Varsity #2: Catching Feelings

The first rule for a drama free senior year? Don’t fall for the mysterious new football transfer. A swoony young adult romance full of undeniable chemistry and school spirit perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Friday Night Lights, from the author of Heart Check.

When Sabrina and Tyler meet by accident outside (okay, inside) the football locker rooms, it’s not a big deal. After a rocky summer, Sabrina is focused on leading the Spirit Committee to its best year ever, while Tyler is eager to leave behind the mess from his old school with a second chance playing football as a transfer. Neither is looking for romance. 
 
But as the team’s newest (and most eligible) varsity athlete, Tyler is suddenly the center of attention. And Sabrina is busy dodging Ryan, her longtime flirtationship who is determined to take her to the homecoming dance. Ryan is exactly the kind of chaos Sabrina doesn’t need, so she asks Tyler to go as friends instead. Eager to fend off other unwanted advances, Tyler is happy to accept.  
 
Of course, this was before Sabrina realized Tyler is Ryan’s cousin. But as long as they’re just friends, everything should be fine. Tyler is less willing to ignore the connection he feels toward Sabrina, but he’s also desperate to keep his past buried. When the chemistry between them becomes impossible to deny, can their carefully laid plans survive the fallout, or will secrets and social pressure threaten everything they’ve built? 

The first printing of the paperback will include beautiful sprayed edges!

SELECTED PRAISE

"Hamilton Lakes has never been so cute! Brimming with tension and chemistry, Catching Feelings is the perfect fun and flirty follow up to Heart Check. Sabrina and Tyler’s story is a tender and sweet romance that will have you kicking your feet and impatiently waiting for the next kiss. I’ll be thinking about this heartfelt story—and these layered characters—for a long time. This blurb doesn't even do it justice." —Misty Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Falling Like Leaves

"Incredibly realistic high school stakes turn this "just friends" sports romance into a touchdown. I cheered for Tyler and Sabrina from the bleachers until the very last page. A brilliantly executed continuation of the Varsity series that I hope leads to many more." —Page Powars, New York Times Bestselling author of And They Were Roommates 

"Catching Feelings is a big-hearted, incredibly satisfying romance between a people-pleasing heroine who’s trying to hold everything together through force of will (and school spirit!) alone, and a tortured football player with a poetic soul who excels at pining. With cozy fall vibes, laugh-out-loud moments, and layered, vivid characters who’ll stay with you long after you turn the last page, this is YA romantic comedy at its very best." —Clare Osongco, author of Midnights With You
