About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is struggling with the aftermath of a poor impulsive decision or feels like a single mistake has defined their entire reputation. This contemporary story follows Liv, a talented softball player who loses her scholarship after a physical altercation on the field. To redeem herself, she joins the football team as a kicker at a new school. While the plot features a charming romance with the quarterback, the core of the book is about accountability, resilience, and the courage required to reinvent oneself when the old path is blocked. It is an excellent choice for navigating themes of social shame, female empowerment in male-dominated spaces, and the nuance of a sincere apology. It is appropriate for readers aged twelve and up who enjoy sports narratives with emotional depth.
