Maya Taylor-Hart knows art, not athletics. She speaks in sketches, playlists, and offbeat observations-never in football lingo. But when Friday nights suddenly revolve around the stadium lights, she's the one stuck trying to figure out what a "first down" even is. Football isn't her world. Until it is. Between the crash course in downs and penalties, the whispered Swiftie references tucked in her sketchbook margins, and the quiet pull of someone who makes the bleachers feel less lonely, Maya discovers this season is about more than a scoreboard. It's about finding her place. Finding her voice. And maybe-just maybe-finding that first spark of something more. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, Taylor Swift Easter eggs, and coming-of-age stories that blend heart with humor, An Artsy Girl's Guide to Football invites readers to see the game through fresh eyes. With wit, warmth, and a touch of teenage magic, this debut YA novel captures the rush of first crushes, the courage of self-discovery, and the unexpected ways we learn to belong.
