Book: Catching Jordan (Hundred Oaks #1) by Meg Cabot
Jordan Woods is the starting quarterback for an all-state football--and she's a girl. When she was younger, all she wanted was to be one of the players on the field while she was a cheerleader on the sidelines. Now, she leads a sixty-plus team as their captain. All she she cares about is getting into a Division I school, specifically Alabama.
However, all of a sudden, a Chace Crawford look-alike named Ty comes along and shakes things up for Jordan. He's hot and a quarterback too. Usually, she's only seen as one of the guys, but now she wants Ty to notice her--really notice her. This is all further complicated because with Ty comes other complications with her always easy, care-free best friend Sam Henry. Between Ty and Henry, who'll be catching Jordan?
If you loved Abby, then you'll come to love Jordan too because she has a love for football that is unrivaled. Also, she has a really cute best friend that'll steal your heart too.
