A Game Worth Watching

Worth Series #1

by Samantha Gudger

All her life, people have told 17-year-old tomboy Emma Wrangton that she’s not good enough, smart enough, or strong enough to succeed in life. Somewhere along the way, she started to believe them.

Without the promise of a respectable future after graduation, all Emma wants is to cherish her senior year by playing basketball with the guys and spending as much time as possible with her best friend before he heads off to some fancy university, leaving her behind. But when the high school basketball coach recruits her to join the team—the girls’ team—Emma discovers life is anything but a slam dunk. How is she supposed to know how to be one of the girls when all she’s ever been is one of the guys?

I'm going to be honest, I read this book because it worked with a goodreads group challenge and it's on kindle unlimited. BUT . . . I had no idea how much I was going to love it! I put it off forever because I thought I wouldn't like it. Stupid, it seems to be the ones you put off that you really enjoy.



Emma is a kick butt basket ball player. She plays with the boys at the court on the weekends. She's been playing with these guys for years. But she learned her mad skills from her best friend, Riley and his father when she was just a little girl.



First off, Emma has a••holes for family members. Their mom left them and it's only Emma and a bunch of brothers and a father. None of them act like she exists and some act like they hate her, even her father.

Dad hates you . . . You'll never amount to anything . . . You're worthless.

Emma has been teased at school all of her life. She has been called a loser, poverty girl, on and on and on. These bullies were horrible. But those words coming out of her families mouth. . . how much more does this girl have to take?

I loved Riley and his family. They were always so kind to Emma, they loved her. Riley and Emma were best friends since like fourth grade. It gets hard for Emma when Riley admits he wants her in his life as more than a best friend. They do find love but this book isn't about all of that. It's a beautiful thing and I loved how slowly this emerged. I love how Emma fought all of the battles she had to fight.

The coach of the girls basketball team shows up to one of the games Emma played with the boys asking her to join the team. It took a lot of persuasion from Riley and even from his dad to push Emma to join the team. It's was a rough start. The one girl that I despised until she got her cr•p straight was Lauren, she was always saying bad things about Emma's mom and Emma being poor. It took all Emma had not to beat her down. I would have just taken her out, but I digress. Emma so didn't want to play with girls but it all worked out.

Emma ended up training this team to be awesome and go all the way! I was so proud of her. She was tough, I mean she was raised with boys and hung out with boys. But, she did show some vulnerable sides and that was nice.

The ending was amazing, I will leave it with the expert.

Poverty child. Loser. Poor girl. Tomboy. As far back as she could remember labels had defined who she was and what her future would hold. Maybe now she was entitled to add a few of her own labels to the list: Basketball player. Coach. Friend. Girlfriend. And maybe, just maybe, college-bound.

D•mn, I cried!

A Game Worth Watching is a book worth reading!!!

I had the privilege to read a book after hubs wentt to bed Valentines night and my birthday morning and it didn't disappoint!
Now that you have that straight, listen to me when I say...A Game Worth Watching by Samantha Gudger is a must read book.
It's sweet and had me smile, hug myself and damn it, I cried! Yep the salty ugly kind of cry.
Honestly, 5/5.
It was very well written and had me from go. I love the journey ALL the characters had to go through and how they grew with the help of One girl who thought she had zero effect on any soul. Riley and Emma are beautifully put together and there isn't one point in the book I could fault.
I stayed up late Valentines Day and early rise on my BIRTHDAY no less and that's a day I should be allowed a sleep in; although I did have to work too. LOL. Anyway, I was running late for work and only had 6 pages to go...SIX pages! Who can leave a book at six pages to go?
A girl who needs to keep her job ;)
As soon as I got home though, I was jumping in my jammies because they are the best reading attire in the world and I flopped on the lounge ready for the finale...Samantha, God bless her imagination is a beautiful author and A Game Worth Watching has made it to my top love list.
Thank you Samantha!

P.S, I like Basketball ight now and I see Emma as Emma Stone if there comes a movie. Just saying!

I hate the main character, Emma. She has a really great best friend, mad basketball skills and other stuff she doesn't care about. All she can think of are the bad stuff. THE BAD ATTITUDE TOWARDS ANYONE DOESN'T HELP AT ALL. She snaps at everyone for no apparent reason. She didn't grow through out the story. Things just happened around her.



I kept rolling my eyes on her.

