Mini-review: I had way too many thoughts going through my mind when I finished this book — and the truth is now, almost a month later, I still think about it on a regular basis! It is SO GOOD and definitely deserves all the hype it might have (even though I feel like it is TJR’s least talked about book — WHY?!). This is my third book by TJR this year, and I love how it cemented my love for her writing. Never in a million years would I think that I would say that a book about sports is now one of my all-time favourites. It deals, in a nuanced way, with topics such as discipline, self-respect and feminism. And throughout the book, even though I really wanted to, I could not force myself to hate Carrie Soto. Love it, love it, love it!
