Practice girl / Estelle Laure.

Laure, Estelle, (author.).

Summary:
Jo Beckett is looking for love. She's fallen for a few boys, but for some reason, they've never fallen for her. One night at a party, she finds out the truth. Those boys, who are on the wresting team she manages, consider her just a "practice girl" - the term for a girl who's good enough to hook up with but not to date. With this crushing revelation, Jo feels so many things - heartsick, ashamed, betrayed, and angry. But she refuses to let that label define her. In piecing her self-esteem back together, Jo is forced to unpack more uncomfortable truths about all her relationships - from her best friend to the boy she likes - to understand her real worth.
