A fun and quick read, but there were aspects of the fights which I felt went under explored. Very nice use of language.

Well written; I really enjoyed that the first 75% of the book just contains the first rounds.
Rachel put her mouth guard in and banged her fists against her headgear. Kate Heffer looked at the gym, and the other girls in it, at the men referees, and the men coaches and the men judges and their sad paunches, and the few parents scattered about, applauding for something, applauding for anything, clapping seemingly only to applaud that the young women doing the fighting had bodies and could use their bodies for certain things, anything, really, which included boxing, which, to most of the parents, seemed like a funny coincidence, if nothing else.
It shouldn't have been a novel -- it loses steam quite fast. It's well-written on a sentence level, I'm just not sure the full picture is quite ready yet, and I'm personally very tired of reading about physicality that the characters seem to be half-removed from. How do you make a book about a boxing tournament feel removed from the reality of hitting people?
