About this listen
So much for senior year being the best part of high school.
It all started when I caught my boyfriend cheating on me.
I did what any girl would do - I got revenge. Of course, it didn’t stop there. Thanks to a condemning video, I also got eight weeks of community service and athletic probation right before basketball season is supposed to start. (There goes my spot as captain!)
Thankfully, there’s a guy at Marlowe Junction’s Helping Hands who makes passing the time more enjoyable. He’s gorgeous, funny, and a huge basketball fan.
Too bad he’s also my brother’s biggest enemy....
Courtside Crush is a modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet, perfect for anyone who likes their sweet romance with a dash of drama. It is the first book in the Varsity Girlfriends series.

I’m over it. I’m done trying. I’m perfectly content to dance alone in the dark while the rest of the school is sleeping.

Even though I’m around hot football players every afternoon, they are not allowed to date me. If they even come close to flirting, my dad, Coach “The Boss” Davis, makes them run laps around the field until they puke. Not only has he forbidden me to date anyone at all, he’s even made me the football team’s water girl so he can keep tabs on me. What Dad doesn’t know is that I spend every last second of those two blissful hours of practice in the scorching California heat staring at Tyson Blake. He is the epitome of perfection. And Dad hates him.

Bachelor: A desirable potential boyfriend. AKA not Cole Kingston. Seventeen-year-old Madison (Madi) Matthews wants nothing to do with the dating competition her school is holding to raise money for charity. She's never been interested in chasing a guy before, and she certainly isn't interested in competing for one in front of the whole school. But, when Madi is voted as one of the 10 "lucky" contestants, she's given no choice but to vie for the heart of Lincoln High's most eligible bachelor. The problem is, they've chosen the wrong guy.

Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

I hate you, Fuller James. I hate your floppy hair and your lopsided grin and those laughing blue eyes that always seem to be laughing at me. I hate that you're the most popular guy in school and I'm still the girl who sneezed and spit out her retainer on someone at a middle school dance. It's just such a cliché. I hate that I'm being forced to tutor you in English and keep it a secret from everyone. Because otherwise it might put our basketball team's chances at winning State in jeopardy, and even though I hate you, I love basketball.

So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Until I encountered him freshman year and discovered he's also troubled. Captivating. Audacious. And when I come across him again senior year, it turns out that knowledge is even more dangerous than his suggestive smirk....

In fact, their meet cute led to a friendship she never saw coming. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming, either....

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

A Terrific YA Story Enjoyable for Any Age!
This is a terrific story, it is well written, well told and I enjoyed it from start to end. It is not a typical young adult romance, it is so much more. Kayla Tirrell’s storylines are interesting and realistic. She captures teenage living, the challenges they face and the struggles they go through. The characters are well developed, I really liked Charlie, how she started to grow as a person and see the error of her ways. I also liked her best friend Daria, who always had her back. No comment on Anderson, but Jackson, I really liked him, he seemed more mature than others his age, I would love to hear more from him and what makes him tick. I loved the Romeo and Juliette theme in this story using the love of basketball and rival teams, well played! I highly recommend this story, it is entertaining and fast paced, there is never a dull moment, has plenty of drama, angst and some sweet romance. Kayla Tirrell thank you for another great story!
I listened to the Audible edition, Megan Meyer did a great job narrating the story and performing the voices of all the characters, giving each their own unique sound and easy to follow the conversation and dialogue. Thank you for the great listen🎧

Teenage Love!
This is a great story! So real in so many ways. It was so easy to see the student hierarchy and how it affects the students decisions. Every choice make so save someone else's feeling always seem to backfire. This story shows that even the best intentions can backfire. The love story was heartwarming. The main characters showed more caring and understanding than some adults. Overall this was a very heartwarming story with a great happy ending.

Lovely amusing romance story
The narrator is great and the story is great. I kept on listening to this fun, sweet little retelling of Romeo & Juliet. I love Charlie and Jackson, they’re great people and cute together. This is my first book of this author but I love her worldbuilding and dialogues so I’d love to read or listen more from her. This also is my first time reading a series made up by different authors so I’m curious to the (to me unknown) authors of book 2 & 3. Glad to see that this author will return to this series with book 4, can’t wait for that one!

a great clean rival YA romance
A wonderful well written rival school forbidden romance story. This engaging storyline stressed the importance of honesty, shows effects of lying, had drama, supportive families and friends, thru a rollercoaster of emotions that had me on the edge page after page for outcome. A really fun, enjoyable YA romance that was cute, funny, and endearing thru the trials of high school. The characters were well developed with laugh out loud banter and great supporting casts of family and friends. The narration was a great job of giving all characters their own voices along with portraying the emotions and spunk of each. Really made me feel as I voluntarily listened and reviewed this amazing story adding extra layer of enjoyment.

Great YA story - with a parental caveat
I totally disliked Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" (and this is coming from a geek who actually loved his comedies), but I figured there was no way a YA romance would end so stupidly, so liking the description otherwise, I decided to give it a try.
Frankly, I was expecting this to be the usual fluffy YA story, but it got surprisingly intense toward the end. It was hard watching Charlie do something that I knew would be a terrible mistake, but I've seen adults trust where they should know better, so it's not that incredible for a 17 year old to do it..
Jacob seems pretty awesome, though I wish we had gotten a little more insight into his character. I love that he tried to keep Charlie from feeling like she had to choose between him and her brother.
I love the happy yet realistic way that the story ends. I have 6 siblings & can vouch that the family part is true too life. :-)
I'm looking forward to the rest of the series (and I hope a certain character gets reformed or gets his somewhere along the way)!
The narrator read well & was a great choice for depicting youthful voices!
*Clean romance level: sweet kisses
*Parents, of younger teens especially, may want to discuss Charlie's situation & how she handled it versus better ways that she could have done so.

Such a Cute High School Contemporary Book
I absolutely love listening to YA contemporary books and Courtside Crush is no exception.
The high school scenarios were very realistic. I liked the various relationships between the characters: love, rivalries, family, friends, etc. I felt the various story lines and settings were well balanced throughout the novel. The book was well paced and never felt too slow or too fast. I did not realize until part way in that this book is a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet. I did not enjoy Romeo and Juliet when I read it, but I did enjoy this story. I hope to read more from Kayla Tirrell because I really enjoy her story telling.
Megan Meyer did a great job with distinct voices.
I received a copy of this audiobook at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.

So many lies and secrets
I have such mixed feelings. I really like almost all the characters. Anderson, is weak and so lame. Charlie is way too immature to be a senior, and way to immature for Jackson. I was hoping for more for her. Her character was so unrealistic. She let so many people walk all over her, and the way she acted out in childish fits was too irrational. I really like BFF Daria. No lies. I plan to listen to her story next. Jackson was so sweet and supportive throughout this book, I think he’s my favorite character
