A story about a teenager who doesn’t get into Yale and is devastated. She picks up running as she figures out what to do next. The main character is unlikeable, a bit judgmental and selfish, but I actually found her relatable at points in that her attitudes and actions came from inexperience/youth. At other points, I was annoyed with her obvious privilege and inability to be a decent friend. I loved the parts about running and also her evolution of her relationship with her mother. Overall this book made me want to run more, which is basically the only reason I read it.
