of-age fiction with recurring community links across otherwise self-contained books. Read more Less