[Mika Pisueña · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hope there will be a sequel. Major cliffhanger really. I hope to read more of what happened to Emma, will she end up with her basketball fairytale ending? Also There are a lot of things that needs a closure here. Like her family for instance, I wanna know if they'll make amends, and why did Coach Knowles leave in the middle of the game? And will Emma be able to go to college? Ugh, so many questions so little pages! Please, oh please a sequel will be very much appreciated!:)

3.5 Solid stars! I really enjoyed this! I loved the pace of the novel and sports stories are my guilty pleasure! I am a huge fan of underdog stories! Both Emma and Riley were amazing characters, especially Riley! I wish there was a tad more romance. Also, I understand being a tom boy but I didn't like the hate being thrown at the whole girl species. Girls are portrayed as these selfish, manipulative beings ( which we can be) , but we are too complex to be generalized like that.

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this Young Adult read. This is a well written novel. I like that this series is called the WOrth series, it drew me in. This is a story about Emma, she has it tough and her self esteem shows it. Emma is tough and I loved getting into her head and trying to figure out what made her tick. This was not an easy light read, but I loved it. I read half of the next book which starts off right where this leaves off but this has a great ending. I loved how it evolved and think the author did a great job staying true to this character. You get the whole book from her POV and I enjoyed it that way. This is a clean read. There are some serious issues like broken family's and fighting and abandonment but it is done in a very good way. There is a romance but it is done very well. I would say 13 and up.

Re-read December 2018

Yep, still one of the absolute best books I've ever read!

Re-read May 2017

This book easily enters my top 10 best-ever books. Probably the top 5 list as well.

It is amazingly good! If you haven't read it yet, then do yourself a favor and do it.

It is very well written and I was hooked pretty much from the first page. It is one of those YA books with no age restriction. It is totally enjoyable no matter how old you are.

It definitely is a book worth reading!!!

[Purvika · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I started this book I expected a typical YA style where there will be a game geek , a best friend a new stud lots of romance and less of the game. But when the story progressed it showed it was way more than what I was thinking. It had none of what I expected rather totally game and game. I loved how Basketball was the highlight of the story rather than couple and their romance. In fact the minimal of romance made it more adorable. I loved every page that I read. Emma's journey from 'poverty girl' to 'coach and friend' was very endearing. The way she struggled with her feelings and demons made it more realistic than any other YA I have ever read.

The girls in the story, everyone of them had their own fair share of insecurities and issues and I wish I had something about them as well. Also, I have a strong feeling sometime soon we may get a sequel for this as this book totally need many closures. I won't talk more about that as it will be huge spoiler and I prefer my reviews with less spoilers, so all I can say is, it would have been a perfect read for me if I had gotten few extra chapters of others POV as well. And oh I totally would love to read about Ashley and Lauren. They both are polar apart but have strong character. Their character development in the story was marvelous and for the first time I don't hate the 'bitch' of the story. Oh and I absolutely loved 'the Guys' and especially RILEY. Such swoon worthy character he is...

All in all, a great read for me.... Thanks Srijeesha for recommending this book to me...

i like this one I mean who doesn't love a good tomboy story



everything start when EMMA our current heroin is call and push by her bf and future coach to the basketball team, oh boy but it wasn't the boys team oh NO it was the girls one and this was a huge break dealer for her
the thing is Emma was despised by so really nasty bitches the other girls the girls in the team, because she was really poor, so Emma is and had been always an outsider
but at the beginning it was so HILARIOUS it when like this

ALL THE GIRLS IN THE TEAM

EMMA



she didn't give two flying birds about what the others girl wanted, of course this was a problem since we are talking about a basketball team but things get better
i don't want to tell much, i just want to say it was really good and i really touch about some topics that are inside the book. i say its a great way to start this year!!!

wow!! this book was so much more than i thought it would be...was expecting a light fluff read but it tugged the heartstrings a bit and yes i admit there were some tears.. Great read by a first time author!

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was thinking this book was a stand-alone, and it actually kind of is because it wraps up without a real cliffhanger and one wouldn't have to keep reading except for wondering what happens next. And had it just ended I would have been ok moving on but it has a preview of the first chapter in the next book A Shot Worth Taking... so now I have another book to add to my never ending and ever growing to-read list. (Did that rambling run-on sentence make any sense - I am after all a reader, not a writer!)

This is a good book. Great for middle and high school aged. It has an uplifting message and is clean so no worries about content because there is nothing objectionable. It has some mean girls elements and family abandonment issues and while there is a little romance in it I wouldn't label this as young adult romance because it isn't at all the main focus.

