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.

Camilla aka "Furia" is a strong young woman living in Rosario, Argentina. She has dreams of playing futbol in the USA. When her childhood love, Diego, visits Rosario on a break from his professional futbol career, the two rekindle a romance. Now Camilla must choose which dream to pursue: playing futbol, or a relationship with Diego.
I listened to this story as an audiobook, and really enjoyed it! It was fascinating to learn more about Argentina, and what it would mean for Camilla to try and pursue her dreams from Rosario.
I think her character was written beautifully, and as a young woman she has so much strength, conviction, and heart. I was rooting for her the whole time, no matter what path she chose.
I don't know if I see myself rereading this book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it while listening to it. This is a great book to pick up if you love young adult books, futbol, strong female characters and romance!
