In The Swish

That was a completely unexpected pleasure! Such engaging characters, such consistent pacing, such wonderful dialogue, I breezed through this in less than a day. And it makes me so happy to see a book like this, about girls playing sports and thier friendships and rivalries (and hooray! without a trace of hackneyed romantic subplot) that is actually good and well-written and not some formulaic piece of tripe designed to fill a hole in the world of books where jock girls live. And I think it was a damn shame that the back-of-book blurb sold this tale short by making it sound like it would be a tedious slog.

A big fat thank you to Fitzhenry & Whiteside for the free copy and the enjoyment I got from reading it.