The first half dragged just a little for me but I was hooked by mid-book and really enjoyed the second half & ending. A feel-good story!

Rating: 4 Stars - Great book

Content: Squeaky clean (nothing but a couple chaste kisses)

My review copy was provided by the author as part of the blog tour for A Game Worth Watching. Read my post at Have Book Will Read

A Game Worth Watching was a sweet, quick read that I enjoyed. It dealt with real issues, that a lot of teens face, with sensitivity and on a level that was perfect for both young teens and more mature lovers of the young adult genre.

Emma’s family is somewhat dysfunctional. She lives with her dad and 4 brothers, in a house that’s too small for all of them, and they barely scrape by money-wise. To make things worse Emma’s mum just upped and left when she was 12 and Emma has become the outcast of the family thanks to her role as the only remaining female in the house. She survives thanks to her solid friendship with her best friend Riley and their mutual love of basketball.

I liked Emma, although at times she did annoy me with her constant downer on girls! Her life was tough and she had heard enough people tell her that she wasn’t good enough that she believed it. No one would wish to be in her situation but since that was the only life she knew she made the best of it. She gave off the impression, and worked hard to maintain that impression too, that she didn’t care what people thought of her or the fact that she was from a poor family and going nowhere in life, but, eventually, even Emma started to question things.

I loved Riley. What a sweet, caring, considerate guy he was! Emma couldn’t have wished for a more perfect male best friend than him. He looked after her, both emotionally and financially, was happy to share his parents’ love with her, and was always there to be her sounding board when she needed him.

Emma and Riley’s love of basketball proved to be the catalyst for Emma making some much needed changes in her life. After steering clear of other girls, and all of their drama, for years, Emma is approached by the new coach of the girls’ basketball team. Coach Knowles has heard about Emma and wants her on the team. Emma is adamant she’s not joining the team, Riley talks her in to it, and the changes happen from there.

I loved seeing Emma’s progression from a down-trodden tomboy, who didn’t have any hopes for her life after high school finished, to a girl who accepted that if she was prepared to work at things and throw off the restraints that she’d forced herself to believe then anything was possible. She grew up and learned a lot about herself. She opened herself up to a whole new set of possibilities in her life and love.

I’d definitely recommend A Game Worth Watching as a book that girls can learn from. It has a great message to give them. It’s also clean of any sexual scenes or language, making it suitable for younger readers. Congratulations to Samantha Gudger on a worthy debut.

[Andrea · Rating 2 out of 5]

Before saying anything else, let me say that I would without a doubt absolutely hate playing basketball with Emma. She was constantly yelling at her teammates and being all-around bitchy. She thought she was better than them, both on and off the court, and she wasn't afraid to let them know it. In reality, though, one person doesn't make a team, no matter how good they are. That attitude is just going to make people hate them and NOT want to listen to their yelling and complaining.

Now that that has been said, I was actually really surprised to read that the author was a three-sport athlete. It's not that she knew nothing about basketball...It's just that the same things were repeated over and over again. It seemed more like it was written by someone who researched the sport a little bit and kept reusing the same phrases to make it seem like they knew what they were talking about.

I also thought this book was completely full of stereotypes. There's the ultimate stereotypical mean girl. The stereotypical girl attitudes. Considering that the author is a girl herself, you'd think she'd realize that girls don't actually do some of that stuff. Also, NO ONE can truly be as clumsy as Ashley. The most uncoordinated person in the world wouldn't be that bad. And if someone was truly that bad, they wouldn't magically transform into a superstar who never trips during the most important basketball game in the season.

Another thing that I didn't like was the writing, both in style and in general. A book automatically goes way down in rating when I notice that the author uses the wrong form of your/you're. Repeatedly. I also didn't like the style. The "little did she know, something was going to happen" writing got old really quickly. "She didn't think things could get worse. She was wrong." "But the team wouldn't make it through unscathed." (Not actual quotes, since I'm too lazy to go find them right now, but things like this wet being said constantly. Too much foreshadowing....STOP IT.)

Also, there were too many loose ends at the end. Where did Coach go in the middle of a freaking game? Our basketball coach's grandma died right before a game once (against OUR rivals, actually), and he still stayed until the end. What was this coach's emergency? Also, did Emma get to go to college? And what happened with her family?

The one redeeming factor in this book was Riley. He was honestly so nice and caring. And genuine.

I feel bad being so harsh on this book, but Riley truly was the only thing written right.

