This book is told from the perspective of two sisters, Stella and Ellie. I like both of the sisters well enough. I preferred Stella as a character but having Ellie’s perspective really helped the book. I loved their relationship as sisters and appreciate that they had legitimate flaws and were rounded individuals.
I also appreciate the candid thoughts on being a women with power and something to say. The author had some really good lines in the book. If it was something I owned I think I would have highlighted or underlined several lines. She tied in discussions about the pressure of high school athletics well.
I legitimately was left wondering until the end and enjoyed the character development that occurred through out.
As for diversity in the book: sexualities are discussed and there are a couple POC individuals. That being said the sisters are not POC.
