"Maybe everything has to end in order to start again."

First off, I DID NOT KNOW this was A DUET.

Crossed Over is a book that will be your next roman empire. The book you think about in a year from whenever you read it.

I know if I say too much, I'll end up spoiling it, but GO READ IT. I definitely went through the five stages of grief reading Nia's journey; I feel like Crossed Over healed part of my inner child.

A beautiful, coming of age story that will leave you begging for more.

tropes // roller derby, sports, slow burn, coming of age, found family