[Darcie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a good book! It is written for such a broad age range, it's perfect to read with your 12 year old daughter. It has a great storyline well developed characters and is an all around well written book. This book is inspirational and uplifting!

Emma's life is full of disfunction but her life comes together with basketball. Her best friend Riley is such a strong character and amazing friend, it's fun to watch their relationship develop. I cannot wait for the sequel...there will be a sequel right????

[Mo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would rate this book 3.45. Emma's family are so twisted, I felt I had to shower throughout most of her home scenes. Emma's mother left her father, brothers and herself. The brothers are bitter especially Lance. The father is on auto-pilot and they completely ignore Emma. She's the only girl in the family.
Her best friend Riley and the group of guys she plays basketball with her are her salvation. Riley is a sweet guy who looks out for Emma in every situation. He likes, encourages, taunts, makes fun of and protects Emma along with his family, the Ledgers. She actually lives with them most of the time while Emma and Riley are both in high school.
Riley encourages Emma to join the girls basketball team. She hates it until she starts to form attachments to one girl, Ashley. Ashley is an awkward freshman who reminds Emma of herself. She coaches Ashley which turns into a team event much to Emma's chagrin.
Along the way, Emma starts noticing Riley as a guy. She's confused and doesn't want their friendship to change because he is her support system. Yet, she starts to like him also.
The girls basketball team is terrible and the games mirror how teamwork, dedication and accepting change are indicative of living life. Emma doesn't want to stand out, but she does. She's an amazing basketball star. She hopes her own family will support her once she makes the newspaper and the team starts playing and winning games. Unfortunately, they don't care. But the Ledgers do and support Emma as if she was their child. They attend her games. They create an armband for her to wear the way they did Riley who is a basketball player also. They house and feed her without judgement.
All in all, this book gave me anxiety because Emma thought she was worthless throughout 93% of this book. Words are a powerful medium. Choose them wisely.
I've started book 2 and will write a review once I'm done. Happy reading!

[Marcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like Emma instantly because she's the sort of character who's strong, unassuming, doesn't let teenage-girl dramas affect her and did I mention she plays basketball too? After reading Dairy Queen series and On the Fence, I've now got a thing for female characters who are athletes. Just give me these qualities and I'm all for it.

I liked Emma for many reasons, but I must admit there are some parts that I thought she was not being brave enough especially when she almost gave up and believed what her family said about her not being able to reach places despite Riley's constant reminder that she can be more than what she believed herself to be.

I guess I can also understand that this mentality was also a result of her family's treatment of her. Over the years, it made her think less of herself. But the most important thing is she got over it in the end and started to believe that she can do so much more as opposed to what her family believes of her.

Good thing Riley has always been there and never stopped believing that she can do things she doubted herself to be able to do. Riley, who is too perfect and too precious. Seriously, there's nothing you can ask more for a best friend.

I never expected to like this book so much because I've been in constant search for books with cool female athletes and the last two I tried bored me to death. A Game Worth Watching hooked me from the beginning until the end.

[Monique · Rating 5 out of 5]

Make me cry, make me laugh, motivational sports, and I'm hooked. Loved it, although I had some complaints about Riley, and that "best friend" behavior... But overall it worked. The cruel words of Emma's brother must have been hard to write, like where did the author her this stuff? It was harsh, and I hope the second book redeems something out of this broken family.

[T.H. Hernandez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book. Emma Wrangton is one of the most complex young adult characters I've read in awhile. She's dealing with so much, including a sucktastic home life, mean girls at school, and a childhood best friend who she believes will be leaving her behind after graduation. What she doesn't have, is any faith in herself.

She loves basketball, loves playing it, knows she's good at it, but doesn't believe she's good enough. And that feeling isn't just about her performance. She doesn't believe she's capable of anything. And it's no wonder, her family is worse than abusive, they just don't care and it's heartbreaking.

Plot
The primary plot centers around Emma and the girls' high school basketball team. When the new coach asks her to join the team, Emma not only says no, but 'hell no and don't ask me again'. Emma doesn't do girls. Doesn't understand them, can't stand to be around them. Playing sports with them? Nope, not gonna happen. At least until her best friend, Riley, convinces her it's an opportunity to be seen by scouts, get a college scholarship. Emma doesn't believe she'll go to college, or ever leave the garage she calls home. But Riley sees so much in her, and convinces her to try. Nothing goes smoothly. It's not an easy transition and the girls don't want Emma anymore than she wants them. She comes close to giving up more than once, but perseveres, and grows as a character as do her teammates.

