Does baseball boggle your mind? Is football completely confusing? She’s Got Game: The Woman’s Guide to Loving Sports (or Just How to Fake It) (St. Martin’s Press, $14.99) is the perfect resource for women who have it all together but just don’t understand the rules—when it comes to professional and college sports, that is. You’re the kind of woman who can adapt to every situation. You know just what to wear and what to say. Nothing flusters you--except going to a game. Sporting events raise so many questions. What is March Madness all about? What on earth is a pop fly? If they just had the fourth down, then why is it the first down now and not the fifth? What’s a down anyway? What do I wear? Will I wipe out if I wear heels? Should I wear makeup? And how do you say that player’s name? Don’t you wish you had a smart girlfriend who could explain it all without making you feel like an idiot? Now you do. Melissa Malamut brings a lifelong love of sports, a girly-girl’s sensibility, and insight from fashion editors, friends and her own experiences to She’s Got Game. In this incredibly well-researched and engaging book, Melissa gives you everything you need to feel at ease and fall in love with sports.
