Not at all what I was expecting but very interesting. Despite the entire plot existing within a two day boxing tournament, the book treats the sport and the tournament as an afterthought, instead getting into the minds of the people who would be child boxers and what their lives will actually be about. While each girl is a boxer, they’re truly all just children, and it’s interesting to see how the world works through their eyes. I don’t love the writing style but it’s punchy and repetitive in a way that both fits the young characters and the setting of a boxing tournament.
