They are funny, rowdy, loyal, trash-talking "fast girls," and I am having a blast writing about them as well as exploring some of the darker problems faced by elite teen athletes. I am calling it Bridesmaids meets Friday Night Lights. For now.(less)

Another beautiful, painful book by one of my favourite YA authors. Kathleen Glasgow is so adept at never letting us lose sight of the light, even as she explores dark and difficult subjects. Real, honest and beautifully written, as always.
