Fight Like a Girl by Sheena Kamal

4.0

Things are not going well for Trisha. Her dad was just killed in a car accident, her mom is violent with her, and she can't seem to bring the fierceness of her Muay Thai training into the ring with her. Muay Thai boxing attracts fighters of many national ancestry, including Trinidadian-Canadian Trisha and her multicultural friends and teammates. Her mom left the island when Trisha was in utero, and her dad split his time between the two countries.

This isn't a suck-you-in story. Even though it's about a very physically person, it's a cerebral read. Normally I can relate to distance (lolsob), but I wish I'd been more drawn to Trisha.
