A review by bookonthebrightside30
Dangerous Play by Emma Kress

4.0

This is a YA book that features a fierce group of girls who are on a Field Hockey team working their way to the state championships. After a sexual assault, Zoe makes it her goal to make sure nothing like that happens to another girl. She and her teammates take justice into their own hands. While they become the town superheroes, it may cost them if anyone finds out who is doing the punishing.

I enjoyed this book about Zoe and the field hockey team and their journey to a state championship. The characters were well developed and interesting. The book dealt with issues such as gender inequity, sexual harassment, bullying, and victim blaming. I thought the author handled these topics with care. The girls were strong and fierce and when hit with obstacles they banded together in friendship instead of against each other. I was impressed with the ending and would recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley and OrangeSky Audio for the opportunity to read and review this book.
