Description
Sixteen-year-old Millie Novak feels stuck in an "if only" rut. She's constantly wondering what could be if she were stronger and faster, had more confidence, or was more popular. Her life is further complicated by her parents' recent divorce and her struggles with social anxiety. Millie decides to reinvent herself, enlisting the help of a new friend and some creative deception. As she navigates her relationships with her teammates and crush, Millie must confront the challenges of reinvention and the consequences of her lies. But will she find success on the roller derby team and in love, or will reality catch up with her? As Millie's world begins to unravel, she's forced to reevaluate what's truly important to her. With its honest portrayal of teenage struggles and self-discovery, this novel is a relatable and engaging read for fans of sports fiction and coming-of-age stories.
