[David Santos · Rating 5 out of 5]

It took me a few months after downloading the ebook to actually read, because I know how all these sports books turn out. I didn't want ti read it until I was in the mood for another fairyale ending. As predictable as the ending was its everything beforehand that made it good. I love basketball and never got to play on a team but reading this made me want to join a league....preferably female team ha. Its a very good book.

I also like how the book shows the girls team as more powerful than the males. Something J like to do in my books aswell.
