The Necessary Hunger by Nina Revoyr

4.0

I really loved the way the basketball games were written. They were so intense and drew me in completely. I also felt Nancy's feelings for Raina as if they were my own. My only lament is the end! It was like everything was building to this amazing thing and then.. it just fell flat. I suppose it was meant to be a comment on real life, things like that happen, we miss 100% of the shots we don't take and such, but I sort of feel cheated. Even though I loved this book, I really wanted to finish it with a joy in my heart. But instead, I feel like I'm reliving all my old love wounds. It would have been nice to read a book about lesbians that didn't end in heartbreak.
I hope they get together later in life.
