True by Karl Taro Greenfeld
3.0
I got this book for free as a Kindle First selection.
Despite the book occasionally becoming bogged down in lots of sports talk (which I'm really clueless about) I really liked the main character's (Trudy, or True, as everyone calls her) voice. It felt authentic, and made me forget the author is male.
The book started off really promising, and I continued reading because I wanted to see what happened. Unfortunately, it became kind of cliched, and minor spoiler, it's like True never really changes. The ending was really disappointing.
On the other hand, I'm not the target audience for this, so perhaps a young adult might rate this higher. I am happy to see a sports book with a female protagonist, though!
