I have mixed feelings about this book. As a student athlete in the 90s, specifically soccer and basketball, her struggles with fitting in and burnout really resonated with me. I never fully appreciated how lucky I was to play collegiate soccer in the mid-90s, how new women’s soccer was in the US at that time. But, I didn’t really care for the book style- the alternating historical perspectives and high school journal entries. It didn’t help it to feel cohesive enough.
