⚽️ When Liz Lowe ends up pregnant, she gives up her full-ride soccer scholarship to UCLA to have her baby. First, Mia is born and, after years of beachside soccer sessions with her mom, she is showing the same brilliant ability as an athlete. Then, Cricket is born - again, she shows some real athletic ability. But even at that young age, Mia has been conditioned to be the adult, the protector, and the sacrificer. When her life hangs in the balance, will Mia give up everything to help the sister that has always put her first?
⚽️ I didn’t expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. I initially passed on it, until I heard it was about soccer. I’m a sucker for sports fiction, so I knew I had to try this one. I love anything that can accurately portray sports at the elite level, and I really loved this aspect of the story.
⚽️ This is a story about sisterhood, soccer, and sacrifice. I enjoyed the characters and was really rooting for them. I was very frustrated with Cricket from the beginning and that feeling never really went away. I was so happy when Mia found her person…someone who finally put her first and loved her like she deserved. Overall, I flew through this one and really enjoyed it.