There are two solid subplots, one involving a romance with Riley and the other centers around her relationship with her family. Both are exceptionally well done and in neither case does the author take the easy way out.

World Building
I don't know much (anything) about basketball, but author Samantha Gudger so fully immersed me into this world, I felt like I was right there courtside throughout. I still don't know a whole lot about the sport, but I might actually want to watch a game now. Shocking, I know. If it doesn't involve a bat or a pigskin, I'm usually not interested, but A Game Worth Watching makes me want to watch. Go figure.

Characters
Emma is so layered, deep, wounded, and I absolutely adore her. I want to open up my spare room and let her live here, show her what a real family looks like. I loved watching her develop throughout the story, coming to terms with the things she can change and those she can't. And what can I say about Riley? His unwavering love and support for his best friend makes him one of the best of the good guys in young adult fiction.

The rest of the characters are equally well rounded with none slipping into stereotype. The girls on the team grow and develop right along with Emma. Emma's family is as messed up as it gets, and I do love that Samantha Gudger didn't feel compelled to wrap that all up in a pretty bow. Sometimes broken families stay that way. Not everything is a happily ever after, but the author leaves us with enough hope, that it's okay.

Top Five Things I Loved About A Game Worth Watching
1. The Opening Scene. We learn a heck of a lot about Emma and Riley in one really well written opening scene.

2. Riley. He is everything a best friend should be. He's loyal, fierce, protective, warm, gentle, aggressive, affectionate, and sweet.

3. Ashley. The freshman who pushes her way into Emma's face and worms her way into her heart is adorkable in the best possible way.

4. Basketball. Even though I didn't come into the book as a basketball fan, I couldn't help getting caught up in the game and rooting for the underdogs.

5. Riley's Family. The way his mom and dad open their home and their hearts to Emma is authentic. This is what well-adjusted families do. I never questioned anything they did because it always just felt real.

Bottom Line
A Game Worth Watching is a book worth reading. Filled with complex characters, a kick-ass sports plot, and layered with themes of friendship, acceptance, and forgiveness.

5+++ Stars!!
I loved, loved, loved...this book! It was amazing! I can't explain this book or the feelings it made me feel without telling the whole story! Which is no fun, for those who haven't read it! LOL! But just for those who can't decide whether to read it or not; there is a badass, basketball player, Emma! She is truely amazing! She has two younger, two older brothers and a father who despise her for a reason she has NONE control over! But she has the BEST best friend, Riley who taught her how to play basketball and so much more! Funny guy friends, female and male basketball teams, and soo many basketball scenes! There are so many moments in this book that you will feel the same emotions, Em does! She is a tough girl or just looking like one...She is just so broken inside. She is poor but has so much dignity and keeps her head high no matter what!
I read some of the other reviews, and some says she is so rude to people but for me, its the way its supposed to be! I mean when you are living such a bad life, I don't think trusting people would come so easy! So i just say, give Emma a chance to hear her story! And it comes with perk, Riley, too! ❤️❤️

I can't say its HEA, you feel ( OR HOPE just like me, LOL) there is going to be more!
HIGLY RECOMMENDED!!! Enjoy! :))

An amazing, even surprising first effort for a young author. Highly enjoyable story told in gripping fashion. Though the idea that the two main protagonists would end up in love was no surprise, indeed it is almost a requirement in this genre, how they got there was a fun and happy ride. The female protagonist was someone that pulls you in and makes you cheer for them, even when she might not be cheering for herself. The male, a good guy like you'd wish your daughter would find.

I'm looking forward to more books from Ms Gudger.

It has been several very long months in which I didn't find a book as good as this one to read. I enjoyed it from start to finish and loved the main characters Emma and Riley. The author created a beautiful story and I am grateful to her for his. The story even made me cry while reading some parts (it doesn't happen often for me to cry over a book), the most memorable one being in the scene where Emma asks her father to buy her sneakers and knows from start she will be rejected. I sincerely recommend the book as excellent read.

This book is my life. I use to play basketball alot when I was in primary school and I loved, but then high school came along and I didnt have time for basketball anymore. I despise girls because I just don't get them. Girls are squeaky. Yeah like they squeak and they screm and they complain ang ughh. Guys are just way better friends in general.

Emma..em..hope and aspiration..along with determination..
Brilliant book..definitely worth a read..
Em is by far the outstanding character..along with her bestfriend riley who defines the meaning of a friend..
Definitely goes to show that sports can redefine how you look at a person.
The story has its ups n downs..but at never any point do you feel like putting it down..
