I'd say this is closer to a 2.5. It was just boring. It tackled some feminist themes that are important and should be talked about, especially with the younger generations, but I'd have to stay engaged long enough to do it first.

5.0

I picked this up to finish one of my 2022 reading challenges. Sports stories aren't necessarily my jam otherwise. Yamile does an excellent job representing Camila's sports aspirations and how those clash with mysogeny in the culture around her, as well as her developing romance. Content warnings for mysogeny, abusive father, and murdered or missing girls.
