I totally get the excitement for the sequel to 'Sidelined: The QB and Me'—I've been refreshing my news feeds like crazy waiting for updates too! From what I’ve gathered scouring author interviews and publisher announcements, there hasn’t been an official release date dropped yet. The original book’s author, Marie Marquardt, tends to keep fans in the loop through her social media, especially Instagram and Twitter, so that’s where I’d camp out for the big reveal. Sometimes sequels take a hot minute to materialize, especially if the author’s juggling other projects or diving deep into edits.
In the meantime, if you’re craving more YA sports romances with that same heartfelt vibe, I’d recommend checking out 'The Gravity of Us' by Brittainy Cherry or 'The Deal' by Elle Kennedy. Both have that mix of swoon and emotional depth that made 'Sidelined' so addictive. Marquardt’s also written other gems like 'Flight Season', which might tide you over while we wait. Fingers crossed the announcement comes soon—I’ll definitely be screaming about it in my book club Discord when it does!
