CAPSIZED

by Charlotte Lillie Balogh

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS meets GOSSIP GIRL, set in the wildly competitive world of girls’ high school rowing.

At the beginning of the fall season, JO BRYANT, a spunky novice, and MARGARET DOUGLAS, the polished varsity captain, form an unlikely friendship within the elite BOSTON ROWING CLUB: an exclusive, all-girls program where secrets and scandal lurk just beneath the surface. With the legendary Head of the Charles Regatta on the horizon, the girls and their teammates navigate first loves, first heartbreaks, and the messy bonds that form when winning isn’t the only thing on the line.
