Where to start? This book follows Valentina Castillo-Green's summer at soccer camp as she co-captains her team with her rival Leticia. While she finds the experiences very aggravating in the beginning, them ending up paired together probably is the best thing that could have to Vale. I love the banter that they have between each other, it's very easy to understand why her best friends Ovie and Dina would make fun of her so much about her obsession with Leticia. I feel like this book was able to grapple with how the pressures from a parent (especially a parent that is very scant with their affection) can lead to someone pushing themself into become a person that they may not really want to be. Seeing Vale slowly regain a love of soccer with the help of her team and rebuild the relationships that she actively damaged was touching. With this and Ophelia After All under her belt, I am very excited to see the next thing that Racquel Marie whips up.
